I just got a piece of mail from Charleston School of Law that just threw a huge wrench in my plans. They just gave me 41k a year in scholarships (non-conditional) and my tuition in my estimated cost of attendance is 45k. I have heard many negative things regarding the school, so I hesitate to take the money and attend.
I am currently committed to the University of South Carolina with an out-of-state scholarship of 32k a year and an additional scholarship of 14k a year. According to Charleston, my estimated cost of attendance for 2023-2024 would be 73k, and for South Carolina, it would be 66k.
To speak about myself, I am interested in the public sector and would love to work in the Department of Justice.
I am looking for some information to help me decide and if anyone has any helpful details to contribute to my decision-making process, as this was not something I was prepared for. Thanks in advance!

hey y’all, I am an incoming freshman at Texas State University and I really want to go to Texas state but the tuition is killing me. I have been endlessly trying to find scholarships but being that I am not a US citizen or permanent resident, it has been almost impossible, but I still apply to the ones that I can find. My FAFSA is taking so long and it is only estimated that they would give me around 2000 even including the fact that my mother has not been working for a while and my dad is not in my life anymore as he and my mom are separated but not officially divorced. Do y’all know that I could possibly reduce my tuition and get my cost lower?? do y’all also know where I could find scholarships and grants for Texas State because I did go on the IGrant, but it does not show me where to request for a grant. Please help me out anything helps. Any info or piece of advice helps. I’m just trying to go to school and further my education. Thank you for reading and God bless.

Hello! I made a post some time ago asking for guidance about Rose when it comes to finances. TLDR is that my estimated direct costs are around 40k a year and I expect to have around 100k in loans if I choose to go there. My offer from IIT recently came out and as a commuter I’d have to pay around 14k, likely having 0 loans. My heart wants to go to Rose but my gut tells me IIT is probably more worth it. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated!
Other info that might be important or a factor: -Computer engineering major -Someone I know studied my major at IIT so I might be able to get all my books at a lower cost/free -I submitted a financial aid appeal and only got a laptop scholarship

Hi Everyone, I'm in quite the pickle since I didn't get my financial aid information from RIT since I don't have my FAFSA completed yet. As of now, all I know is I need to dorm, my SAI definitely is -1500, and I have a scholarship of 25k per year + possible maxed out TAP since I'm low income. I'm not really sure about the cost and loans I need to take out + the amount of money I should earn to pay off potential debts. I heard that there's a co-op program but I doubt if it'll be enough to pay off everything. Does anyone have a rough estimate on how much I would end up paying? Thank you very much. Unfortunately the FAFSA has been very troublesome on my parent's portal

A few weeks ago, I receive the estimated financial aid award letter and it included an “outside scholarship”. I don’t have any confirmed outside scholarships for Fall 2024, so I want to know if there’s a way to see my award letter with just Pell and Hope.

Choosing between UNC Chapel Hill and Rutgers North Brunswick for pharmD as a high school senior (come out with pharmacy doctorate in 6 years). Please help me decide. Commitment deadline is VERY soon.
UNC: #1 for pharmacy, 60k estimate/yr (more accurate pricing would be $45-50k with budgeting, parents would only pay up to 35k), 6 year pharmD Early Assurance Program, Carolina Global Launch (semester study abroad with $1,000 scholarship). UNC has much more flexible AP credit waivers (if I remember correctly, there may be a 75 credit hour cap?). Non-North Carolina resident & out of state. Heard that there is little mental health advising for students. Not as big of an east asian enrollment. Heard that premed is cut throat; if academics are harder, may not have as much time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Would need to do work-study.
RU: #20 for pharmacy, 25k estimate/yr (parents would pay for all room/board/full cost of attendance), 6 year pharmD program, Rutgers Honors College, No study abroad allowed for pharmacy (after discussing with dean, only possibility is Douglass Global Village for a week during spring break). Rutgers only allows 8 AP credits waived (essentially an AP bio lecture/lab). NJ resident & in state (close family, although not extremely important). Felt very overwhelmed at Rutgers. Larger east asian enrollment. Also heard that pharmD is difficult, but would not need to do work study and could have more time for extracurriculars/clubs/research/work. Am also currently in the process of interviewing for local pharm tech positions.
I am interested in going into industry or potentially clinical but definitely not retail pharmacy. Would love to get a fellowship, do research, or get an externship at a pharmaceutical company. May be interested in med afterwards but not very likely and set on chemistry/drug development/pharm for undergrad/first degree. Rutgers is also in a great place for pharmaceutical companies and I know Rutgers promotes it's Johnson & Johnson's affiliated opportunities a lot. However, UNC has the research triangle too. Finances and student debt is my main inhibiting factor; I would need to take out approx 20-25k/yr in private student loans if I attend UNC. It has more prestige, better placement into industry (according to my brief research, I could be wrong), is a research heavy school, I love the school culture, people are also generally much nicer in UNC. Personally hate how spread out the RU campus is but not a huge factor in my decision. If money was not an issue, I would choose UNC.
Can I get some input from current/former students that have experience at either school or experience with student debt? Is it worth it?

