    So college life is expensive, we all know this, obviously. Your little part time job ad a barista is barely paying your rent, let alone food, bills, and clothes. You tried picking up a second job but your schedules kept clashing and it became a real life or death kind of choice…you picked life, aka sticking with one job that you can manage. It’s been a real struggle, one that you can’t keep dealing with everyday of your life. This led to an…interesting deep dive, you know that joke about becoming a stripper or becoming a camstar for money…not so much of a joke anymore. Turns out they make tons of money from even doing the barest of minimum and…since you don’t have the upper body strength of a stripper…it seems like camstar would just work out better for you. And…you’d earn a little more…if you maybe had a partner. This is the pitch you gave Xiao just now, one attempting to convince him to join you in this new endeavor. You’ve been friends for a while now but even so it’s still one of the most awkward conversations to date, it’s a bold one albeit bug considering he’s having the same money struggles as you it’s…worth a shot. Xiao looks at you, a deadpan expression across his face as he processes what you just said. “…Are you insane?”
