<prompt> Human: Im a mechanical engineering student at a good Engineering school University of California, Irvine. I spent most of my time on studying, listening to self-improvement audiobooks, and going to the gym four times a week. I watch one TV episode once a week on average, and that is something I enjoy. I take salsa classes once a week at our college and I love it. I go out once a week but that does not make me feel independent. Thats the thing, I feel dependent on my parents who can provide me with enough money for my rent and living expenses, for which I am grateful, but nothing much more, i.e, money for entertainmenthobbies. I havent traveled in six years. I have this urge to feel independent and I feel the best way to feel so is by travelling and having a studio of my own instead of a sublease. My GPA is 3.84, Il be graduating in March 2019, and Im looking for internships. Im fairly confident that I should get one next summer because Im ready to go to career fairs and apply to internships posted on the schools job-board, just like I did this year. But next year Ill be a Junior and the experience I earned from trying and failing taught me a lot on how to talk to recruiters and what they are looking for. I commute to school 30 minutes everyday and Im not part of a club at my school. I stopped eating out 2 months ago and that helps me cut on unnecessary costs. But I want to experience the joy of my young age and college life, so Im thinking to pay an extra 500month to live on campus and get my own studio, the cost for which my father can cover. Im also thinking of joining the improve club at our school next year, since I both like silliness and creativity. I have no students loans for now. Taking a student loan will also make it easier for my father since he is not completely secure financially, i.e, his money can run out in 2-3 years. Should I get a student loan of 5,000 to travel? Till I graduate, can I get a student loan to up to 10,000, 20,000 to make it easier for me to enjoy life and satisfy my needs to feel independent by getting my own room and have money for hobbies, while decreasing some of the burden Im posing on my father? Whats the best way to increase my happiness now while not doing a financial mistake?  <response>: No, you can travel when you have a real job.
