My First Sin Was The Fear That Made Me Old

the53:

This one’s going to go a long way.

I did graduate with a bit of debt, but it could have been worse considering about half of my tuition was paid for by grants and scholarships. I am working 30+ hours a week in order to pay back my loans and I pay all of my bills on time. I am also working on my Master’s Degree and paying for that, as well. I wonder about those Wall Street protesters…they must not have a job. To be able to spend all of that time standing on the street? Must be nice.

I get the point of it. Trust me, I do. I graduated with a liberal arts degree and I knew going out that finding a sustainable job was never going to be easy. I’m working on it…slowly but surely. I am looking for internships to do to gain experience. And I’ll continue to work at my current shitty-paying job to make ends meet. 

I don’t withhold myself from most things. I’m never starving. I like to go out and I do, but not frequently. I save my money for things. I’m not impulsive.

I hope I’m doing what’s right. And I have high hopes for this person in the photo. A fellow comrade-in-arms.
