me if i was Tails, or "The Amnesic Incognito Live System", a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity against surveillance, which connects to the Internet exclusively through the anonymity network Tor and is designed to be booted as a live DVD or live USB and never writes to the hard drive or SSD, leaving no digital footprint on the machine unless explicitly told to do so.
You really don't need a degree in literature to become a published author. That's like getting a degree in media studies so you can become a youtuber. Yeah, you could do it, and it may give you some advantages, but like... You're already literate, right? Besides that, taking a class or two on literature or creative writing would give you a lot of the skills you need to get you on your way, which you can easily do while pursuing another degree that ensures greater monetary security or (less easily) at a community college while also working.
I'm not saying that the system that begets this thinking is good, but it is the one we live under.
I was going to ignore it but then you did it again and so now I can't help but be a pedantic ass: it's spelled "college". Collage is those art pieces made of scraps of other art/media
