Today was definitely a day that I was not looking forward to doing. I decided that today I was gonna clean my entire room. Lets just say I started at 8 AM and ended at 6:30 PM. I'm not the most neatest person so when I decided to do this, I knew that I was going to be in it for a while. I color coded my entire closet... that took so long to do. It was all worth at the end because my room is now spotless!
Cleaning my room also is a stress reliever for me. All of you know I'm a big procrastinator (which I am working on not being). Even though I am a procrastinator, when something needs to be done I can't stop thinking about it. It's just an alarm in my head. "CLEAN YOUR ROOM, FINISH YOUR SUMMER ASSIGNMENT, READ YOUR BIBLE." Over and over and over again, non stop. To help this, I am gonna work on not procrastinating this year. I say this every starting school year but I have to be more serious about it since I'm going to junior year with a job. My schedule will probably be Monday through Friday from 4-8, Saturday 10-2 and Sundays I babysit from 7:30 AM to 6: PM. That leaves me about 2 hours on the week days to do homework, eat, shower and then go to bed. It's gonna be a struggle but I have to do it if I want a car.
People think since I live in a "big house" that I am rich and get everything I want when really it's the exact opposite. I have to work for every single thing I want. Even if I just need $20 to go out with friends, that's a whole week of chores for me. I have to save up my own money and buy myself a car. At this rate, I'll be lucky to get a car senior year in all honesty. Y'all are gonna see me pull up in a taped up car with a missing bumper, missing headlights, and non working windows. I just want a car that can get me from point A to B reliably.
Out with the old Ava, in with the new Ava. Hopefully I can get my crap together this year and make good grades, work, and save money for a car. By the way, if you invite me to hang out, I'll probably say no because I'm going to be as cheap as I can be for the next year probably. Need to get good money habits and not spend every cent I earn. Out with the old, in with the new.
I love seeing the spirit of a teenager adapting to real world struggles(I say, stressed and sobbing). I can definitely relate to the struggle you’re having to go through to get the things a lot of high schoolers are just given. I’ll admit, my family isn’t that fortunate in the money department. I’ve never had to get a job to support my family, but I’m also desperate for something to sober me up from this childhood bliss.
ReplyDeleteI’ll be getting a hand-me-down truck from my mom once I actually learn to drive, since I’m a no-good lazy bum. That was a big goal this summer that I never really achieved.
I’m wishing you the best of luck to get your dream-mobile. It’s honestly what you deserve.
