gollark: What if you fake faking your death?
gollark: What if you fake your own death so you can claim you're suffering trauma and don't have to study?
gollark: > someone should dieNo. That is a bad thing.
gollark: Euler was a real person, alright.
gollark: Anyway, there are other options you should consider: scholarships, possibly going to other countries although I doubt any will let you just go there and get free university or something, working in a job which does not require the expensive training so you can be financially independent, probably other stuff.
