I'm so scared. :( I'm finishing up my graduate program and my job right now is a nonpaying internship. I live on student loans and savings. I'm terrified I won't have a job when I graduate in May. I'm so so scared, and don't have a SO or much family or friends here for comfort. (Maybe why I'm on YT so much these days -- you guys are wonderful)
Sometimes it's hard for me to figure out what's a need and a want. I drink bottled water (I buy the cheap gallon bottles, not the fancy bottles) b/c my apt bldg is old and the water is sometimes brown, which I'm not sure having a PUR filter would make any more appealing. I haven't gone to the movies in 2 years and my shopping is limited to ebay or craiglist as much as possible. Something that seems frivolous is that I keep lots of a lights on in the room I'm in and the rooms adjacent. Living in the northeast after growing up in the south, it really makes me blue when it's cold and gets dark so early (as early at 3:45-4p some days in December). I'll skimp on heat, but waste electricity. I think for my sanity, I'll continue to do it, but I feel bad about it. I use the energy saver bulbs, but a lot of them for all my lights. :confused: |
