1ST DAY OF CLASS

Hurrah today was the first day of the last semester... Or maybe not hurrah cause I am dreading the day when I get home. But its okay, I had the chance to experience something amazing.

I only had one class today at 8 FREAKING AM and I am so tempted to kill it out of my schedule. As soon as my professor uttered the words "group project", "presentation to the office of something something", and what made me wanna barf in the middle of class was all the readings and essays omg am I actually going to have to WORK for this??!!

Just another day in me being a brat,

Then I went home and slept the ENTIRE day. Oh! And YOU on Netflix is amaaaazinggg like holy shit I love it! I am watching it as I am typing this right now.

Today I failed at saving money. I bought a 5$ bag of chips and then had food delivered to my house. T.T. Its okay, I have a shift tomorrow and I'll just work an extra hour and a half to make up for it.

Trying to limit my shopping

In the spirit of saving money, I am going to limit my shopping.

I have always loved to shop. In my first year of university, I think I shopped almost every single week whether its on Amazon or Target or Sephora. And most of the time, it was just to have fun! I think at that time, my rent so low (270$) that it really left me with lots of leftover money.

But now, I am paying 399$ a month on rent which is wayyy more than what I used to pay. Gas and water is included in that though, so that actually evens it out a little bit but still... I saw a picture shared by Dave Ramsey and he said that 25% of your income should go into housing. I think I spend about 37%, depending on how many hours I worked in my part-time job. Then again, I don't pay for insurance, or a car, or health, so 37% sounds about right. But shopping is so compulsive and unnecessary. It clutters and makes me feel like shit afterwards. So no more compulsive shopping and that includes food delivery!

I think another really important lesson I learnt in the past year is that I don't have to go on vacation so much. I really much rather stay at this home I spent so much money decorating, with the internet I pay so much monthly, and the gas that is already included in rent.

But sometimes I do get jealous when I see pictures on instagram. It just seems so fun!!! T.T And I just seem so lame for sitting at home.

Then you know what's even not so fun and lame? BEING A BROKE ASS BISS. Honestly, its just pressure and jealousy that's making me go on these expensive vacations. I just wanna brag about how much money I can spend when I don't have money to spend. Its so stupid cause I should've started saving earlier and worked more instead.

And that's how I comfort myself. However since I've been so good and not travelling, I am saving up to go to Chicago for spring break and that should be fun! I've already been to Chicago but this time, I think its gonna be more of a relaxing trip than a explore the city kind of trip. The plan is to rent out an amazing Airbnb and chill with good food, and think of it as a treat.

New Year, New Me

In 2016, I spent new years in San Francisco. In 2017, I spent new years in New York. Today, I am spending new years at Columbus, OH and it feels SO GOOD to do nothing all day long. 

That sums up my entire winter break.

Last night, I slept at 6.30am, which is a new record for me. I spent 6 hours on YouTube watching  youtuber called Aja Dang talk about her student loan debt. I really like watching financial videos while being financially a hot mess but she inspired me to make more money! So here's another goal for 2019: WORK MORE. I don't know if she said this but its better to make more money than have to cut spending so here we go.

Also! Something really annoying has been going on for an entire week: I DO NOT HAVE CONTACT LENSES AKA LIFE.

It all started when I was washing my last pair of contact lens at my toilet sink when it fell and was swept away into the drain. So then I tried to buy new ones at lens.com while crying cause that shit ain't cheap. Then they told me a few days later that they'll ship it like two weeks later which is the most ridiculous shit I have ever heard in customer care history! #dramaticbish

So I cancelled and ordered new ones on Lenscrafters with next day shipping. But that shit wasn't shipped till todayyyyy and so I chatted with the most unhelpful customer service representative who told me to email someone else and I know I'm being an entitled spoiled bitch and complaining about nothing but its just so frustrating cause I feel like I am living the real life Bird Box cause I can't see shit and my glasses are shit and I'm just so poor to get new glasses gahbkjna,dnnde help.

Ok calm down biss you're fine.

Anyways.

I emailed them and am waiting for a reply and I hope hope hope that it goes through.
