Day Three:
God, what a distressing time.
Money is truly the root of all evil, especially in my case when money is so tempting to spend.
Overdrawn $240 this time over both of my accounts.
Yes, I am hopeless.
This would be something if it were the first time, but, of course, it isn't.
So I have decided that I'm leaving my debit card at home from now on and just taking, at most, $20 with me wherever I go.
I need to learn a little control, which brings me to
Day Four:
Tests and paper and procrastination.
All of these things, unfortunately, do not mix.
I need to learn to put school first and everything else second.
I haven't been doing that since I was probably in kindergarten, where my main priority was to write my name.
But I do thank them for that because I love to write my name.
Anyhow, I see some serious potential in myself for this when I surround myself with people who encourage me to study as opposed to going out to eat and spending large sums of money that I don't have that will only make my account, you guessed it, overdrawn!
So in this respect, the adult one, I guess that I just need to grow up.
Step one is taking responsibility, which I always try to do, and I can do that easily.
The next part is learning when not to spend, which be only anything other than gas and food, and when to say, "Sorry, I can't hang out any time soon because I actually need to consider my grades."
Being smart would help too.
I need brains.
Everyone knows that a zombie in possession of brains is only in want to more brains.
