today marks the first day of adulthood for me. i officially got my first credit card, with the intentions of building some good credit before i graduate from school. i've watched roommates and friends make mistakes regarding credit cards and i plan to avoid temptation at all costs. it's basically just designated for groceries and gas, things i buy monthly anyways and have the money to pay for already. one step towards growing up.
on another note, my car sucks at life, never buy a dodge. the air conditioning is now broken for the SECOND time, of course just in time for august with temps surpassing 100 degrees. i refuse to put any more money into this car seeing as i'm just going to get rid of it when i graduate. i wish i could just trade it in and get something else, but it's paid for, and no monthly car payment is a good thing...i just have to hold out for a couple years.
it's difficult for me to speak to my mother lately. everything we end up talking about leads to money, which she gives me none of. it's cheaper for me to be away at school because she doesn't pay for anything and i'm not eating her food and taking up space in her house. a college student should be able to call home and ask for money, but when i call my mother, i know i wont see anything. she simply tells me to get a second job, thanks. i feel like school is a full time job, and i work every weekend on top of that. i don't really know what else she expects. my dad, however, is so generous when he doesn't necessarily have the room to give money away. i really respect and admire what a good person he is. he may have different beliefs and ways of life that are far from the norm of society but he is a goodhearted man. i hope to grow up to be more like him than my mom.
