#accommodation rent

[writhe]

i have an intake with a therapist!

#stressing about communicating that i think i really really need the support but that $$ is a huge massive barrier #like i haven’t been able to save money for 2 years now #i don’t feel able to take on a sizable or even moderate monthly bill #and my rent (unless i find different accommodations which is hard but i’m thinking of considering it) will likely increase after next month #in additional i need to actually go to the do it this year aside i have gone once since 2021 #*go to the doctor

I was talking to some online friends (from different countries as one does) and at some point we were talking about our universities. One of them (French) said how his apprenticeship is paying his tuition fees and how cool that is, while the other one (studies in the UK, not from there) just had to experience all the fees normally. I said "Oh how nice it is that university here (Greece) is completely free of charge, no fees" but then I remembered the reality of the government i live in "would be a shame if, I don't know, our government was trying to actively undermine this fact and ruin everything!" sarcastically of course, because while our public education is pretty great (it could be better) there has been an active effort by the government to erode anything good about it.

Later on I was talking about an assignment I had to do (I was mostly complaining in a funny way about how incompetent my partner was and how I had to pick up all the slack) (bear with me I am going somewhere with this)

"Now on Monday I have to to a presentation on the app I made, and then do a live demo in front of the class. To be fair.... To be fair to be fair I did have like one day to properly debug the code but in all honesty I had been working on it for 3 weeks non stop and I was quite exhausted. Is it unfair of me to at least HOPE my partner, who did nothing mind you, tested the app himself to find any bugs? Anyways I am fixing them after the fact and while the code I submitted is buggy, the code I will be presenting will be bug free. I mean there is no way the teacher will know, there are 50 submissions at least, and there is no way for her to go through every single application and test them all and see for herself that there is a mismatch on what I presented and what I submitted. It is literally impossible for a single person to do that"

And then I paused and I thought "they must find it weird that there is no assistant for this professor to help her go through all the assignments". Because it is weird. It is basically this constant undermining of public education. Professors are severely underpaid, and put to teach classes with 100+ students and they are lucky if they have an unpaid assistant in the form of an unlucky soul doing a PhD with them. My department specifically has way too few professors and like last year 2 of them died and there have been no replacements. Professors having to come to class sick because what else can they do, tired and clearly unhappy with having to teach to 100+ just as unhappy students. And it is not like the quality of our education is bad. We are literally taught the same shit as in MIT. The quality of our education is on par with the highest rated universities in the world. Only difference is that we are severely underfunded and the government constantly neglects to provide us with essentials. Not because "there is no money". There is. There is plenty of money. It is just that time and time again they have shown that they do not care. In fact I am pretty sure they would be happy if public education crumbled under the pressure it is being put under. Uneducated people make for more obedient laborers.

Good and free education is possible and don't let anyone convince you otherwise, fight for it. There are a lot of foreign countries that have benefited from the scientists raised in this very system.

#texterna #you can argue about how despite tuition being free of charge poorer people are still barred from participating fully due to rent fees-bills #which yeah I completely agree the system is not fully fair #underprivileged people are still not accommodated for but the solution isn't to stop having free public education #anyways i had to get this off my chest

[senselesssims]

Yeah definitely not feeling the landlord aspect of the new pack so if possible I will not be using that 😒

But the multi family lots I'm absolutely here for! 😏

#as someone whos lived in rented accommodation their whole life and almost lost the roof over their head a few times... #yeah nah #i make my game a utopia to be the opposite of the real world thanks #all my sims have money and great housing and its gonna stay that way 😊

[tkmk]

actually heard someone use the term "cottagecore" out loud, in person, today lads.

#some undergrads in a queue discussing how they would decorate their house that they will own when they are in their 30s #meanwhile i am 32 stood in the queue with a plate a bowl and a toilet brush for my newly rented accommodation

kindof losing my mind bc uhhhh. how am i supposed to like. afford to live.

