I'd like to find some scholarships for the future, except I can't write, I'm not smart, and I'm definetely not athletic .. the only talent I somewhat have is singing. Plus I'm expecting a baby in January if that means anything ... Any suggestions?

Check out Fastweb.com. That is the top free (you don't need to pay to get listings) scholarship site. It takes about twenty minutes to fill out the questionnaire, but then you will get emails with scholarships that apply to your circumstances. You have a talent - your singing, so create a CD of your singing, and use that as your "essay". No need to write much if you can sing to demonstrate who you are. If you must write an essay, create one by talking into a recorder, or talking to someone who can write down what you say about yourself. Try to say something that lets people know who you are - do not write what you think people want to hear. That's boring for the people who have to read all the scholarship apps. What makes you different? And congratulations on your baby-to-come (hey, if you have twins, there's a scholarship for that!)

You're pretty screwed, especially since you are pregnant, take out $200,000 of loans and you might be able to get a bachlors degree and manage to keep yourself and your baby alive at the same time..

If you missed the deadline for filing your application, you may have to wait until the next semester to get in to the program. Talk to your recruiter.
