vent session, anyone?

So, here i sit, or have sat for the past 2 weeks rather, trying to apply for federal student aid. You wont believe how ridiculously hard it is just to file the application. Unless you have before, then you know my frustration. Once you've given them all the information they could ever need about you (i.e: name, birth date, gross yearly income, shoe size, religious up bringing etc.) from there it becomes amusingly complex to process. I've had to check on it ever single day since i filed it, and every single day there is something wrong with it, apparently they know if you lie about your shoe size. And now that it has completely processed, i don't qualify for any of the grants.
So, tell me this how is it that and 18 year old daughter of a widow, who supports herself is expected to pay for her own education. It's common knowledge that you need a higher education to be successful in any sense. So why do they make it so damn expensive to do the right thing, that's not to mention that nobody is willing to help me out with these expenses.

That's it, I'm going to find a way to beat the system, get rich quick and screw college. Stick it to the man, if you will.