Edit: If you are going to comment on the length of this post, please don't. This is not a simple snark but rather an actual critical think piece about feminism and Taylor Swift.

Introduction

Pertaining to Taylor Swift, "Female Rage" has deviated from its intended meaning after Swift debuted a new performance of The Tortured Poets Department during the Eras Tour. Now, according to Swift's use of the phrase, female rage is interpreted as public backlash against Swift's dating choices rather than as a response to the broader injustices against women and women's rights. This post examines Taylor Swift's flawed feminism, philanthropy, branding, and the controversial trademark petition for the phrase "Female Rage: The Musical". Swift's background as an entertainer, indeterminate politics, and alignment with capitalism over feminism pervades her legacy, again threatening her public tolerance as not just an individual but as a brand.

Once Upon a Female Rage...

If you were cognizant in the early 2010's, you've heard countless jabs at Taylor Swift in the media. Magazines, radio, or online. Music critics did not take her seriously as a songwriter; parents put a woman on an unrealistic pedestal as the ideal role model for their children; she dated too much and used men as lyrical fodder. No matter the story, it inevitably spread, conjoined with everyone's respective opinions, and you'd be left to wonder, "Why does everyone hate this girl so much?"
Taylor's target demographic has always been young or adolescent girls, more so when Swift herself was one. She made music that spoke to the awkward misfit, cultivating a para-social relationship with fans on MySpace, then later twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, where Taylor posted relatable vlogs showcasing the life of a homegrown American girl. Taylor had a delayed public "growing up" and, compared to her female pop contemporaries, Swift never "gratuitously sexualized her image and seems pathologically averse to controversy" (and, apparently, never even had a sip of alcohol until she turned 21). She was more than happy to spin this narrative to allude to an inherent moral superiority above other women in the industry (Better Than Revenge, heard of it?), engaging in the very slut-shaming that she herself endured (the Madonna and Whore archetypes). The victim complex arose with the need to prove Taylor as a different type of pop girl. Based upon her holy and clean image, Swift had been dubbed "a feminist's nightmare", and that "[To Swift] other girls are obstacles; undeserving enemies who steal Taylor’s soulmates with their bewitching good looks and sexual availability." Feminism and Tennessee-Christian country values don't exactly mix, it seems.
Years later, Swift befriended Lena Dunham and thus experienced white feminism osmosis, where Dunham taught Swift that real feminists defend rapists, makes insensitive jokes about rape and abortion, and prioritize all-white casts. Swift then declared herself a feminist in 2014, saying,

"Becoming friends with Lena – without her preaching to me, but just seeing why she believes what she believes, why she says what she says, why she stands for what she stands for – has made me realize that I’ve been taking a feminist stance without actually saying so."

I suppose the male-centric songwriting subject that permeates Swift's discography contained covert feminism and that we just didn't see that. Perhaps, the "Bad Blood" song and music video were written only in jest and not about poor Katy Perry, for Swift, as a feminist, would "never make it a girl fight" or tear other women down (though all Katy did was date your terrible ex-boyfriend and allegedly steal three backup dancers from your tour). In 2013, Swift said, in response to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's joke towards her serial dating, "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."
There was that time in 2015 Taylor said that Nicki Minaj was "invited to any stage [she is] on" (as if Taylor expects to have access to every stage, award, and platform that Nicki might not otherwise have as a black female artist...yikes!) in response to Nicki's criticism of the white + thin VMA nominations. Later, Nicki responded with confusion, as Swift continued, "It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..". Of course, this 'beef' was 'squashed' when Nicki performed with Taylor at the VMAs, with Nicki quite literally only having 38 seconds of stage time without Taylor. Maybe all that parading around with a legion of famous white women - similar to the way Taylor might've done with her numerous 1989-era handbags - was in fact a stance against gender inequality, and that this display of "girl power" should be enough to constitute Swift as a feminist icon.
Even while Swift says that Dunham informed her feminist outlook, she dances around the exact contents of those beliefs: "what she believes, what she says, what she stands for" is not exactly insightful towards what beliefs Swift might have inherited. Taylor never broaches women's rights topics such femicide, FGM, forced pregnancy & marriage, sex trafficking, women in slavery, women's financial and political oppression, women's educational rights, women's health, or women's autonomy, so we can assume she only gives a fuck about "girls supporting girls" (whatever that fucking means).
Despite some questionable (and sometimes vindictive) behavior, Taylor as a young woman did not deserve every media lashing that she received. We cannot deny that most headlines and criticisms perpetuated a misogynistic rhetoric which has plagued Swift for a majority of her career. Acknowledging events such as the development of her ED, her sexual assault trial, "Famous" lyric and MV depiction of Taylor, and the explicit Twitter deepfakes, for example, as both disgusting and unfortunate things that happened to a young woman in Hollywood does not negate the fact that Taylor is mostly a performative feminist.

