hey has anyone tried to buy a covid test lately. because i just had to buy one for a friend at my local walgreens and the cashier very seriously asked me if i was sure i wanted it because. a 2-pack of tests currently costs $23.99. do we not think that it's a little insane that the only reliable diagnostic tool for a very much ongoing pandemic costs over $20 for a single package. what if I didn't have that kind of money to burn??? Especially if you're already facing potentially losing at least a weeks worth of pay if you DO test positive and can't work. How many people are going to see that price point and decide they can't justify the expense??? literally insane. remember that brief moment of sanity this country had when we all got these for free
#genuinely the most upsetting moment ive had in recent memory. 'are you sure you want this. it's 23.99' about a COVID TEST#personal#also worth noting that i live on a college campus and my health center is SUPPOSED to provide these to us for free.#i had to go out and get this test for my friend because the health center would not return our calls.#both of us are in significant student debt due to the tuition we pay for this school. and now i have to buy a fucking $24 covid test#because the health center won't fucking pick up the phone.#i am so pissed off right now man i dont even know what to say

Right. So I'm fucking off
#talking to myself#i'll stay here for long enough to get my americorps education money#and then i will be going to grad school in the cheapest european college possible#actually turns out if my mom stops slacking on my citizenship paperwork...#i could go to school in sweden or germany tuition free...

how the fuck does anyone afford anything. please let me know. i haven't gotten my hair cut in two years. i've never paid to get my nails done. i rarely ever buy alcohol. i haven't eaten out this summer. it's those god damn student loans i fear
#and piss poor wages#i fear#god anybody else suffering#i also need to take my cat to the vet#she is okay. she just cannot really handle dry food that well. only wet food#like she really only vomits when my mom gives her dry food treats#now that she's on a wet food diet#but it's still something worth checking out#but ugh it sucks i hate spending money#the thing about this economy and being a college student in a for profit system#is that there is no winning#can't afford any sort of car when my 2002 kicks the bucket#i'm in massive amounts of student loan debt#and i still have tuition to pay off this semester and next semester#as well as licensing exams that are hundreds of dollars#there is not much winning in life#but at least this semester im living with a friend and getting free housing#considering my uni ripped me off by essentially doubling the price of apartments that were cheaply built in the 60s and never renovated#and poorly maintained#and very moldy#we should all abuse the system#kaya rambles#as they abuse us

I've started listening to an Anthony Bourdain audiobook at work and it's making me yearn for the kitchen
#Don't get me wrong I like my new job and from a practical standpoint it's definitely better than restaurant work#Like the pay and hours and more stable and it comes with benefits like medical/dental insurance and free college tuition#But I miss finishing a night shift and then getting high and going to Waffle House with the other closers at 4am#My new job is fine but there's nobody to talk to because the other janitors are off cleaning other buildings#and the people working in the building I clean are polite enough to say hello and make small talk but I harbor no illusions#that these college professors want to talk to a janitor and even if they did I'm only in their offices for like 30 seconds tops#Meanwhile working completely in sync in such close proximity with half a dozen other 20-something townies forges lifelong friendships

i hate being stressed about like. things that are actually stressful. normally i could be like "all is well 😌it will be ok no matter what" or whatever but i genuinely cant do that here. if i dont get this sorted out im genuinely fucked
#i dont know how much ive said here but im going to try and be as vague as possible so i dont like. accidentally dox myself or w/e#but anyways i got a VERY GOOD tuition scholarship outside of my college. i go to one of the cheaper schools in the area i go to school in#so it covers all of it#awesome right?#SHOULD BE. if my college didnt fucking DELETE the form somehow. fucking hello.#the scholarship emailed them. and then they DELETED IT.#and ON TOP OF THAT!#i had extra bullshit fees unpaid i had no idea about.#so i was almost not even cleared for move in.#that got fixed. but now i have to call fifty billion people and fix this problem#so i can. go to school and not go into debt#plus. ok. the scholarships i get from school are genuinely pretty good. but they split it up b/w room and board and tuition#so i need to see if they can move stuff around somehow bc i shouldnt need the tuition money anymore#and between that money from school. the other scholarships i get from school. the outside scholarships i have.#AND THE ONE THAT WOULD COVER MY TUITION.#i could go to school for basically free and not go into insane debt.#which is awesome. but if i cant get this one thing figured out! i cant!#and i move in IN TWO WEEKS. SO I HAVE NOT THAT LONG TO FIX THIS. YAYY#anyways fucking wish me luck im going to be calling a lot of people tomorrow. and next week.#thank u for the complaining sesh tumblr dot com blog that is my diary.#it should be ok it should work out but jesus christ its going to be bad if it doesnt.#personal