#i am going to whisper in the tags bc i feel odd about YELLING my bs into the void #i do not have a job yet largely due to physical and mental disabilities #but when i DO start searching for one its like. 90% of online job listings out there are ghost listings #basically none of them hire disabled people and i have disabilities that REQUIRE accommodations #my job search is significantly narrower bc of my disabilities theres a ton of shit i just straight up cannot do #and they all pay about 1 ball of lint & two quarters. #i live in california which thankfully is (relatively) safe for me to transition #but its also. California. which is. Expensive. to live in. #and i have medications i NEED to be a functioning person monthly #on top of taking T at some point #so like ummmmm. chat am i fucked!!!!!!!!! #i could leave california but where do i even go thatd be safe for me AND affordable #its just so hard to get motivated to be independent right now when like. im 18 years old and i can barely walk anymore #im grieving my physical ability at 18 years old #i should be doing that at 70 #and everything costs So Much theres no fucking shot i find anywhere in california i could afford IF i can even FIND a fucking JOB I CAN DO #unless i wanna live with my mom forever (who is constantly wearing on my mental health and i DESPERATELY need some distance from) #or live in a literal closet for $2000 a month #what if i have to sacrifice my meds to pay rent i literally am not a functioning human without them so i 100% could not work while off them #idk shit looks so fucking bleak for everyone right now but being disabled makes it a hell of a lot worse #i used to be excited about being independent now i just kindof dread it. or it seems more like a pipe dream #i dont wanna live with my mom til im 25 yall #and transitioning is expensive. and my mom is not going to cover my medical bills lmfaoooo #and idk whats going on with my physical ability so im probably going to have to pay for more doctors appointments #and tests and TESTS AND TESTS #for possibly years #til they figure out what the fuck's wrong #just not excited to live in poverty bc i am a young person in america and basically every young person in america is living in poverty atm #and also not excited to live in a world where i walk with a cane at 18 #zep.txt

not my White Ass making yet another Major Life Decision 😂😂😂

#i have decided that instead of staying in this shithole and searching for other jobs then eventually moving out #i am going to move out at the end of the month & go back to south carolina so i can live with my 2 hounds rent-free #because it’s like. at the end of the day. even if i got a better job and a better apartment #i would still be spending SO much of my income on rent #and there are WFH customer service jobs that pay better than target did #and $20 an hour is better than $17.25 an hour if you pay $1425 a month in rent #BUT it’s even better if you pay $0 a month in rent #AND this way i could afford to travel. i could probably spend a week in la every month & even with the cost of travel + accommodations #it would STILL be cheaper than rent #AND i wouldn’t necessarily even have to take time off work to do it #and it wouldn’t have to even be la. i could go anywhere #and i can see my two beautiful hound girls WAY more than once per year no matter what

i am officially off my "gotta stick around with the hope of seeing taylor live" bullshit

#(this is not good news) #negative cw #suicide cw #i am now on my 'gotta stick around cause my roommates cant afford rent without me' shit #im not gonna get to see taylor realistically #i will get in line for presale and i will wait but i dont believe I'll get tickets #and even if i do the only shows anywhere near me are in another country #flights alone would cost more than my weekly salary and accommodation would be impossible #and since the person I'd go with works fridays and i work sundays I'd have to go into work with barely any sleep #bc we could only do the saturday night #so I'd either be late for work or arrive in the country and go straight there #bc i refuse to ask him to take a day off so we could see friday and I'd still be too early in employment to take time off #it just feels like god is shutting down anything that keeps me going #I just. i want. to feel alive #and to feel like theres a. reason

[espooky]

I am sat in my own little brand new room payed for with my own little rent from my own little job eating my own little chinese food and for the first time in my life I'm not beholden to anyone or under any institution or anyone elses time and routine in a continent entirely away from my whole past

#like #look my whole life i lived with family and then student accommodation and then nannying in other people houses and then couch surfing or #picking up a friends lease while they were away and finaly like im here now #and no borrowing money required its all my own under my own steam and work and like...... #and i know im unbelievably lucky to find a room in a rent controlled apartment in brooklyn which i can actually afford on my pay #no i dont have a matress tonight and no i dont need one

