<p>don’t go.</p>
<p>i got b’s in plenty of classes by dumping the semesters worth of hw on my professors in installments and hardly showing up outside of midterms and finals. this semester i have a professor that takes a letter grade off for every 5 absences and is all no nonsense in his demeanor, not friendly or warm like my other teachers, so i don’t really have a choice. but when i did, i made that choice not to go, and things turned out pretty okay.</p>
<p>the things i’m reading about your parents makes me really sad, that on top of how enervating the commute sounds makes me think, no, don’t go, don’t go at any cost, find a way to succeed without going. i mean, chores? CHORES? 2 hours worth? my mom can’t get me to do fifteen minutes worth of those. i’m coming from a privileged perspective too but jesus everyone deserves the privilege not to do <em>hours</em> of chores during the week. that’s completely insane. and then you’re paying for college on your own, and you didn’t qualify for aid because your parents make too much but not enough to help you out? that’s additional insanity. is it loans that you’re using (that’s what i did, federal loans has covered most of my college expenses but my mom helped me out when it didn’t quite reach) or do you have a job. we need to move you to a warmer climate. and get someone to help you pay for college. do you have any good friends?</p>
