Yes. baddood;
It also probably helps that my mom is a teacher. madood;
I get shit.
The state hates me apparantly, so now I'm sinking. Sinking into debt.
School induced debt.
No wonder you're a socialist.
It's the only answer, capitalist pig.
You'll realize someday.
Yeah, getting overpaid in government handouts is the answer. I have seen the light.

because public school teachers have so many other perks.
a single income public employee with 2 dependents just has so much spare money. and i mean that money going back into a public college is just
wasting the tax-payer dollar.
get your head out of your ass.

You go to a state school. Most people are paying 4-5 times more per semester than you are now. Cry me a shitdamn river.

In private schools. doodhuh;
You completely ignored the damn statement about the fucking money going back into the public. It goes to run the school and pay the teachers.
Guess what: they would still have their incomes subsidized by that money.
I'm over 4k in debt. I'm applying for more scholarships next year.

Hey I'm not in debt because I'm waiting to earn my money first before I pay an ass load for school.

10,000 luts to college applicants?
My mother's frantically trying to get all the rich people in their suburban book club / fake social justice groups to give me scholarships. I'd rather work for it. doodthing;

Lol. Lets start a Boyah college. JMV can teach us all coding. Sam can teach us about cosplaying. Socks can teach us about how to get girls. Steal and Kaz can teach us to play guitar. And the list goes on...
I can teach about
I can teach mathematics, music theory, and english literature, as well as much more important things like being a trap and having no backbone.
Tyler can teach us how to... OK, even I can't go there.
i can teach you how to kill a man and hide the body in the jury box in dorchester district court akudood;
My family is pretty poor as well. My sister is paying for all of her schooling through financial aid. Hopefully, I get to do the same thing.

omg i would love to help you teach lit studies
there are others that could help too, we could make a whole english department among us
American Lit, British Lit, World Drama, Contemporary Poetry, Mythology, etc.
also i would want to teach a beginning poetry writing class even though i suck :(

I'm good at analyzing literature and writing subpar poetry, and that's about it, so I'd try to claim it doodthing;. I could imagine us dual teaching the class, building off each others' ideas until we break into back and forth recitation, taking stanzas or character lines, until we start doing mirroredly synchronized dancing while shouting the same monologue with perfect symmetry.
I was an English major for a month. giggle;

that sounds amazing and a hell of a lot more fun than any class i'm taking right now

The idea of practicality kicked in.
I have absolutely no desire to go into journalism or to become a crusty old lit professor down the road, but I still love the literary arts.
A cousin of mine does a lot of freelance stuff and occasionally gets pieces published for a bigger city paper and has offered me a few opportunities to meet some people, but I'm not sure if I could handle that.
Regardless, I write daily and see it as more of an involved hobby than a potential career.
Who knows? Maybe some day I'll have the balls to actually flesh out ideas and build a novel, but doesn't everyone say that?
I had a great idea about two years ago and went a little wild on a single concept.
I had around a hundred pages of printed hard copy, but it's sitting back at my house somewhere.
I've soaked my brain with lit classes during my short college career so far, though.
Oh well.
There's still years and years and years.
Looking at my decisions for life, your average person would probably ask why the hell I bothered going to college. My major is a BFA in Creative and Professional Writing and I don't have any idea what I'm gonna do with it. All I want to do with my life is write, really.
Sometimes I feel like I've set myself up for a dead end, but at the same time, I don't care, because as long as I have writing and Hensa I'll be okay anyway.
And I don't care how much money it took, it was worth coming here just for learning to write more effectively, even if I'm still so pathetically naive in my craft.
I could teach European history/politics with me## n_u
Or gym class
I will teach biology :3

I wouldn't worry too much about that writing especially is a craft most people never fully master its just something you build on and make your own over time and you have plenty of that.

Without being a sappy, cliche moron, if it makes you happy, play that hand.
I'm still kind of mushing my way around here, poking here and there and trying to find a direction, which may be the wrong thing to do, but It doesn't bother me.
Sure, money woes are stressful at times, but that comes with the turf. And I love playing around with an arsenal of knowledge that actually pertains to things that I love.

Fo shizzle, 100%. I can also relate to some of what Kaz has to say as well.

oh i know, but as much as i love that it's like an odd, amorphous, absorbent, ever-changing, malleable, growing piece of human spirit, i still sometimes wish it would hurry up and grow a little faster :3

I've been thinking about college for math and music. The music is a must, that's what drives me and gives me soul. But that's not the only thing that inspires me, I really like math too. So I figure, I end up being a music/math major at a strong college, manage to squeak in a day job somewhere, and keep playing piano, playing at clubs occasionally. Since I'm a hard worker, did well and probably will do well in school, if I don't get fired for my birth defect, I'll probably get a solid enough day job. It's not very romantic, and I think the pragmatism of it is overrated. I don't ever want to give up my dream of being a recording artist, however much I won't actually mind having a day job. Doing community organizing stuff would also be really nice too, I guess.
So: rock on Kaz and Boognish. I figure as long as I'm honest with myself and do what I can, it'll work out at least passably.
I love writing but I don't want to start sounding pretentious in everything I say what do I do ;_;

I always get turned down for financial aid. My parents apparently make too much money before taxes for me to be eligible.
And then those taxes and bills kick in and bring us down to the point that we can't even go grocery shopping every week. Cost of living on Long Island seriously sucks.
