I was approved for my apartment. All by myself. I don't need Pops to guarantor, which I would not have taken it if it required it. Might sound immature, but I just want an apartment in my name. Not Dad's. Not someone else's because I'm subletting. My name. My lease. My changing of address because I am obligated to live there for longer than any commitment I've ever made in my life.
... That last part is kind of sad.
But this will be the very first big thing solely in my name. My car was in my Dad's name. My student loan, co-signed by my Dad. I'm very thankful for everything he's ever done for me, but I just want to be free. (LET ME OUT OF THE BASEMENT ALREADY, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! LOL) I want my financial responsibilities to say just my name.
And whew. I just got the call. The girl was very nice, very informative, and very happy for me. No "are you sure you can afford this"? And now I think I'm going to hyperventilate. Possibly die.
I can't believe it. I'm going to have my own place. My own kitchen, my own livingroom, my own bathroom and closets and bedroom. My own balcony. And really, when you have your own balcony? Nothing else matters. I dream of growing damn tomatoes on my balcony. AND BY GEORGE, I WILL HAVE THEM!
...I don't even care I need another job just to afford food. Hahaha.
