I just spent $40 on photo paper for my photo class, and without even thinking of the sensitivity, i freakin opened the pack and took out all the papers from the package. My room was pretty brightly lit too. The paper looks yellow. Can I still use it, or do I have to spend another butt load of money on more paper?

If you mean darkroom photo paper, you just ruined the whole thing and have to buy new stuff. Kind of why it comes in apackage and also very thick, black, light tight plastic envelope.
When in the darkroom, whatever paper you are not using, put away in your package and make sure it's closed before you turn on the light to expose the paper you want to make a print on. Red safe light is ok for photo paper to be exposed to. It won't ruin it.

You can take it out in a low lit room, i usually transfer some paper in the evening away from the light. I take out 3 or four sheets and transfer it directly into an envelope that i use to transfer the papers and put the rest back into my drawer. I've had some photo paper exposed to some light (not directly) and the results turned out ok...

All I can say is try it and see how it looks when it's developed, but I think you're going too have to spend another butt load of money on more paper

sounds like they are history, keep them sealed up and try one piece at school,
dont worry you will never do it again, a hard lesson and it sucks i know.
hope this helps you some: doing b+w will teach you the foundations of exposure and will put you in another league from the average shooter

I know that from doing photography in high school. There's nothing you can do with it if it's been exposed to light. It really suc*s but ....

Congratulations, you just "fogged" the paper. It is now useless. At least you won't ever do that again.
