I am cursing being what some may deem a “mature adult” at this one moment, as I have just decided that I will forgo my wondrous dream car, at least for now, in order to pay for school. I have spent the last several hours online and on the phone trying to deal with the nightmare that is FAFSA, only to realize that no one seems to know exactly what they’re talking about, and I’m pretty sure that the deadlines have just expired, leaving me screwed and a little lost.
Then suddenly moments ago it all became clear to me, I don’t need loans, I’m going to pay for this out of pocket. I’ve been saving for this car for quite a while, and I’m going to be working my ass off all summer so at the very least I can have all my tuition for this next year at OSU saved up by summers end.
At this point this may be the most sensible thing I have ever chosen to to do to date, and it makes me a little nauseous frankly.
So goodbye glorious Crossfire, my sexy little convertible roadster. While I have lusted after you for many months now, I’ve wanted to attend Ohio State longer, so unfortunately, you get put on the back burner. I’m sorry my love, I’m so sorry.
I guarantee that once you graduate and are looking for a big girl job you will not regret this decision.
