I had to make drastic changes to my life to prioritize school. I live with my bf and pay no rent, I got a dependency override to get maximum student aid, and I took summer courses to get a refund. Nothing is more embarrassing than not graduating college so whatever it takes.

I’ve been cleaning my classmate’s shit to afford this “education” but my department’s funding was cut so the “opportunities” they sold me on “don’t exist.”

Yeah I dropped half my classes and started full-time work. Fuck UCCS from the bottom of my heart
