My mom thinks I’m a failure as an adult, because I haven’t graduated from college and I’m not going to medical school, and she had another one of those “You need to get used to being poor because you’re going to be poor for your entire life” talks with me today. I’ve been working two jobs and going to school part time. It’s my 22nd birthday. I spent a good while crying because I feel like a worthless excuse for an adult.
