Yeah, this is an incredibly frustrating time to live in this country. The politics here are schoolyard nonsense. Healthcare and education are largely fucked, both being run like/by corporations.
I live in Chicago, am a full-time student, and am taking out completely insane loans to finance it (both government and private). I work part-time at an auto parts store to pay the bills (although I'm currently living rent-free with a family member). Chicago is a great area, culturally, though. Lots of amazing art galleries, music venues, theaters, parks, restaurants, etc. I wouldn't say I'm comfortable, financially, but I can at least enjoy myself sometimes. The future makes me very, very nervous, with the loans and going into the film industry, but we'll see. To at least have the opportunity to go to school for something I enjoy, outrageous cost notwithstanding, is a privilege nonetheless. I'm not exactly sure what point I'm making, haha.
