Bills...Why Me!

Well, I been having difficulty paying my bills, I guess is due to the fact that I currently don’t have a real job. I do have work study but that’s barely enough to cover one of my bills. Regardless of that I’m still responsible for paying my cell-phone and credit-card bills. At first it was definitely manageable, but after I couldn’t make a payment to my credit-card it all changed.

During the last week of August 2008 I purchased a brand new phone with T-Mobile the Sidekick LX, I had it for only a week before it was stolen from me at my job. I was so angry mainly because it was my last shift and someone robbed me? Someone I work with robbed me? I never found out who did it. Well, the same day I cancelled my contract with T-Mobile because they made it difficult for me to get a new phone and I was pissed. The following day I was at the mall and decided to get the iPhone with AT&T. That’s when it all started.

I didn’t realize how high my bill was going to be 92$ was a lot of money but I was still making my payments on time. My credit card bill kept getting higher and higher because I kept paying it late and they charged me over the limit fees and what not. It’s pretty bad now, because I didn’t make my last payment and its affecting big time!

I have to pay my cell phone bill on the 28th of this month and I’m not sure I’m going to make the payment again. My phone has been disconnected twice already because I kept paying weeks later. I do get paid this Friday from work-study but I’m using that whole check to pay whatever I can towards my credit card. My credits already starting to get bad and that’s definitely not good I rather go without a cell phone for a lil while. I need to get my credit back to how it was during the summer.

I hate being and adult…sometimes.

It's Kind of Difficult

Balancing school work and social life may be easy for some people, but for me it’s one of those difficult tasks that I have trouble handling. I’m a very social person so I love getting involved with whatever I can on campus, off campus, and anything that involves interacting with people. It’s kind of a problem when you have 3 papers due the same week you are trying to attend the club or party.


That’s pretty much what I have been dealing with lately. I have been struggling with my school work, something that I was trying to avoid this semester. I was supposed to be focused 100% in my school work but I have been slipping into my old habits and now I’m busting my butt trying to catch up.


At the moment I’m concentrated in my school work and just keeping my social life under the radar. I haven’t been doing anything big campus and I haven’t been going out. I been staying in and focusing on my school work which is now and again my number one priority.


Remember, balancing these two lifestyles is difficult but it is also possible to keep it under control.

Dorm Life... at Central

Well, I think I maybe the only upperclassman in this class, so I am probably the only one who lives in the Central Dorms/Apartments. Well i can start by saying the I love it there. Yes, it's a bit more expensive than the alternative which is Bates, but it is well worth it.

My roommates and I chose each other because we are all pretty much friends. Its great living with people you are already friends it. Its not at all awkward as living in the freshmen dorms. I love the way our apartment is set-up! We have a full kitchen (with a dishwasher), a living room, 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms! During the nice weather we have central air so the AC is a nice hit. Don't worry during that heat is always on blast also!

I feel like living in Central was the right choice for me is much more relaxed, than the more party-driven Bates. But, my roommates and I rather have that calmer and more relaxed environment.