Get Your Fucking Ass Up and Be a Philanthropist, It Seems Like Nobody Wants to Be a Philanthropist These Days

In 2013, Taylor Swift cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the Taylor Swift Education Center at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. The donation amount - $4 million - was the largest individual artist gift ever donated to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which is, of course, mentioned on Swift's website. The two-story facility features three classrooms, an instrument room, and an interactive children's exhibit gallery. Swift also performed at "All for the Hall" charity shows and has donated numerous artifacts from her career (such as notable guitars, tour costumes, etc) to the museum.
This was over 11 years ago, and it is still the only notable philanthropic contribution Taylor Swift has made.
For a woman of her net worth and stature, and a woman who recognizes the difficulties for women in film and music, you would think that Taylor Swift might establish a scholarship program for women to study the arts or something. Perhaps Swift might even consider becoming a member of organizations that support female artists, or one that supports LGBTQ+ causes (since she is now proudly an ally), yet she remains superficial with her graces. Broader philanthropy, such as donating relief aid to Palestinian women or women impacted by violence and discrimination will probably never receive any financial support from Miss Swift because then she'd be using her money towards philanthropies involving anyone but white entertainers.
She even says herself in Miss Americana, "My entire moral code as a kid and now is a need to be thought of as 'good'." Well, she's certainly thought of as good, though her actions say otherwise. She's more than happy to do a vaguely altruistic song and dance for a clip-worthy interview quote and mass appeasement, then fuck off to one of her mansions on a 20 minute private jet flight, rather than actually contribute to anything pertaining to the causes she has endorsed. Yet, far too many people continue to give a woman such as her their money, time, and energy, and she hoards these resources to herself.

I Like Some of the Taylor's Songs, But What the Fuck Does She Know About Feminism?

Swift continued with her self-proclaimed feminist campaign, positioning herself as a political activist and LGBTQ+ ally in the Miss Americana documentary. The primary focus of the documentary consists of the sexual assault trial, Andrea Swift's cancer diagnosis, Taylor's ED and body dysmorphia, media scrutiny, and, largely, finally speaking up about her politics publicly, mostly her opposition to the 2018 Tennessee Republican senate candidate, Marsha Blackburn, and Blackburn's beliefs. Swift says, following a scene discussing her experience during the trial,

"I just couldn't really stop thinking about it. And I just thought to myself, next time there is any opportunity to change anything, you had better know what you stand for and what you want to say."

We must ask ourselves, though: when has Swift ever spoken up to change anything? Okay, pulling her entire catalogue from Spotify because they didn't pay their artists enough and similarly pulling her catalogue from Apple Music are changes that she leveraged due to her revenue potential and power, but they are not pertinent to the average woman's rights. Moreover, these are issues that directly impacted Taylor's income, which was enough reason for her to protest in the first place. Swift has sold the most units for a female artist in first week sales, is the first female artist with 100k monthly Spotify listeners, is the first female artist to win the Album of the Year Grammy 4 times, and is the first female artist to do X, Y, and Z, all while being inoffensive and family-friendly to boot. The actual Taylor Swift seems unwilling to compromise the brand of Taylor Swift by contributing in meaningful ways to feminist causes, especially if it is for women outside of America and Hollywood.
The reason political anthems such as "The Man" and "Only the Young" of the Lover era feel disingenuous and corporate is because, well, it is. Taylor has taken every opportunity to advance her career or public image at the expense of other women. What is truly genuine to Taylor's outlook on other women is vying for male attention, taking down female competition, and vocalizing feminist injustices only if they directly impact her and her money. Some will argue that it's satisfactory for a woman with such a huge platform to even TALK about feminism, but that just isn't enough. It's even less impressive when you candidly look at the scope of her feminist lens: "If I was the man, then I'd be THE MAN", or "I really resent the ‘Be careful, buddy, she’s going to write a song about you’ angle, because it trivialises what I do", and, of course, "We all got crowns". Feminism, but only when it happens to me. It gets worse when you look at Taylor's track record of copying other famous women and removing other female artists as potential threats to her pop prowess.
It's good for PR to align yourself with certain blanket feminist and political beliefs, therefore good for branding, therefore good for ticketing and merchandise sales, therefore good for business. And Taylor Swift is a business.
She's not a feminist. Taylor Swift is a capitalist.

