Warning: This is a rant.I have Saturn in the 3rd house, and ...
"With Saturn in your third house your education may be interrupted, but you’ll be an eternal student seeking information your whole life. With your good concentration, mental depth and intellectual self-discipline you'd make an excellent researcher or scientist. There may be a tendency to stick to the familiar due to an unconscious fear of the unknown. Watch out for depression. You don't waste words, and communications tend to be short and to-the-point. There may be some weakness in the lungs, so be careful about smoking."

I hate you, Saturn. I hate you with the passion of a thousand scorpio moons. Argh.
This year, I transfered schools and then changed my major. Everything went smoothly and then I found out that I would have to graduate a year later unless I took summer school to catch up. The prerequisites for each program is strictly set so that you take each course one after another. Since I transfered AND I switched majors, I've missed one year of their prereqs. Luckily, my counselor gave me permission to take two of them this coming semester, so I'm only one semester behind.
While I managed to get my prereqs handled, the electives for my major don't give me much freedom either. This school really makes it a pain in the @ss to catch up with everyone else if you transfered and everyone knows it's for your money. The school is great in a way that you start off studying for your major your freshman year, but if you transfer as a sophomore or even a junior, you might as well consider yourself a freshman again because none of the credit you earned at your other school will go towards your major. It'll go towards your liberal arts core curriculum and the school is also notorious for not accepting credit for whatever reason the advisors think of just to make you retake the course at their school.
I was warned about this from the start and even when I found out about all this prereq malarcky I was kept calm and wasn't even really upset that I'd have to graduate essentially a year later than planned. Yeah... I was let down but it was the risk I took for moving schools.
However, I found out from my parents two nights ago that they may not pay for college my junior year which really ****** me off because my parents are NOT poor whatsoever. They're not even remotely unable to pay for college. I mean- filling out my FAFSA is a joke. The government wouldn't give me a dime. The reason why my parents may not pay for college is because they're fighting over who will pay for college. My mom won't pay because I'm not studying what she wants me to study and my dad doesn't want to pay unless she pays too (they're divorced).
I want to get a loan but I have no credit. My mother won't even cosign and my Dad can't cosign because he has horrible credit.
So... now I have no idea what is going to happen this coming Fall. If I don't pay for college, I don't go to college and that's it for me. I'd have to work for maybe 2 years and then go back to college or just not go to college at all.
ARGH. ARGH. ARGH. Something in the sky... someone watching over me... does NOT want me to ever get through college.
Things can get worse... but this really blows. I'm not sure what I did to deserve all this but... karma is a horrible mean kid. 
Does anyone else have Saturn in the 3rd house and had to deal with something to this extent? How did you deal with it?
Ok. Done ranting. Sorry I complain a lot lol.

I find myself with drive, the ability to work harder than ever for what I want and some extra badly-needed self-discipline. I know it may be hard to envision right now, but this delay and frustration will prove very useful down the road, methinks.....
