Yay! I'm so impatient though and I'd LOVE to get a Macbook like, ASAP. lol.
Thing is, me getting one now, I'm going to have to be real tight with my
money for the next month or so, which is hard for me. But I'm thinking it
will be worth it. I've wanted one for sooo long. I might just be "irresponsible"
and "waste" all my money on a Macbook Pro, LOL. Of course, I know it won't
really be a waste.

It would be a lot cheaper for me to just get the regular Macbook. With my college
discount and my gift card, it'd be $749 to get the regular Macbook. Also, with discount and card, it'd be $900 to get the Macbook Pro. I'm just debating on
whether it's worth it, I think in the long run it may be better to just go Pro

I know either one would serve you well, but if you can possibly go for the MB Pro, do it cause for the small extra amount of $$, you will be getting a top of the line product that will probably serve you better and longer, and will also have higher resale value if you ever go to sell it and get something else.