I Can't Pay Those Sweatshop Workers a Livable Wage or Benefits! How Else Would I Make My Billions?

Recently, Taylor's team filed to trademark the phrase "Female Rage: The Musical" after Taylor said during Paris N1 of the Eras Tour,

"So you were the first ones to see The Tortured Poets at the Eras Tour...or as I like to call it, 'Female Rage: The Musical'."

This trademark petition was filed last week on Saturday, and news comes about just as numerous unofficial fan-made merch designs have cropped up with this phrase plastered on Fruit of the Loom basics. I'm of the opinion Swift's team motioned for a trademark so that they can send out cease & desists to all those that make knockoff merch, which disrupts potential sales for Bravado, UMG's choice merchandising company; however, since it was filed earlier, perhaps Swift has bigger plans with the bizarre use of the gendered phrase. One Swiftie referred to the phrase "female rage" as "a funny Eras Tour joke". Could it be a possible fourth version of the Eras Tour Movie? Whatever the reason, the motion to capitalize off of such a concept is disgusting, but not unsurprising, for a woman that profits on her vain feminism.
Swift, through her company, TAS Rights Managements, has also trademarked over 200 phrases, including "1989", where she owns the property rights to this calendar year on keychains, phone cases, sunglasses, stationary, bags, beverage ware, clothing, entertainment services, your subconscious, and, of course, Christmas ornaments.
The vapid consumerism in Swiftie culture is, frankly, disgusting. Bravado's sustainability statement is non-existent, the quality control is abysmal, and the materials they use are horrible. The materials, such as acrylic and polyester, are made from petrochemicals. This means they are non-renewable, shed microplastics, and are quite toxic in production. The manufacturing process to make all of those lazy-rushed Eras Tour logo graphic tees is a huge blow to environmental well-being. Apparently, though, Swifties don't give a fuck. They sell out products in seconds and either have to face the manufactured scarcity or buy from a scalper that resells for 200% of the already ridiculous retail price. This doesn't include the environmental impact of vinyl records, CD, and cassette production, of which Taylor produces many variants that sell unsustainable amounts.
If we're talking about women's rights violations, why is no one acknowledging the women that work in the inhumane sweatshop conditions that have to pump out fugly t-shirts and hats? The millions of plastic microfiber dander they are inhaling, or the toxic dyes that touch their bare skin? Are they being compensated fairly for their skilled labour and are they in safe working environments? Do these women have minimal bargaining power, and do they have authority over their worker's rights? Is Taylor Swift female raging at their injustices? Does Taylor Swift ever feels bad that her wealth was built on the backs of women of color, disadvantaged by the demands of the global economy and garment industry? Do you think she ever says a little white feminist prayer for them before she goes to sleep at night?
What's even crazier is not that Taylor herself doesn't care, it's that Swifties don't care. There CANNOT BE ethical billionaires. You only make a billion dollars if you are exploiting other human beings for capital gain. Based on public perception of the possible "Female Rage: The Musical" trademark, it seems like Swifties are already asking for merch with this phrase. "If Taylor made it, I'd buy it." Oh, cool. So not only do you champion Miss Swift's avarice and billionaire status, but you also are unashamed to admit to your blind consumption of her music and merchandise, no matter where they might originate in production or sincerity. Just as Swift takes and takes and takes, Swifties' consumerism of Taylor Swift cannot be quelled.
The tortured artist's most vulnerable and sincere poetry...available now in 21 different versions!

