literally why do I have to pay 50-85 dollars per college application just for them to reject me 3 months later

How about student loans?

I've said it before but conservatives really have no concept of cost vs price. It costs $2 to produce one vial of insulin, Pfizer charges you $1000, and conservatives will confidently tell you it would cost the average taxpayer $2000 under universal healthcare. You are the easiest mark in the world. Why are you price gouging yourself?

My first time watching Glass Onion it was obvious that Miles' speeches were bullshit, but I still searched for any hidden meaning there might be.
The second time is a different experience though because every time my brain starts to search for meaning, I feel like Benoit Blanc discovering that no, there is absolutely no hidden meaning.
It's bullshit it's all nothing nothing nothing! It is just how you end up talking when everyone reacts to your self-aggrandizing word vomit like it is actually wisdom.
Also, legit, when Miles gave his stupid bullshit speech about what the word 'disruptor' means to him, I shit you not I was like holy shit am I back in business school right now?!
Miles must have given speeches like that at 100 business school graduations, goddamn.
Like, the motherfuckers really do sound like this. We didn't have any billionaires come, but we had a lot of millionaire guest speakers in my classes, and they fucking talk like that.
They all think they're rugged capitalists, but they're just glass onions!

I FINALLY QUALIFY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS
My initial student loan was $54,935.92.
I paid over $30,887.83*
My loan is currently at $51,756.93.
I thought I had made all 120 qualifying payments last year. I had to submit and resubmit the PSLF application multiple times, because it kept getting sent back because of problems with how my employers signed the form. It turned out some of the payments didn't qualify, so I had to stick with helljob for at least another year.
I definitely had made 120 qualifying payments this year, so I sent the application in December 2023.
Just got notified now that I have made all qualifying payments. I've made three extra payments, even.
"After we receive the approval, it may take up to 90 business days to process this information."
Three more months of helljob, because I still don't trust this is going to go through and I don't want to quit until I know my loans are gone. I do not have anything lined up after helljob, and I'm terrified of losing my helljob health insurance because I got medical complications. But I hate helljob. I hate helljob so much and my first emotion waking every workday is despair.
At least the loan payments have been paused until the reimbursement is processed. Theoretically I should get reimbursed for the extra payments, too.
* This was only my qualifying payments. The total amount I paid was higher. The website isn't showing me the non-qualifying payments and I have to submit a formal request to get my full payment history. I submitted the request, but it will take a few days to be sent to me.

UGH what is it with the wannabe sugar daddies that reply to posts talking about money. Me saying I don't want to pay something doesn't mean I can't. Leave me alone.

Signal Boost: there's a scam happening. No one should be calling you and asking for any information, especially not banking information, in regards to your student loans.

Joe Biden gave millions of young borrowers false hope leading up to the 2022 midterms.
A reporter called him out for his cruel lies.
“Why did you give millions of borrowers false hope?” a reporter asked Joe Biden. “You doubted your own authority in the past.”
Biden snapped at the reporter.
“I didn’t give any false hope! But the Republicans snatched away the hope that they were given…and it’s real, real hope!” Biden said.
Always the victim and it's always someone else's fault 🤡

Anyone excited about Biden vetoing the student debt bill in the US needs to keep in mind that senators Manchin, Tester, and Sienna voted with Republicans to keep the awful, awful system going without even the crumbs we were promised!

i don’t think i’ve seen any fake links but if you see a tumblr post with a link to the student loan forgiveness form which can often ask for your full name, address, and social security number, PLEASE be careful and make sure the link is to the correct website because this kind of thing is a very common phishing scam! do not get your identity stolen on tumblr!!!
