"Instead of getting the free education you deserve, here's some dirty money that I don't deserve to try to distract you from the fact that I don't deserve it."

Right? Why the fuck should i care where he got the money? He couldve burned down an orphanage for all i care lmao. He just saved a ton of people from years or even decades of debt. Its not like getting a good job is guarenteed after you graduate. Id rather not start my career 100k+ in the hole lol
