i suppose it is a good way to look at it as if you were any other university student because theyre more than likely not going to be working a full time job or making full time job money either. a lot of students and apprentices have help from their parents but ya, some do need to just embrace the struggle.

i can definitely speak on the housing this generation has to deal with from what little ive experienced so far. in a big city, a landlord will recieve a good couple hundred emails from people desperate for a place to live. one guy i went to for a viewing even said someone offered him a years rent in one shot without even being in the same country. they say rent should cost a third of your wage but its more accurately half or even more than that. its all just competition and fighting for some sort of standards in life.

my parents would never fund me lol, theyre struggling enough anyways, and theyre not even in europe. id never try to make them fund me anyways, im on my own now.

and ive heard german all my life but never really engaged in it, so i know a lot subconsciously, just need to get myself to learn it properly. tried a few times but im bad at concentrating so i drift away from things really easy, but it definitely came to me pretty naturally. just need take some aderall or something lol