I Am Tortured Poet, Hear Me Whinge

Look - even if Taylor's intention is to characterize TTPD as more "tortured" and "angry", the main thread of the album is "I was ghosted by my decade-long situationship with a controversial indie boy and my fucking stupid fans wrote a 'Speak Up Now' open letter prompting me to drop him" anger, which is adequately expressed in the lyrics and performances. The extent of Taylor's "female rage" on TTPD is on tracks such as "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?", which contends with relentless media scrutiny; "But Daddy I Love Him", where Swift firmly states she'll date whoever she likes no matter how "Sarahs and Hannahs" may react; and "The Albatross", a track mythologizing her reputation and the consequences of dating her. Of course, these coincide with deep psychological wounds that formed during Swift's early years in the media, and so, from her feminist perspective, these subjects tackle the misogyny and double standards that she faced.
Yet Taylor Swift still has no grounds to be claiming that TTPD best exemplifies female rage and therefore she, in the context of this album, is female rage incarnate. As the daughter of a stock broker and mutual fund marketing executive, Taylor was born into wealth and allowed privileges like trips and subsequent relocation to Nashville all so that she might get a record deal. Her father even invested at least $120,000 into the then-fledgling label, Big Machine Records, which ensured Taylor's place with Borchetta after leaving her dead-end development deal with Sony. The fact that her parents were able to buy her a fucking brand new guitar for Christmas and pay for music lessons says so much about the financial security and safety of her childhood.
Money is privilege and protection, and despite Swift's experiences with misogyny and loser boyfriends, she does not know what female rage is.
Her rage is derived from her frustrations with her obsessive fans pulling the moral superiority card on Taylor in response to her rebound with Matty Healy. That's literally it. She's just pissed that the monster she created is no longer obediant, it's become a feral, sovereign entity that depletes the world of its natural resources and thinks it is more intelligent than it actually is because it's mommy has started to talk to it with big words. Apparently, 'illicit', 'elegy', 'nonchalant', and 'precocious' are considerably big words for the oafish monster, and I find it strange that this level of literacy is present in a group of fans that allegedly have GPAs of 3.5 or higher, but I digress.
Taylor Swift has never been one paycheck away from destitution. Taylor Swift has never experienced racial discrimination. She may have instances of gender discrimination, but she possesses the ideal white, blonde American beauty standard and therefore reaps the benefits of being a conventionally attractive woman. Taylor Swift has sufficient social capital. Taylor Swift is a billionaire woman prolonging her victimhood though she, as a woman, has mostly had control over her image and music (unlike her contemporaries). Taylor Swift is NOT entitled to be championed for her "female rage", nor should she be. Taylor Swift has never even been the struggling artist, for fuck's sake. I don't give a fuck if she's trying to fill the empty lunch tables of her past. Taylor Swift purporting herself, her unpolished album, and her lukewarm feminism as a musical bleeding with female rage is asinine.

Sigh Try and Come For My Job, Poors

Out there in the world right now is a 23-year-old woman, a recent college grad, who works as a barista. She has to wake up and get ready to go into a minimum wage job because she cannot get a job in her field. She doesn't have healthcare benefits or sick time, so she has to go into work no matter how she's feeling. All day long she is berated by vicious customers and creepy men, and, exhausted from being on her feet, she knows she has to go home to her shitty roommate that never does the dishes and her roommate's shitty dog. To comfort herself, she considers getting a treat, but thinks against it when she remembers that matcha lattes cost $15 and they taste like milky dirt. She knows that she needs to buy groceries this week, and so the woman resolves to go home, but notices that her gas tank is low. She goes to put gas in the car, but the pump stops at $27.86 because that's all that she has in her checking account. The woman, bereft and reeling, sinks into the driver's seat. "Well," she thinks, her head in her hands, "at least I don't have Taylor Swift's job. I just couldn't imagine."
Fame is somewhat of a choice. If at any moment Taylor feels that she is misunderstood, misconstrued, or overwhelmed by public opinion, she can LEAVE the public eye - Lord knows she has the retirement fund and residuals to do so. In "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart", the TTPD song about meeting the demands of your career-zenith mega-tour while in the relationship trenches, Taylor ends the song by rambling,

"You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart...you know you're good...and I'm good, cause I'm miserable, and no one even knows!...try and come for my job."

