so my 48 hour miracle diet quickly turned into the 48 hour chocolate muffin diet, thanks to my neighbor liz! now i'm going to be a blimp in formal wear. hehe sounds hot huh?
on a less fat note...i'm too poor to buy any new accessories for formal so i'm going to utilize what i have here (which is a lot!).
additionally, my life is further crumbling into pieces and i thought about dropping out of school a couple times today. things are way too financially stressful right now, i'm in too much credit card debt, and i am scrounging to pay rent this month. wow i sound like a deadbeat.
i tried to file for my taxes today and my parents are still trying to claim me as a dependent...which is BULLSHIT! they haven't paid for much since i was 15...and haven't paid for ANYTHING in the past two years. legally, in order to claim me as a dependent, they must pay for 51% of my expenses. ha. that's a joke. my mother's trying to argue that she has to claim me for me to be on her health insurance. even though health insurance is not allowed to request or access your tax information, she just wants to be honest. ha.
so here's the breakdown on how i could get screwed for taxes.
if i'm a dependent... i PAY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLLARS
if i'm independent...i GET SEVEN HUNDRED
yeah. see why i'm so angry? i basically told my mom, okay if you want me to be a dependent, then start paying for my school at least.
i'm just so over with things because i work 30 hours a week to pay my bills, i am taking a full load of classes, i'm in a sorority, i'm trying to find time to care about my health and maintain my neglected body....and the hardest part is not hating everyone who gets to enjoy their college experience.
it's hard to study as much as i need when i work either all daytime or all nighttime (on my feet running around)...it's hard to hang out and be social when you're trying to cram in studying and work...and on top of that it's hard to get myself to workout when i'm so exhausted and just want to relax for a damn second.
grrrr. i want another chocolate muffin.
