Listen buddy, I supported myself through school, working 40 hours a week and going to school 3/4 time and sure, it took a little over 5 years but what the hell? I didn't want to be in debt to anyone. And besides, my tuition was higher than yours at OSU. I had plenty of crappy jobs, and I couldn't afford luxuries like a fancy fucking car, but christ almight, get a grip kid. a jeep? they're deathtraps. I don't blame your parents. now get a goddamn job and stop leeching off the rest of us. There are a LOT of people out there who need the money more than you do - homeless people, mothers and kids on welfare, the disabled - and I'm far more inclined to give my money to those who need it than some whiny kid.
