College for a better future


Why is it so expensive?

I've even thougth about killing myself!...life sucks

We're not all privledged like those rich fucks!

It would be cheaper to be dead. It's better than this.

But I want an education so I don't feel like a useless piece of shit.

College shoud make you find yourself, not break you.

But it's hard to pursue your dream when you don't even have enough money for food.

Why do they want to make money of of our poor souls?

They tell us, "Work hard, go to college and you will have a better life."

But we work and work hard, just to find out we're going to college...

To pay for college...
