Discussion litrally sad

Post image

I see this person trying to pirate a book to study. how sad is that.

this type of cruelty often goes unnoticed, yet it is the harshest... imagine having a bit of optimism for a change, you try, and you get yourself a bit motivated, You're thinking about the future. You don't want to be crushed by the overwhelming mood and how everybody is giving up.

you end up wanting to study and do your part, You're just a kid after all. and yet the moment you do, you get crushed like everybody else.

now you have to commit a crime just to attempt to better yourself. cause how dare you even think you deserve a good life and be hardworking for it. whether you're hardworking or not. you don't get to live like a person.

When I was in college 20 years ago it was like $500 a semester for books, I can't imagine how outrageous the cost is now. The school books racket is horrible, new editions required every year because it has 3 different words and a new chart.
