payday advance

So I knew that coming to college was going to be a lot of new experiences but I had no idea that some of those experiences would be not so fun.  As I went through my freshman year I realized that sometimes when you drink too much some of these situations tend to crop up pretty fast.  The same thing can be said the morning of a midterm when you have not had enough sleep and didn;t study because you forgot all about the exam. Those were some of the interesting new experiences I have had since coming to college.  About a month ago aI had another experience that was quite unpleased and I hope I never have to go through again.  I was doing my usual thing by just going to class and doing my work, but I got this e-mail from out of the blue that I had not paid my monthly tuition bill.  Now I work for the university and I also depend on some money from my parents.  I have been slowly phasing myself off of my parents money but it was still there to some degree in my savings.  Anyway so I looked in to it and they said that my checking account had been restricted because I had overdrawn from last months bill.  When I asked the office about my check they found that I had not received one for the last two months because I had not filled out some paperwork and the checks were sent to my parents.  When I called they said that they couldn;t find them and then I was back to where I started.  Now I had this big mess of a situation that just made me want to sit down and forget about it all at once.  Unfortunately I had to pay that bill or my semester would not count and I would lose all credit for my hard work.  I tried first asking my dad for a cash advance and he said that he didn’t have the money at the moment to be able to handle it at all.  He recommended that I get a payday loan until I can get my check situation sorted out.  I had absolutely no idea what that meant at the time so I had to go out and find a payday advance office and they gave me just enough to cover the bill.  Now I have all of this stuff worked out but it was just a big mess that I never thought I would ever have to deal with in my life.
