I’m in a bit of a rut. My friends are assholes who don’t give two shits about me doing I have no one else to talk to, I have intense guilt from leaving my poor undocumented mom and sister at home with my narcissistic and emotionally abusive dad while I have fun here, I have clinical depression but can’t turn to therapy to talk or else they may have to take action on my behalf and on my family’s (which CANNOT happen), and Columbia just stole another 1000$ from me. I’m dying out here.

I'm a prospective Columbia teachers college grad student. Reading all these comments resonates with my experiences at undergrad as a first gen low income black woman at Cal. We qualify for EBT y'all if you are work study eligible and are working a work study job. Food can be delivered online using EBT as well. You are enough and deserve to be there! Your life matters.

#884 I'm a pretty clearly underweight sophomore guy and it's really been affecting my mental health and confidence. I really want to finally start feeling comfortable in my body, however I'm also too insecure and poor to start working out and going to the gym and shit. Do I need to suck it up and just start and what general fitness options do I have at CU? (the cheaper the better please :'( - I will also take any tips on just how to gain weight :/ )

#883 Are all of the senior events black tie, or do the rest of us who don't have suits get to celebrate graduating too?

#882 My parents recently divorced. My stepdad is an emotionally abusive narcissist. My mom, who I love so much, now has to work 7 days a week to put food on the table. My mom got a roommate who destroyed her house and ahe had to pay money to cover the damages. I grew up with a poor single mom and now my mom is going back to being a poor single mom. I feel bad about having fun here at Columbia (in between financial struggles here) while my mom has to struggle at home.

#881 one of my parents died this semester unexpectedly and i feel like im finally coming to terms with it since finals have ended. I feel like i cant talk to anyone about this because i put up a facade that i was ok all throughout the semester. Maybe I shouldn't have done that but Columbia is already so stressful that to break down crying in class wouldn't really help. I didn't want to take leave, although I should of, because I was afraid my fin aid would mess up.
