This post will just be talking about myself, so if you'd rather not know... then don't read. =]
I feel like I am slowly taking tiny steps into the world of less dependence. I said "less dependence" because I know for sure that I am nowhere close to complete independence yet (sadly). For a long while now, I have been relying less and less on my parents financially. I pay for my own bills and miscellaneous expenses: cellphone, credit cards, gas, and whatever else I choose to indulge myself (usually shopping and fine dining). However, I feel like I took another baby step these past couple months. I paid for my own trip expenses, car registration (yay!), and part of my tuition fees. In the next few weeks, I will be cashing out on the rest of my tuition fees, text books, prescriptions (contact lenses, eye glasses, etc), and more trips. I know I whine about having so much to pay for and using my credit cards more than I should, but I feel alright for some reason. It must be that feeling of ease knowing that I am slowly taking off some burdens from my parents' shoulders. It's a really, really good feeling, and I just have to give myself a pat on the back.
YAY me! :D
