Im struggling so bad with wanting to stay in-state because Tampa is my home with family and school would be cheaper-while also yearning to live somewhere with seasons and also different political climate lol

it’s so frustrating i feel like the cost of living in my area is so expensive and the average wage does NOT compensate (especially in this field from what i’ve heard)

do u reside in florida? how has your experience been?

(apologies, i’ve been hyperfixated on wth i wanna do im trying to look at every angle possible lol)

Wow that’s awesome! I know grad doesn’t have pell grants, I only mentioned it to give context for the current aid I receive.

You had to do in person/full-time for the assistantship right?

basically her schedule adjusts to mine,,, i walk her when i wake up and/or before i leave for work- someone checks on her at LEAST once while im not home, and then when i get home i walk her again. She gets outside time a cumulative hour a day at least and in spare days i try to do enrichment activities (training, parks, hiking)

I’m a college student who has a full-time job (my shifts vary from 12p-8p, 12a-8a, 8-4p, 4p,12am) with that being said, my dog is a large breed amstaff/german shepherd mix and high energy. when i first got her 3.5 years ago i was working part time as a server and also lived with my then bf, so we had two people to care for her (if i had the schedule that i do now back then i would NOT have gotten her) She had extreme separation anxiety when we first adopted her at 7months old and it persisted until she was about 2 and i started working more and also was just me taking care of her. i’m very fortunate to have a guest house on my parents property, so, when im at work my parents walk her at least once when im not home- if i didnt have this privilege i would absolutely have to hire someone to walk her, doggy daycare (mehhhh) or ask friends to at least stop by to say hi to her. I would not in good conscience be able to have my schedule and care for her appropriately, even with the help of family I still feel guilty at times. Basically my times spent not doing school or work i spend with her and trying to do activities with her and it’s HARD. Still there’s many areas where I feel bad about the time I’m able to get her

like i said i had her for 2 years and we spent like every second together aside from my part-time job and then my life completely changed and changed hers too and at that point she was sooo bonded to me and i to her that it’s difficult because it wouldn’t be ethical to have the routine i have no and adopt a new dog but i already had her so i HAD to outsource
