[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's interesting you blame your parents for being idealistic when you keep setting yourself up with sort of dreamy unrealistic plans now with the part time internship, fantasies about a loser professor... Maybe you need to start questioning YOUR decisions.[/quote]

Agreed. The dog is also a problem. Find something that “gives you life.”[/quote]

I know the dog limits my options in terms of roommates and housing, but she's the main thing I have giving me joy every day. I would rather live in a homeless shelter with my dog than give her up. [/quote]

Do you think your parents bailing you out with the rent and minimal loans has sheltered you from your financial reality? I think you need to change your perspective.

The immediate dilemma you face is self created. That is the dog. It’s an inescapable reality. I don’t know of any new graduates who can afford to live on their own regardless of what major they took. I understand the dog provides the unconditional love you you need at this vulnerable time but it is also creating a whole new source of stress, both emotional and financial. I suspect you are going to face the same constraints time and time again.  If you find yourself having to move to take jobs, how is your neurotic dog going to respond to the changes?[/quote]
