It is so hard growing up in this day and age. When I see my nieces and nephews and their friends working 2 or 3 jobs and going to school and having 2 3 or 4 roommates it makes me glad I am not young anymore. When I was going to school in the late 70's n early 80's my rent for a 1 bedroom apartment was $305/month and I go upset when they raised it to $315! I was working 3 shifts plus college. Worked a mexican restaurant dinner n lunch shifts and had classes in between then bartended in the evenings, then studied and slept and did the same thing the next day.

It is a hard life but I never had to have a roommate, so I was lucky. I'm not trying to give anyone the "I walked to school in 5 foot of snow story like our grandpas used to give us" but I wonder if pursuing a modeling career when you have nowhere to go and no one to help you out is the way to survive.

You may have to lower yourself and get a job in the restaurant or hospitality or maintenance industries and work on your modeling career on the side.

Learn to take care of yourself and what you accomplish in the future will mean so much more because you earned it on your own.

I don't mean to be a hard a** but I am realistic and I don't think you are, handsome.

Good luck to you.