Yeah, obviously we wouldn't know, you recently passed the billionaire threshold and are the most famous and in-demand performer in the world right now. Taylor Swift makes an estimated $10 to $13 million dollars A NIGHT on the Eras Tour. Furthermore, the Eras Tour movie grossed $261.6 million globally, (which, as the producer, Taylor takes home 57% of the ticket sales) not counting the streaming revenue from Amazon Prime Video and the estimated $75 million deal that Disney paid to have it on Disney+. We're not even considering the income from cheap plastic popcorn buckets and drink cups plastered with colored squares in her Era-specific likeness.
It's funny. Taylor Swift often said that being famous wasn't hard, that she "isn't complaining". I'm sure it is difficult to always have to present in a good mood, else you'll end up misrepresented in the media, and I'm sure it's invasive to virtually have no privacy or semblance of anonymity. Still, Taylor Swift shows up each night of tour and performs. For a majority of her career, she has penned her sad songs while on the road. Most of "Red", her breakup album, was written in the thick of the Speak Now World tour. Now, some Swifties say they almost "feel bad" for attending the Eras Tour with Swift's revelations in this song, that they have had a 'dimmed experience' upon hearing Taylor's misery whilst performing. Despite the fact that Taylor said that "this was the happiest she's ever been" at Gilette Stadium in May, the lyrics "boohoo, woe is me, smile for the cameras and make the fans happy!!!" are jarring for Eras attendees.
While Taylor Swift was making double-digit millions a night in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and feeling miserable, Ana Clara Benevides Machado passed away due to heat exposure. The concert promoters, Time For Fun, are now the subject of a criminal investigation due to their lack of adequate hydration and safety. Taylor Swift cancelled the Sunday show that was to follow and offered VIP tent tickets to Benevides Marchado's family, which was a kind gesture, but perhaps incongruous to the incident of which they were offered as consolation. Everyone grieves differently, of course, but I'm not sure attending the very show at the very same venue that my daughter or sister passed away in two days prior, where the singer CONTINUED the show despite her death, would be healthy for closure.
There was no female rage at the show as Swift never saw Benevides Machado pass out. There was no female rage towards the disregard for fans as humans while Swift elected to proceed with her Brazil tour dates despite the country being in historic heatwaves (at risk of overheatting herself). If Taylor Swift was so shaken by touring with a broken heart or a fan's passing, she wouldn't have added an additional North American leg of Eras just two months after the Matty breakup. She's brokenhearted but willing to mend the cracks with your money and move onward with her worldwide female rage induced pillaging.
No matter what happens, even if you die at a Taylor Swift concert, Taylor collects a big fat check and flies away. She doesn't know you as anything other than a conversion rate or earning potential despite what her nearly 20-year long parasocial relationship with fans might otherwise indicate. She knows that, while some Swifties are without disposable income, they feel obligated to spend on a "48 Hours Only!" exclusive vinyl variant instead of necessities because they are so entrenched in Taylor Swift's intoxicating celebrity, they'll prioritize materialistic fandom before their needs. This is good enough for her because this means she can expand her real estate portfolio and finance her cat's lavish lifestyles. They're worth an estimated $100 million dollars. Her three cats could pool their net worth and solve world hunger.
While you and I might be denied bereavement leave and barely surviving the current political and economic climate, Taylor Swift has to, instead of gets to, perform for stadiums at full attendance for three nights in a row across the globe. You and I might be replaced by AI at our longtime jobs, but Taylor Swift is threatened with losing more and more money each time you listen to a "Stolen Version" of her songs. If we don't buy every variant of all of her albums, then who is going to pay for the fucking cats?
It is tone deaf to spend as she spends and lives as she lives in this economy, but this is her reality. She was able to donate $100,000 to all of her tour truck drivers, and that's wonderful, but it leads me to wonder about the ethos of the 2020s where one woman can hoard such life-changing amounts of money. Remember in 2014 when she gave a fan $90 ($120 in today's money) to get Chipotle because she had no fucking clue how much it cost? This is a 34-year-old woman who is increasingly out of touch with the reality for working class people and women in general. Normal everyday adults must wake up and go to their thankless jobs, and yet Taylor Swift, despite all her riches, incessantly references the lows of her life and career as a public figure and entertainer to farm sympathy and drive sales. And still, the corporate women have latched onto "I cry a lot, but I am so productive! It's an art!" as their cubicle battle cry.
Do you think that, from up in her private jet, Taylor Swift gazes at the world through her poetic, tortured eyes, and thinks, "All the little people, in their cars, walking, going about their lives...all those girls that don't support girls...do they know that I've made an album about female rage?"

Conclusion/TLDR

Thank you for reading. I would love to hear your critical insights towards this entire ordeal: TTPD, the trademark, the implications of it all.
TLDR: Taylor Swift is a bad feminist and is delusional to think that the TTPD eras set exemplifies female rage at women's injustice.

