I'm going back to college this fall, and I, too, am paying a debt to the bursar for $1100 (I've already paid about $390 of it). I'm going to a different college than that one, though, because I'll be in the same county. The one I owe money to is closer, but out-of-county, and so I have to do this thing where I run back and forth a couple of times between the schools to deal with chargebacks, so I don't have to pay them.

I don't even fully know what I'm doing. Right now, the goal is to get a Communications degree with a Television Production Track. That track could change to Radio Production or even Creative Writing, but those are less likely.

I'd like to learn some computer programming, but you need math and physics for that, and I don't even remember much past adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Math was never a strong subject for me.

Good luck to you all, and may we all come out of this with a degree, new skills, new friends, and pride in ourselves!
