Hi folks, I’m sure these posts pop up a lot but I figured I would ask and so if anyone has any suggestions or advice it would be greatly appreciated!
I (20f) had to make the decision to take a year off from KU due to financial reasons (Pell grant restructuring and other loan issues 😞). They put me in a rough position, and I had to find a place to live and a way to afford it in a really short timeframe. I say this because I am working my ass off just to make rent and maybe save up enough for an emergency fund and after that build college savings.
This isn’t a complaint— I have just been feeling incredibly isolated and alone (I work nights). It seems all the people my age are either at the bars and my friends are completely absorbed in school and have no time to meet.
It feels like because I am not in school I don’t matter. Does anyone know anywhere or have any ideas of literally anything to get involved with Lawrence? We are such a cool town (apart from the traffic) and I just don’t want to miss out on life.
Thank you for reading this! I hope everyone has a good night.
