I'm so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.

Y'know what? I don't think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we've normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.

Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can't do both school and work. Guess it's poverty for you, buddy.

    The one mental trick that kept me going was believing, alternating from one belief to another, that work was a break from school and school was a break from work.

    A lesson in how doublethink is so prevalent as a coping strategy, I guess

    I hope you've recovered at least physically from all that

      I'm in much better health now. I'm not getting any younger, but my 20s had so much stress that in a lot of ways I feel better now than I did then, in my 40s. sweat
