My school did the same stupid thing when I was in college. Every time I renewed my scholarship, there was a frantic week of searching and stressing, with my parents trying to find their tax documents while I panicked about whether I would keep getting my scholarship.
Did it happen for a good reason? Well, it did give me the inspiration for this comic strip.
TEXT OF COMIC:
I can’t stand this!
Hmm?
Remember the scholarship I got when I enrolled in this stupid college? I got a notice saying I had to fill out some form to renew it. So I went in to the registrar’s office to get the form. And it’s asking for stuff like my parents’ tax documents!
Seriously, it is the exact same form you fill out when you’re applying for financial aid, and having to prove that you’re so poor that you can’t pay for school on your own. I am renewing an academic scholarship! This is not the same thing at all! The world is trying to drive me INSANE!
Don’t take it so hard. Everything happens for a reason.
That is total crap! What possible reason could there be? You tell me, right now, why did THIS happen?
It happened because the school finds it easier to reuse a form than go to the trouble of printing a new one.
That makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER.
Everything happens for a reason, but pretty much nothing happens for a GOOD reason.
