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.

    Yeah I was gonna say it's ableist af. Got ADHD and really struggle to keep up with and coordinate all those things? Dyslexia, so you need at least twice the amount of time to do the reading and writing? Autism, so the college environment is often overstimulating and lacking in accommodations? Well I guess the plan is for those people to go fuck themselves, but at least be honest that that is the plan.

      Yeah have OCD and I can't work more than 10 hours a week on top of studies. I tried and I had a massive meltdown. I ended up having to take out loans because not doing so wasn't an option for me.

      As someone with Autism, university life fucked me up badly. Trust me when I say you do not want to experience an autistic burnout.

      I was someone who was consistently at the top of their class in High school and College, even reaching the top 1% in my country's grades for a subject related to my special interest.

      But with Uni... I could write a novel describing everything that went wrong. I was essentially forced to drop out by the third semester, and it cost me a fuckton in student loan debts with nothing to show for it.
