Welcome to Hell, please take a number!

Oh yes, here is an area that deserves much ink (well, electronic ink now I suppose). This could easily be the single most irritating place on campus for students. Sure, registration can be a hassle, or certain profs get on your nerves, but that's minor league stuff. Financial aid affects money, and therefore makes it the most important place on campus. This is exactly why it is usually staffed with a roving gang of "Over 40, Livin-Large Hell's Angels". These people are apparently born and bred not to take any crap from anyone. They would probably have told Hitler he had not properly filled out his requests for more amunition funding and would have to postpone the war until the next time Form A110-eat-my-shorts.3 was available (approximatley 300 moons after the winter solstace occured on the next even month and day).

The beauty of the torture chamber known as the Financial Aid Office, is that it is totally politically correct. It ruins everyone's lives; young, old, black, white, you name it, you're screwed. Not only that, it is also one of the most far-reaching departments known to man. It has the ability to screw your life up through the phone, mail, internet, and probably alien contacts. All they need is your social security number and they own you. Heck, that alone is a cause of much frustration as they've been known to lose those from time to time.

Sure, some of you reading this (all three of you), are probably saying "Surely Clay, you are overexaggerating." Which of course means you must be rich and have never had to square of against the Teamsters. So, all hail the bloodflow that follows, as we will definitely be giving out periodic awards for the 'worst' stories received.