Good thing: I passed UP Los Banos for BS Bio. 2 Bad things: My fam can't afford for me to go to UPLB and I'm a dumbass that failed to register and take DOST-SEI scholarship that would've increased my chances of going to LB-- and by also doing sidejobs.
So I'm left with two options: I either go to MSU-IIT and take BS Microbiology or maybe transfer my slot to UPMin and take BS Biology.
For Context: I'm a dood that lives in Iligan City. In all things financially practical, my ass should just be going to MSU-IIT. "But did I really just review and take UPCAT for UP for nothing?" is an infuriating question that keeps popping in my mind every single time that I reminisce about the fact that I'm 95% likely going to IIT. Now, I don't really have anything against IIT. In fact, my old man who's a professor highly suggests that I just go to IIT since, according to him, the quality of education compared to LB is really just about the same.
I interviewed 4 alumnis from our school who are now currently studying in LB regarding the costs they have to pay every month while in UP. The general estimate is that they use up around P8-10k per month, maybe sometimes more, which includes their rent, food, and all that.
My family isn't rich or poor; we're middle class. I live with my grandma in Iligan, while my old man, my only parent, lives in Bukidnon along with our stepfamily. He works to feed my stepfamily over there while also building a house. He actually loaned quite a lot of money from the bank for their house which is still not completed. He currently can't support me due to his loans.
I want the take my opportunity to UP so I tried to find ways to support myself and not bother them while I go to UP. I don't think UPLB is possible even if I take jobs so that's out of the table, but I actually found out that you can transfer your slot to UPMin from my friend who passed UPLB but was DPWAS. He showed me a Google Form sent by the UPadmissions and then, to my surprise, BS Bio was available. I talked to a relative who once did sidejobs while studying in IIT that maybe I could do sidejobs to support myself in UPMin. We talked a bit about jobs and what sites to go to, and she encouraged me to go to UPMin. My thought process with the costs for UPMin is that it should be much lower compared to LB since it's not Manila area.
I introduced the idea of going to UPMin to my old man but he slanders UPMin and calls it a joke compared to IIT, saying that he's never heard anything from that campus, and he's never heard or seen anyone getting hired as a graduate from there? (what). He also states that IIT is a CoE, College of Excellence, in Biology while UPMin is just a CoD, College of Development.
I want to go to UPMin since it's UP and also because I'd also be with my doods but is it wise to go there or am I just very stupid?

Industry Demand
Don't just follow your heart, follow the job market too! Research what IT skills are in high demand right now. By selecting a course packed with skills companies crave, you'll stand out from the crowd and snag your dream job in no time.

1. Evaluate Course Content and Curriculum:

Content and Curriculam
After creating a shortlist of courses aligned with your IT aspirations, dive deeper to assess their curriculum. The strongest program will provide a thorough exploration of the subject, not just a surface-level introduction. Hands-on experience is vital in IT, so prioritise courses with opportunities to apply your knowledge through practical exercises. Real-world projects or internships are like gold – they'll give you practical experience and make you a much stronger candidate in the eyes of potential employers. Beyond the course content, consider practicalities like duration – how much time can you realistically dedicate to your studies? Think about the learning format – classroom setting for structure or online for flexibility? Finally, some employers value accreditation from a reputable institution, so factor that in as well. By meticulously evaluating these elements, you'll be well-equipped to select the ideal IT course that launches you toward your desired career path.

1. Seek Feedback and Recommendations:

Feedback and Recommendations
After shortlisting a few IT courses, don't stop there! Connect with IT professionals or graduates of those programs to get the inside scoop. Their real-world experiences can provide valuable insights you won't find in a brochure. Talk to them about the quality of the course, how relevant the curriculum is to actual IT jobs, and what the overall learning experience was like. This firsthand information can be invaluable for making the best choice for your IT education.

1. Consider Certification and Credentials:

Certification and Credentials
Many IT courses offer certification upon completion, which can enhance your credentials and credibility in the job market. Research industry-recognized certifications relevant to your chosen field and consider courses that provide preparation for these exams. Holding certifications demonstrates your expertise and commitment to continuous learning, making you a more attractive candidate to employers.

1. Evaluate Cost and Return on Investment (ROI):

ROI
Powering up your IT skills with courses is a great career move, but treat it like an investment. Before you enrol, do some budgeting. Factor in the tuition costs, any hidden extras like textbooks or software, and see if there's financial aid or scholarships to ease the financial blow. It's also smart to research the average salary in your chosen IT field. This will help you estimate the Return on Investment (ROI) and figure out how long it might take to see your education pay off financially.

1. Stay Updated on Industry Trends:

The IT world is like a fast-moving river, with new tech and trends constantly popping up. Even after you choose a course and land your IT job, keep learning! Stay on top of industry developments, hot new advancements, and any emerging technologies relevant to your specialisation. There are tons of resources available, from ongoing learning programs to online courses. Keep feeding your IT knowledge to stay ahead of the curve and future-proof your career.

