Still Alive... sorta

Hay peeps;
Sorry for becoming inactive yet again. I seem to be having quite a bit of trouble in my fight with depression and stress. It has gotten to the point that I am becoming more and more stressed by the day, and am becoming more easily irritated by all of the stupid little things (such as politics and traffic).
Of course, there are plenty of big things that have been stressing me out as well, like my college degree being discredited, learning of how much the government is screwing me with my student loans for my useless degree, getting an infection in my eye from my job, learning how much my job is screwing me in my wages (I make less than a burger flipper at In n Out), finding out that literally everyone else at my work are paid a shit ton more than me, even the new-hires, and other things.
So yeah, my life is pretty shitty right now.
I'm planning on trying to do school again though, even though I still have no faith in the education system. I guess I just don't see anything else I CAN do.
I just applied at a community college, so perhaps I can get the ball rolling again, and get a new college plan set up. This time I'm shooting to go to an actual university, so perhaps my degree won't end up being useless again. Also, I'm going to try avoiding any more loans, at all costs. So pretty much, I'm going to have to try paying for school completely out of pocket. It looks like the community college will only be about $1000 for each semester, so I can probably handle that with little problem. I'll have to see about having my student loans put on hold or something. University will likely cost a shit ton more than that, but I'll figure that one out when the time comes.
As for my work, I'm going to try having a talk with my employer sometime this week, and try to get a raise. I looked it up online, and a person in my position should be making around $45,000 - $50,000 a year ($21.50 - $24 per hour) and I'm only getting $28,000 a year ($13.50 per hour). I can't even afford to rent a house on this pay! So I'm gonna try to ask for $16 an hour. That's still rather low for my position (especially when there are hundreds of ways I can be killed at this job!), but I might actually be able to FINALLY get my own place again.
Anyway, that's been my life. It fucking sucks...
