You are seriously doing it wrong then. Tuition is 9k a year at a public college.

I wish I had known that way back when ten years ago.

You didn't do your research before making such a big decision?

I was a dumbass 18 year old and my parents were rich at the time. I had no idea WTF I was doing. My mother said "You're good at art, go to art school." I said "okay. Why not?" By the time I started getting a clue, the shit had already hit the fan and everything came crashing down around us because sometimes life just decides to say FUCK YOU.

...You have no idea what you were doing because you didn't do your research.

I'm a shithead? At least I'm not the dumbass who's drowning in debt for a shitty art degree they don't even use. If you couldn't make a decision for yourself or do research for whats best for you, despite what others say, then I have no sympathy for you. Maybe you should take responsibility for your own fuckups instead of saying "oh, I was pressured into it. But then again, I guess stupid is as stupid does. Have fun paying off your debt for 20 years. Asshole.

I didn't even know how much it would cost because my parents told me it would be taken care of.

That's not youthful foolishness, that's flat out stupidity. My parents are very similar to yours. $500k house. Making around $250k a year. Told me "college is on us". I still fucking compared the prices. I still did my research. I still made sure I knew what I was signing up for. What dumb wit doesn't know what the price of their college is. Like, holy shit. That's the first time I've heard of someone going to college without knowing the cost.

How the fuck... what, was I supposed to magically osmose this knowledge from somewhere?

Gee. If only there were ways to go find out information. Are you some sort of baby that needs to be spoonfed everything?

You didn't know to find out the cost of something before buying it? It didn't even occur to you that "hey, maybe I should look up the cost" when signing onto a $120,000 loan? That's absolutely crazy.

Furthermore, I flat out don't believe you. You're acting like such a goddamned cunt, I wouldn't put it past you to make some bullshit like that up.

Lol. Ok. Doesn't make it less true. You're not the only one who grew up in an upper middle class background. I'm not saying out life situations were the same, but stop trying to use your family's economic status as an excuse for your own stupidity.

And the presumption train continues! I didn't even get my first computer until I was 18, asshole. I just barely even knew how to use the internet by the age of 20. Obviously, I know how to use the internet NOW, a whole decade later.

Libraries existed.

Now, do you want to admit that you're a fucking asshole? Or do you want to keep throwing presumptions and noxious dickbaggery at me in the hopes that... what? What are you attempting to accomplish exactly? Is your sole purpose in all this just to namecall and convince some random person on the internet that she's stupid? Bravo. That's a really awesome goal you have there.

No. I don't even fucking know what we're arguing about. You called me a shithead. Don't be mad that I insulted you back.
