Stressing...

I have no idea what I'm doing for living come the fall. All my friends have graduated therefore I have no one to live with. I have never had good luck with the unknown roommate situation so I am highly against finding a random roommate to live with (Fang Chen aka 'Cathy' circa freshman year who disappeared for 72 hours and spoke about 10 words of English and dropped out a couple weeks later only for me to get a replacement roommate who smelled something awful and barely spoke). I live about an hour away from campus so I could possibly commute but that would be really inconvenient given that if I need to get to campus for something, it'll be a 2-hour round-trip. And, I tried to make a condensed schedule but of course most of my classes are only offered once and I didn't have a choice and have classes 5x a week. AND have I mentioned the rapidly rising gas-prices which are kicking me in the ass right about now. I have problems with not knowing things like this. I'm a planner so for me to attempt to put this on hold until maybe something pans out, I stress and think about it constantly. I have no idea what to do. So, please, someone help me. Sincerely yours

Mom forced to live in car with dogs

SANTA BARBARA, California (CNN) -- Barbara Harvey climbs into the back of her small Honda sport utility vehicle and snuggles with her two golden retrievers, her head nestled on a pillow propped against the driver's seat.

A former loan processor, the 67-year-old mother of three grown children said she never thought she'd spend her golden years sleeping in her car in a parking lot.

"This is my bed, my dogs," she said. "This is my life in this car right now."

Is it wrong that I feel worse for the beautiful dogs than I do for the woman?