Remember, the optimal course is the one that not only equips you with practical skills but also motivates you to pursue your professional goals fervently.

Hello, I’m upcoming freshman and I was looking to get an idea of how much I would have to pay for college. I’ve received 75% bright futures in addition to the Pegasus Gold scholarship and was wondering how finances would look like assuming I based everything off the estimated rates provided by UCF. I know this is a very broad question but if anyone has been in the same boat pls let me know. Also I haven’t received my financial aid package but I’ve received around 3k in grants from other universities so I’m not sure if that helps.

Okay let me list all of my stats:
3.3 unweighted GPA
24 ACT (Plan to retake)
1170 SAT (Plan to retake)
AP CompSci: 3
APWH: 3
Took this yeaPlan to: AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Calc AB, APUSH, AP Physics 1, AP Lit
Member at large as a Thespian for Theatre Club
Secretary for Stellar FX Show Choir
Planning exclusive Show Choir Summer Camp
Volunteer Assistant Volleyball Coach at the Y
2025 Class President in 2023
1st Gen
Plan to apply to Khan Academy Breakthrough Junior Challenge Scholarship for 250k
I am pretty sure that is most of them, think I'll get at least a 4 on the rest of my APs feel confident so far, GPA tanked because of some family issues that year and this year, but anyways I plan to get into a Biomedical Science program and get my PhD and get into med school, getting into Emergency Sciences. I really want to get into an impressive school, but I cannot apply for the FASFA due to my parents being undocumented. Currently a Junior at a pretty big school, plan to be in more clubs next year but yeah. I was hoping to look into being an International Student in Germany or Spain, but I am not sure into how I want to look into that. I am worried about all of the rumors of how most countries are not how they seem (never been out of the country so I don't mean to be insensitive) and I want an affordable tuition. I was also looking into the University of Rochester in NY where my brother went, or University of Washington. I really don't want to stay in-state (AZ), but I fear I will have to go to U of A or NAU. Any ideas of places I can go where I have a chance to get into?

I’m a current high school senior and Syracuse is my #1 school. I was accepted into the Maxwell School for geography, and given a 25k Archbold-Day scholarship, in addition to 30k need based financial aid (although this is still an estimate, my fafsa hasn’t been processed). I am also going to be appealing this aid once I am given an official estimate. This would bring the cost to between 28k-29k before loans, and I am lucky enough that my parents are able to pay up to 20k a year for school. My biggest concern is that my need based aid drastically decreases my sophomore year bc my sister ( rising senior at Boston college) will be in grad school, and I’m not sure how much that may affect my aid. Syracuse is definitely my top school, it has a good geography program, sports, school spirit, and social scene all of which are important to me. I wasn’t originally planning on rushing but I have heard it can be hard for guys not in frats to have a super active social life, which I want. My second choice would be Binghamton, which would definitely be very affordable, but I don’t love as much as Syracuse. If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions, or advice please let me know! I technically have until Wednesday 5/15 to commit, but I think it will be extended again due to the extreme delay with fafsa and my financial aid appeal.

the tuition says that its $18,162. total grants and scholarships that i got was $18,691. indirect estimated costs were in total $14,242. Can i just ignore those since stuff like books, I can find second hand? The only thing I truly can't avoid is housing and dining, which is $5,712. Is that how much I need to pay for the dorm? Also, it said i could get up to $10,000 FWSP award money. I would upload my package but i'm not sure if i am allowed to do that.

Hi, not sure if this is allowed to ask here but I’m in need of help. The decision day for Penn State is two days away and I’m stuck between Towson and Penn State.
My mom makes about 30k a year, she just started almost a year ago though. And my dad makes about (estimated) 40k a year. They also have a lot of kids. I’m the only child they share but my father has six other kids to take care of plus he’s not my primary parent but he’s willing to help pay.
Towson, I would only pay around 3k a year if I just commute but Ubering from my house to Towson every day for a week is like $500. My mom said I’d be better off just staying on campus. They told me I’d have to pay $32,730 to just attend as a Maryland resident on campus. But for Penn State Altoona, I’d only have to pay $17k a year because of the grants and scholarships I was given. My mom is conflicted on where I should go, and for Penn State it would only be $8k a semester.
I plan on helping out the best I can, but I’m not sure if it’s considered cheap. My mom doesn’t think it’s that bad though.
Thoughts?