[adamshallperish]

me, who works night shifts: hey, could you maybe not do this loud activity while i'm trying to sleep? it can be hard for me to get to rest because the blinds don't do shit.

my roommate, currently unemployed: it feels like i have to accommodate you so much recently

#i'm considering murder #yes you did have to accommodate me! we talked about this when i got the job #also i'm paying your fucking part of the rent and groceries this month don't bitch to me about having needs so i can keep a job #something you clearly have a great track record with #sorry this is a bitchy i'm just frustrated #mine #rant

[crimewrought]

do you ever hear yourself? @perdefinitio.

it's a smart response to her words—i can't hear myself in this fucking music, sev—and it's an equally unappreciated one; so much so that severin earns himself a disgruntled look over the shoulder as they ascend the beer sodden stairwell. there's some alternate version of tonight, maria thinks, somewhere in all the stupid cosmos and all its stupid infinities; one with no afternoon beers at the pub, no giddy decision to move from pubs to bars, no drunken decision to fuck the bars off and head to the clubs. then again, if there are a plethora of infinities out there to rifle through, then there are a thousand different realities able to fix her life's miserable trajectory; ones she'd choose well over rewriting tonight. maria realises, in her quickly sobering state, that's about as close as she'll come to admitting she wouldn't change much at all about an evening of them together—tomorrow's hangover be damned.

ㅤ" unlucky for me, i hear myself most of the time. and i hear you when you're yapping in my ear. that's even worse. " hardly her sharpest comeback; her wit has been blunted by both the wine and her tiredness. once they're at the top of the stairwell and out into the cold, she lodges her arm in the crook of his, leading them away from the thumping bass and the throes of drunkards. " if we've missed the last tube because you yelled at that guy, you're paying for the uber home. "

#perdefinitio #𝖛𝖎 . solitude should have wings. interactions. #alcohol mention tw / #they just. exist in my heart. they have permanent rent free accommodation in my soul. <3

I fucking hate sending emails where I'm trying to find out information because I feel like I have to be super specific with my questions in order to get what I need - and this is dependant on me knowing everything I need to ask about - only to still not be given the answers I need

#emails #ace is a mess #im stressing lads im tryna sort out rent and sht and im tryna find out about summer stay options which they havent mentioned at any point #so im enquiring if there is any and if they even do it at my current halls or only at the other halls cus if thats the case in gonna need #help moving my sht but also like how much it costs and how its paid like weekly installments or one lump sum and i specifically asked how #much rent is as hell as how and she just told me the weekly rate thats paid up front but not how much that is? she also started the email #with we dont have any currently and am trying secure more but then went on to phrase the email as if it was an option? including asking #whether or not i was still interested? like gurl i need to know if i can stay here over the summer to work to pay off my tuition and also #so i can figure out when im going home if im going home and if i need to find storage solutions instead and thats not even considering #sorting out next years accommodation im so stressed. i also had to email about the deadline for my tuition fees and they werent helpful #either unis seem to be so fcking unhelpful when it comes to giving information its giving me flashbacks to last summer which is not helping

flat hunting my absolute behaaaateeeed

#i still haven't found somewhere to live for this term even though my uni course starts in 2 weeks #but i just. hate having to message people and ads and trying to find housemates i'd kind of vibe with is so difficult #and ugh it's just extra stress i don't need #literally evil that private student accommodation costs 3 times the price for no reason too! like no i don't want to pay like £200 a week #for a private gym!! maaaaybe i just want somewhere uncomplicated to rent from someone who will actually answer when i message them #but it's so unnecessarily complicated!

[amateuraspect]

I hate hate hate hate hate that 90% of the properties for students to rent are either one room in a converted house or a studio flat

when did it become normal to only be allowed one single room as your living space

the worst thing about living in england is that somehow no one has figured out that those window screens to keep insects out would be a good idea

#so every summer i just share my bedroom with a bunch of bugs #every night i get these tiny moths in my room #there's also currently a huge moth downstairs which I'm hoping doesn't find its way up #i couldn't do anything about it for years because of living in rented student accommodation #but maybe this will be the summer i crumble and just buy one myself #talking
