it makes me so fucking mad that there are just so many people who can afford to go out on a random night of the week, get wasted, and not show up to class the next day
I have 2 jobs and 18 credit hours (engineering student+ my college charges per semester, rather than per credit hour) and I'm still having to take out $15k+ in loans, paying for it all myself. I CANT JUST GO OUT DRINKING ON A THURSDAY NIGHT, I HAVE CLASSES TOMORROW THAT COST ME MONEY AND SCHOLARSHIPS THAT DEPEND ON MY GPA BEING HIGH
I'm happy for you that you can afford to be doing that, I really am. but when I can't, don't act all surprised that I'm prioritizing the one of the most expensive things I will ever do in my life.
and then on top of that, bc I have 2 fucking jobs and 18 fucking credit hours, I don't have the time to find a research project, I'm barely scraping by as it is. so when you are going out every other night, have a research project, and can take only 13 hours. please remember if because you're in a fortunate enough position to not have to worry about how you are paying for college
sorry for ranting so much, this shit has been on my mind the past few days and I needed a release, esp with finals around the corner
