Broke.

Lesson of the day: "that purse isn't worth it, I only have two hundred and some dollars in my bank account." I feel broke, I am broke.

I am a college student. In high school I would have felt rich but now I don't. I have textbooks to buy next week and a balance on my student account that I need to pay off. It's just not fair that you can't just rent your textbooks or have a class set of them like you did in high school.

I have been wanting a new purse for a while now but have not been able to rationalize the purchase. The purse I carry now says, "Look at me, I'm a 16-year-old girl!" I need something that says I am a "young", sophisticated adult. I just wish that the purses that said that didn't have such a big price tag. I also wish I could buy all the books that I wanted, but that can't happen either because I have to buy textbooks. How crummy.

The good news, I have thirty-six hours at work next week. I'll probably be able to buy a purse when I get paid next, yay! It'll be my birthday present to myself.
