<prompt> Human: Im a 23 yo college student living independently in a 2-bedroom apt. in Oakland, CA paying 525 in rent for a semi-private living room plus roughly 50 per month in utilitiesinternet in a 1900 2-bed apt. I currently have about 175 to my name with no savings or valuable assets to speak of. My approximate monthly budget is hereI moved to Oakland in late January after living with family for a year with about 3000 with the intention of getting a job right away so I would at least have a small emergency fund. However, due to some personal issues including drug abuse weed and hallucinogens and depression, Ive essentially spent the last 2 months in my room sleeping, surfing the Internet, and generally avoiding almost all coursework or finding a job. The only thing I did with any regularity was go to class and even then I skipped some. I recently threw out my drug stash and am taking other steps toward overcoming my psychological issues.Heres my current situation: My 525 rent is due on April 5th and I dont have a job yet. I dont know if Ill be able to earn enough before then to pay my rent and still have enough to live. Ive applied for food stamps but since Im a full-time student I dont qualify in CA until Im working 25 hours per week. Im flunking two of my four classes and am planning on dropping those which could impact my financial aid next year. Getting financial help from friends or family isnt a possibility for me at this point. If I drop out of school right now I would owe my university 15,000 in addition to about 30k in student loans with no degree to show for it. Ironically if I drop in early April I might not owe anything other than the loans I took out but I wouldnt owe the money to my university, just my loan servicer but I digress. In other words, I would owe 40k in student debt but have the ability to pay it off normally to the fed.Im pretty confident I can get a job within the next week as long as I hustle but I dont know if it will be enough in time. My first priority is tackling my drug habit and mental health but beyond that as far as I can tell I currently have the following potential options:1. Find a job ASAP my roommate who I pay rent to each month if I can use my 700 security deposit as my rent for April and then pay it back once Ive consistent income. I doubt this will work2. Move home to family or friends if theyll take me in and help find a replacement roommate if necessary and thats somewhat doubtful at this point.3. Find a job ASAP and pay the rent a few daysweeks late but screw my roommates over in the process since me paying the rent late makes us all late since we all lease together. I would have to pay a late fee of 50.4. Worst case scenario 1: Continue going to school part-time while temporarily homeless. Thanks in advance for any advice or help!Update: Thanks for the thoughtful advice everyone! This is why I love this subreddit so much. Im about 90 sure Im going to move home next weekend at this point, take a leave of absence from school and work full-time while addressing my personal issues. One step at a time...  <response>: Move home to familyfriends. Youre suffering from depression and the substance abuse isnt helping. Your first priority should be to deal with those. I was homeless in the Bay Area and it is NOT something I would recommend.