im so normal about my fav cousin getting deployed to the frontlines
#moth.txt#im so upset at the fact that she was like caught in the whole scheme#where the national guard comes to the school and ks like#‘guysssss :D u want free tuition? easy peasy? just join up!’#and she was like yeah thats great#and she has gotten into college and has classes lined up for the fall#and was like ready to move onto the next part of her life when her wife comes home#(shes also in the army)#and then#she gets chosen for deployment to kuwait for 14 months#and its like shes gonna be a front lines battle medic#because she was gonna go into nursing#and oh my god this pisses me off so bad that like.#im just so upset at the military industrial complex

so much fun that photoshop makes my laptop crash completely so i have to open my school virtual desktop to access photoshop through that. and then my laptop is fine. kills me lol
#i didnt even realize i had photoshop through my uni but i do! and i will make the most of it right now lol#at the community college i went to i had to pay for it myself….. but here it’s free. i guess that’s what paying 4x in tuition gets you 😭

they have got to stop putting americans in japanese shows seriously. like whatever i dont care that its a collaborative project its boring idc about white woman romantic lead! why are they talking about america and how much 'freedom justice democracy' it has hello? i guess the target audience of this show is different but it doesnt even matter bc the guy (japanese) just came back from college in the us so why would he be talking about the american dream like someone viewing it through a distant lens? he was THERE dude he doesnt need you (white woman) to explain how expensive college tuition and medical bills are...
#hes like man america is so great and free and held accountable unlike japan while she defends japan etc#i get the purpose of the conversation but it could have been done better like even if theyd just been commiserating about smth first#like oh doesnt college tuition suck. but hey at least you guys get all those political liberties we dont! or whatever yknow#smth more grounded

For those of you just joining us, here are 21 things colleges and universities could do for students, but don't.
Provide FREE TUITION for ALL students.
Cut the salaries of boards of directors, presidents, vice presidents, provosts, vice provosts, and all executive officers. Use the savings for FREE TUITION.
Provide FREE TEXTBOOKS.
Provide FREE HEALTHCARE instead of making uninsured students pay extra.
ALWAYS PAY students for internship work.
PAY FACULTY A FAIR WAGE regardless of rank or status.
Hire faculty and administration that reflects the general population (queer faculty, faculty of color, and femme/female faculty).
Take out and pay loans to cover expenses SO STUDENTS DON'T HAVE TO.
Ground curricula in employable skills.
Let disabled people get accommodations without providing medical documentation.
Provide ANY AND ALL MEDICALLY NECESSARY accommodations, NOT just "reasonable" accommodations.
Always schedule evening and weekend class times to support working students.
Allow work experience to count for college credit.
Provide reimbursement for lost income if the scheduling of a required course makes a student miss work.
Require or incentivize instructors to use trauma-informed teaching techniques.
Require or incentivize instructors to follow accessibility principles in their course materials.
Offer equal numbers of in-person/synchronous and asynchronous sections of courses to support working students.
Make sure instructors of online classes give students appropriate face-time and sufficiently prepare course materials.
Do NOT give students who failed to register in the previous term last pick in registration.
Streamline gen ed requirements / degree prerequisites so students can get degrees faster.
Require all departments publish their course schedules far in advance of registration.
