I recently found myself in a really tough situation. I graduated with a computer science degree in 2025, but despite having two software engineering internships on my resume, I haven't been able to land a job. I was living with my parents, but after a year of being unemployed, they kicked me out. Now, I'm homeless, with $27,000 in student loan debt and no savings to my name. I was working part-time as a barista making $16 an hour, but I had to leave that job when I lost my housing. I'm in a city where rent is over $2,000 for a tiny space, and it just didn't make sense to stay. My loans have defaulted, and I don't even have an active phone number anymore. It's been a struggle just trying to get by. I feel lost and have been scavenging for plastic bottles just to make ends meet. I recently had my bike stolen while I was sleeping outside, which made things even worse. Right now, I'm sitting on a bench near a Starbucks, feeling completely defeated and lacking any confidence in myself. I don't know what to do next. I feel like my life is at a standstill, and I'm overwhelmed by it all.
