Degree in Debt
"If you work really hard in school, you'll be able to get yourself into a good University and then that will be you set up for life..." or some variation of this classic spiel is what most teenagers hear all over the world. Tertiary education always seems to be held to such a high standard all over the world. In movies it is always depicted as a privilege of the rich kids while the working class typically go in to a blue collar job. This depiction may be slightly more accurate in places such as the United States due to college being so expensive and the government not doing much to help people to gain a college level education. In my home country, however, undergraduate degree tuition is covered by the government, so it is a lot more accessible to everyone regardless of their backgrounds. What I like about this is that it allows people to gain a place at their top choice Uni through hard work and their own intelligence rather than how many zeroes are on the pay cheque handed over by their parents. It allows anyone to have that window of opportunity opened for them. Or so we all thought. As a final year undergraduate student, I can tell you that a degree holds not a lot of opportunity any more.

We Broke Up...
It's over. How do you even begin to wrap your head around that? Regardless of the length of a relationship, having it end is so raw and sad and relieving and terrifying all at once. You always see in the movies break ups being depicted in a certain way; the dumped is always sad and eating ice cream out of a tub whereas the dumper is usually unfazed by the new development in their life and seemingly continues on with their days without any care. But that is not true. Break ups do not always have a clear, black and white victim and villain.
