If you're panicking you haven't received your FAFSA or your Pell Grants or anything like that, like your uh student loans, would you would you relax, okay? Your school's going to get paid for, all right? But there's a few things that you can do to make sure that everything is okay. First thing I want you to do is go to the studentaid.gov website, all right? Make sure there aren't any buttons, any forms you need to sign, okay? Make sure all that's taken care of. Make sure when you go to the notifications, there's nothing at the top saying you need to do something. I was just in the website today for my daughter because we had to make in a correction. I explained to her, if they know you're trying to get your money, if the school knows, they're not going to make you leave, right? They know it's coming. They know it's taking a little bit. They know there's been a lot of changes. They've had to make some adjustments. It's going to take you might not get it for a couple of weeks. But your school's going to be paid for. Don't be dropping out of school. Don't do that. Next thing you can do is maybe call your financial aid office, but I'm going to tell you right now they're going to tell you the exact same thing I just told you. It's just taking a little longer. It's just the amount of times that I forgot to sign something and it the amount of times that has happened and it had to wait a couple of weeks for my money to come in. It is what it is. Your school's not they they know you're going to get the money, just taking a while. They're not Don't panic. You can be take some initiative and maybe look at the website or call your finance office, but don't be dropping out of classes for heaven's sakes. Worst case scenario you'll have to get student loans, right? One semester of student loans isn't going to take you out and this semester look for some scholarships. Do really good on your grades and this semester and go get some scholarships. Like if you used to get into Pell grants, I get it. I understand. Some of y'all be living off that refund check. I get it. But don't be dropping out of college. Just make the adjustments. Have patience. Understand the things are happening right now and there's not as many people the Department of Education. Anyway, calm, breathe. It's going to be okay.
