Money Rant

Hey so I just wanted to rant a little to you guys. Money. So I know I'm low on money, very low in fact, but does that mean that I don't pitch in where I can when I can? No. Does that mean I don't do things around the house so mom doesn't have to? No. Does that mean I need to be sat down for a ten minuet lecture about how as of next week I will be limited on when I can drive and how long I can stay out? Hell No! Okay I know that I need to pitch in around the house because my parents, out of the goodness of their hearts, haven't kicked me to the curb yet. And praise god I am allowed to wake up at 7 in the morning every Sunday to go to a church that is gracious enough to understand that I needed a year off to collect myself and really think about what I am doing in my life because heaven above knows I have everything sorted now.

*&#@ !!! (   <-- That's a curse word   )

I'm 19 years old, living with my parents, trying to balance school and a boyfriend (which has turned into basically a full time job) not to mention trying to keep the house clean so my mom doesn't have to worry about cleaning and watering the plants and sweeping the pool and washing dishes every night. My room is a mess because my free time is spent doing homework. The money I have goes towards food so my parents don't have to feed me throughout the week, whatever I have left goes towards gas for the truck (which by the way, dad, yes I do put my own money into that gas tank, why do you think I don't tell you every time I fill up? I don't want you to worry about having to pay for every single gallon in there).

Every night I try to be asleep by 11:00, but that rarely happens. Often on Monday and Sunday I end up at my boyfriends place and we hang out until 9:30, 10:00.
The whole point of this is to tell you guys that I keep a regular schedule and that I generally know what happens in my day to day life, and yes, I do leave at 7 in the morning so I can pick up my boyfriend for his class at 8 in the morning even though I don't have class until 9:30. He stays at a friends house on those days and his friend lives on the way to school. I'm headed that way anyways and I don't see the problem with it. Doesn't that just mean I care about my boyfriend? I would do that for most of my friends if they lived between me and the school. My parents are always on my about getting up early because I waste the day away sleeping, so getting up early is what they wanted but now I have a reason to, they get pissed off at me for it. I don't understand. Yes, he moved and now lives 40 minuets away by car, it's a 25 minuet drive if you take the freeway the whole way. Yes, I need a job, I put in 3 more applications today though and even if I don't fill those out right in front of you, I still do them so get off my back, parents! Yes, you had a job at 16, good for you, but this isn't the 70s anymore, this is 2013 and times have certainly changed.
Girls can pay for half of the date now and it is considered okay. Girlfriends drive their boyfriends places when they don't have a vehicle, not all guys have a car! Just because you don't see someone doing something doesn't mean they aren't doing it! And yes, you can take that however you want to!
All of this just goes to say that I am trying to get a job, I am putting my own money towards gas, I don't just taxi my boyfriend around, Yes (oh my god people please stop asking me this) I do still have feeling for my boyfriend, no I have no idea where my cellphone charger is (sorry love...), yes I am still best friends with my best friend even though we don't talk and text all of the time because it is possible to be best friends even if you're not constantly communicating, and last but not least no I have not yet set up an appointment with a college counselor to discuss the upcoming semester even though everyone has been on my case about it!

Sorry, I know this one was long and there was a lot you guys probably missed because of its personal nature, but next blog should be more upbeat and happy and about Halloween. Hopefully. Until next time, guys, stay awesome!
