Make Me Pay
I see the way students here live, how they have to pay for everything themselves. They have a job, sometimes two, sometimes three, and they STILL find time to study and get drunk on weekends. It's a hard life, It is the American Life. They make you pay if you forget your swipe card to get in, they make you pay $5 for mini box of crackers, they make you pay hundreds of dollars for books, student health insurance, fees, taxes, classes, I heard they were gonna start charging us the next time we breathe. I can't help but make the constant comparison between the drastic life Americans live and how I grew up. Back home, I never paid. I can't really say I knew what it felt like before I moved here. Healthcare and anything related to it is free. Groceries are cheap, gas is as expensive as water, and you could politely flirt your way out of getting a speeding ticket, assuming you're ever stopped in your lifetime. Moving here, western movies did not prepare me for the mid-weste...
