>> Freaking out about my licensing exam because not at all ready feeling. *not, at , all, ready!* *freakout* <<

*hugs offered* Text anxiety sucks. :(

>> Restless, touch deprived, need to get out. Can't. Not without spending funds I don't have.<<

Bummer. Touch starvation is really hard on mammals.

>> I hate online classes for that. *HATE* <<

Yeah, that's a reason why we need the "least restrictive" education rule.

>> Also? All the cuddle parties in Indy seem to want donations and I'm barely covering myself; I can't spare for anything else right now. :( <<

That sucks too. I've noticed that cuddle parties and buddies started out as a way to meet an unmet need, but quickly turned into an untapped business opportunity, thus almost immediately re-excluding large swaths of people who most need healthy touch but have the hardest time getting it. Seniors, people with disabilities, etc. are frequently poor, so any price tag turns them away.

However, at some point you may have your own place. You could then host cuddle parties of your own.
