I have lots of ideas and passions of things I want to do and only one of them really requires college. Sticking with it has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am sticking with it because I have been given the opportunity to go to college and I will succeed. I won't throw away this gift.
That being said, I wish formal education allowed for the following of passions. I have no opportunity to enjoy my passions because of the restrictions of society. I would love to sew and create in my free time. I would love to volunteer again. That's all I want. The problem is that studying is a full time job. In addition, I've got to work to survive. I have no financial support from my family; which is fine but the system is created on daddy footing the bill.
The privilege of education doesn't allow me to enjoy it. I'm choosing majors I can get it over with rather than what I love because that's less on the student loans. My university is racked with clubs, organizations, events, and opportunities but I can't enjoy a single one because if I'm not in class, I'm bussing, or I'm working. I hate it. The biggest contributor is rent and utilities and I live in a cheaper building. I'm astounded by how we are charged to live.
I'd like to act on my passions and I'm looking forward to this winter to start sewing again and looking up 'zines. I will succeed and I will thrive. Not only that; I will be an avenue and advocate for change because if I'm struggling there are those who are working even harder and getting even less.
