It's official...I am a poor college student. Seems like I owe money EVERYWHERE but my bank account and it's getting super annoying. I need an extra 2 day/week job but that is impossible to find because everyone wants people to work like 4 or 5. Might go to Home Depot this week and apply. They pay well.
