basically i was planning to try and get into chapel hill because they have an actual archaeology department and major but for an out of state resident it’s about 50k a year. 

BUT if i was a north carolina resident, it would go down to 24k a year, and only about 15k a year if i didnt dorm. 

but i would have to have proof of residency which means living there and working for a full year. luckily, there’s an AC moore close by and since ive already worked 2 years for that company i hope that means something and i can get a job there. so if i was working part time at minimum wage i would be making approx. 600 dollars a month. 

now, this would be a Big Problem because i expected apartments there to be like 1,200 dollars a month? (since i know it’s cheaper there than here where the lowest for a studio apartment i can get is 1,700) 

and while i DO have relatives there, i dont really want to move in with my really homophobic aunt (though my uncle said i could stay with them for a while if i needed too.) and my other aunt and uncle who live nearby also said i could live with them (i had debated going to college down south a long time ago and my aunt bonnie was really excited about it and offered to let me stay with them and their twelve cats) but they just got divorced and personally i prefer my aunt but we’re not actually related and im 99% sure going “hey, remember me? your ex husbands niece? im about to take you up on that offer!)

but THEN i found out i can get like really fucking cheap apartments? like around 600 a month????? ?i m over the fucking moon
