it took me 2 YEARS to figure out how actually do the FAFSA ..

I found out I was an independent cause I wasnt adopted

it took forever to figure out tho..

Yes girl. I was TOO salty when my school told me that I was still a dependent at the age of 23 lol. They told me that I won't be independent until my 24th birthday. SUCH A HASSLE!

"According to the FAFSA people..." LOL! I really wonder who they are and why they have all them daggone rules?! No. I'm kidding lol. I know it has to be thorough.

Thanks for answering that question.. it helped me also.
