Yet, rents for my area for 2 adults are grossly underestimated. Unless those two adults are super thrifty, super lucky college students, $844/month is not gonna cover rent, much less utilities... I share a nice place with my partner, away from campus, and at $1260 it's a steal, when places 1/3rd the size are $1030…

My stupid no-bleed-all-the-time pills cost SIXTY FREAKING DOLLARS PER MONTH.

I don't confuse anyone for a wholesome domestic type - I made sure to put skulls on my last strawberry jam label so's to avoid any confusion

That museum has the BEST food. On my list any time I can get to town. I like looking at things from my heritage, but my family isn't nice, so I don't know any particulars...and am way too white bread to poke that beehive.

Sometimes, even mothers are horrible people. It happens. Sometimes, it's not even their fault.

Me and my DDs! You need to get a better therapist/clinic, one that will actually use the half rolls, towels, and headrests to accommodate your body. When I go, they fiddle the head rest up, put a bolster under my ankles, and everything seems to lay fine. Occasionally I will reach up myself while lying on the table and…

Public access is fantastic, and I'm surprised there's no nonprofit in the US that's "trickling down" older computers, etc, for low income or older students. Yet often even public universities require some sort of association to use the equipment there, and you are competing with paying students who are entitled to…

You assume "free/low cost resources online" and "the rise of tech" are not still a privilege of the rich. Poor people can't afford computers and internet, not without that whole crushing debt thing they're trying to avoid in the first place. I have first hand experience, from being unable to complete school projects,…

The kind where they call you a kitchen 'helper' and pretend it's normal. I never questioned the experience until now, but that's the sort of thing that happens to poor kids. If you're ashamed to be poor, you'll be pretty cooperative about most things.

I remember having to do that as a kid. Get put back in the kitchen of the cafeteria to rinse trays, throw them and silverware in these giant plastic dish crates, shove down the handle on the gazillion degree steamer/cleaner door, wait til it dings, push out the hot crate with another crate, repeat. That was elementary…

Hi. I was almost a Rhodes Scholar. Came *this* close in high school. I can guarantee you, if I hadn't been hungry, poor, and working by 14 to buy clothes that wouldn't hurt when I sat down, I could have focused more on school and done better with my grades. As it is, I had the highest ACT scores in my class, and we…
