Its frustrating that you have to have a BC loan in order to be eligible for a bursary from the university. Frustrating that until 48 months (4 years) following high school graduation, you are still considered a dependent. Ridiculous that even if you are not receiving financial assistance from parents/guardians who are unwilling to cosign/fill out their portion of your loan applications- that you are *still* unable to apply for a university bursary.

Ridiculous that people can demand that you have 2 years of experience in a field and still only offer to pay you minimum wage. That employers can expect you to make a living, paying rent, the bills, and even tuition on 8 or 9 bucks an hour.

Sad that I've considered selling my body out of desperation

Discouraging that I'm doing everything I can and am getting no where. Discouraging to see your friends travel, eat real food and home cooked meals, take classes and graduate, and live life while you can't even afford groceries. Discouraging to know that as hard as you try to save up, its not enough. Discouraging to know that your father doesn't give a fuck.

Irritating that my only option it seems is to sell my belongings- my memories. While I might be more than willing to sell my car, I must *first* import it. I don't have money for insurance and my license has expired so I cannot drive it. I'm unsure of whether or not I even still have a copy of the title.

Disheartening that even after applying for scholarships when my grades are too low, applying for job after job without any call backs, knowing I'm ineligible for loans- that I continually try and continually fail. Disheartening that I don't know what to do with my life, what I want to major in, what I want to do with my degree or why the hell I'm even wasting time and money in university when maybe I don't belong here.

What have I even been fighting for?
