odysseus: i have a bad feeling about this.
achilles: what do you mean?
odysseus: don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if something will get you into trouble?
achilles: do you mean patroclus?
odysseus: that actually explains a lot
2¢ on #DemDabate: #Buttigieg and #Gillibrand came off very strong; #Harris was solid; #Bernie had a good message but disappointing delivery; #Biden did as well as could be expected; #Yang will be an interesting one to watch going forward; what the f*ck was #Williamson on about?
I’m incredibly lucky to go to @AmherstCollege, one of 10 US colleges that meet all demonstrated need, so I’ll leave only ~$12,000 in debt. I stand in solidarity with students at all the other schools who don’t have that luxury. Education should be about ability to learn, not pay.
Nearly half of all college students are going hungry and the average college senior takes on $30,000 in debt.
But let's go beyond statistics. Share your personal story in a video or tweet, with the hashtag #CollegeForAll. And tell me what we should be doing to fix this crisis.
Friend: I don’t mind companies using my data for targeted advertising and stuff, but the government... I like that less.
Me: Both are pretty scary.
Friend: But at least companies can’t go all dystopian and start arresting people with anti-government opinions.
Me: Are you sure?
Just had my last final this morning. Which means I’m done with my first semester of college. Which means I’m 1/8 of the way through college. That’s weird to even say.
