Student Life at 30 (almost)
One of the hardest parts of being a student for your entire twenties is the way that you seem to stand still while everyone else around you rockets into the financial stratosphere.
You are doomed to living in a crappy apartment and never going on vacation. And then you are forever going to house warming parties for your friends buying infills in trendy neighbourhoods or hearing about their trips to fucking Machu Picchu and absolutely straining to feel excited about it.
This is not their fault, these people aspiring to be yuppies. I’m just saying that it’s not that much fun living with so much bitterness and fear about the future. And what can be worse is when these people tell you how worthwhile it will all be in the end. Nobody is convinced of this.
I prefer the honest response – when people say things like “you get paid how much to teach a class? Wow! Brutal!” At least they try to identify with the pain of it all.
