Chapter 1: The Beginning
Kathrine Port
My world is a never-ending nightmare of...bills bills bills... ugh! lights $257.00, rent $550.00, phone bill $157.38. Fuck! I would sing destiny's child bills right now if my situation wasn't so completely fucked up.
I just graduated from Community College this year, I passed on the scholarship that would have sent me to Penn state university. I knew the odds weren't in my favor at keeping
up the payments, if I'm being completely honest the shit wasn't the least bit free in my opinion, take away what they cover then when you add up the fees for books, other fees, and other expenses not even the cost of room and bored, it will amount to thousands of dollars. Plus I wanted to focus on all my work, and not stress out over working or missing a payment the moment the money ran out. To face facts that wouldn't have taken long, $80 to $110 for a book and not a few books just two sad books. Not to mention I needed a new laptop. Fucking hell. My new favorite word of the day. So yeah, no thanks. I know most people think I'm crazy for passing up the opportunity for higher education, but I don't give a damn. I believe it's not where you go it's how you learn or something like that, even though people will think that's crap I don't care. I'm okay with community college. I got my MBA degree in 4 years. I graduated high school a year early and now I'm finished college at 20 years old. I have a degree in
computer and finance. Boom bitch lol, So answer me this. Why the hell am I struggling to get a job? This is all I need, I have been out of school for 2½ weeks, I got a job at a 7 Eleven that paid 11 dollars an hour, I had money saved when I was in school so I got myself a cheap-ass "all I could find" apartment. Well, 500 a month for 1 bedroom was as cheap as I could get and they tag you with a 50 dollar late fee. Oh and I had to pay lights separately, so that was another bill
added, now they have maintenance
fees ughhh. When I wasn't working I looked for another job, I applied for 20 Plus internships and I haven't heard from
anyone of them. So weird like my luck was dumb gone.
