    More power to her. She’s got a much better game plan at 20 than I did, and it’s awesome to see younger people can do it. I definitely couldn’t and left NYC despite growing up there specifically because it wasn’t sustainable

    I had about the same plans. Struggling with my current degree and thinking of going back to university. I'm also a firefighter working two 24 hour shifts, and uni only wants you to be there 12 hours a week. Should be easy!

    I’m glad ur not doing a STEM major or you’ll have less time to do shit becuz they’re pretty f$&@ing brutal unless god decided to be nice and give u a high IQ. They’re almost like another full time job.

    1.800 bucks for rent is already a heavy sum but as a student? Fuck me, I‘m glad I studied 15 years ago 🫣

    Just get a roommate to split it with, go on a budget, and it's doable.
