FUCK YOU COLLEGE STUDENT

Here’s the Truth (and I barely ever go off on someone’s life): 

I am a college senior about to graduate with about 30,000 dollars in debt.

I pay for most of my living expenses (my mother so kindly pays for my rent) by working 15 hours a week (because I can’t get another job and my boss doesn’t have more hours for me)

I chose a moderately priced, in-state public university and started saving money when I was sixteen (and just spent it all on my last overdue tuition bill)

I got FABULOUS grades in high school and got two scholarships, which only covered my first year of college. 

I have a 3.something. Too busy to check it

I live comfortable in a cheap apartment and know I can’t have everything I want. I don’t eat out every day or even once a month. I have no credit card, new car, iPad, or smartphone—and I’m perfectly okay with that.

Since I have debt, I can place my blame where I see fit. And no, I didn’t make a bad decision because all the debt is due to college. Debt has started to become a rite of passage and most people are too busy paying off college to enjoy it or do their best.

I live below my means and CAN’T save for the future because I’m spending every single extra cent on my tuition and bills. 

I don’t expect anything to be handed to me and I will continue to work my ass off for everything I have. 

But this is not how it’s supposed to work. I’m 22 with thousands of dollars of debt in only 3 years (because I did go to community college there)

I am part of the 99% and it was NOT my decision.
