I'm scared, but I can't live
without working.

Nowhere is this going tosave the students, right?

It's hard to get a part-time job, so the money
I’ve been saving is quickly diminishing.

I only have my mother. It's hard for me
because my mother talks to me every day
about quitting university.
Many of the student benefits are given to
those who live separately from their parents.
Students who live with their parents like me
are being ignored.
Students are not eligible for government’s
support because their income has not been
drastically reduced. It’s so unfair.

I'm afraid to work because of the risk ofinfection, but if I don't work, I won't have anyincome.
I had been working three part-time jobs, but
now they closed their business. To make thesame amount of money, I have to work atnightlife district.

I feel so helpless that I
can’t think or act.

Does the government think
the priority for university
below travel?

The large volume of assignments preventsme from devoting time to take qualifications
and job preparation.

Only university students have to endure it.
We want to take face-to-face classes, see ourfriends and go out.

The companies that I wanted to apply to havestoppedhiringfresh
graduates
simultaneously.
Some people had their job offer cancelled
and chose to go on to higher education
because they had no choice.

Why is the government promoting travel
through GoTo campaign, but we are
restricted from entering campus?
Elementary, middle and high schools are
conducting face-to-face classes. The mass
media is broadcasting about clusters innightlife district, but there are no obligation toclose the business. Why should university
students continue to take the online classes
under the state of emergency?

There's too much work todo. It's not learning, it'sworking.
The university doesn't do the class properly,
but the assignments are massive. Only thetests are face-to-face meeting.
I'm holed up in my room all the time, so I
don't talk to my family as much. I get stressedout.
I don't think the faculty members are able tounderstand the current situation of thestudents.
