Scholarly Vagrants


How do we become adults; when we can’t afford to eat, drive to work, or even live because our schools have drained the accounts? Spent eight years trying to prove ourselves only to find out we can’t provide enough zeros at the end of checks we slaved away making. So we become middle class beggars standing on the corners of websites to suffer for handouts that may grant us a chance at life. How do we become adults.
