I remember feeling, for the first time in my life, that I was unintelligent and incompetent. I was also heavily fatigued from the excessive hours of studying, which I felt were necessary to reconcile the problem. I managed to

  • Argumentative Essay On Life After College

    395 Words  | 1 Pages

    Last Thursday’s class was a reminder that poverty can be a constant cycle. One specific example was about “day of” lenders, who provide money up front with extremely high interest rates knowing the debtor could potentially be unable to repay their debts. In this case penalty charges can keep increasing the amount of money one owes and simultaneously start to dig a deeper and deeper hole. This example felt all too real, because as a student it almost seems impossible to start off life after college without having to take out some type of loan(s). It could be money for a vehicle all the way to buying a home, but either way you need to be able to pay off your debt by finding a job(s) with a wage that can. I hope to never find myself in a
