A Hiatus from Something Important

 Last school year I was suspended for a period of six days after I climbed on top of the roof of the school to film a segment for the Lakeside Viking News. During my house arrest, my grades plummeted in several classes, making me lag behind severely as I struggled to catch up again. It wasn't easy and anxiety was abundant. I managed to lock in, though. Well, more or less. I didn't clutch up in algebra and American English which wasn't fun.

A Time When I Thought I Was Going to Lose My Mind

This most recent breakup has been pretty rough. That sounds crazy, especially coming from me given how this is my sixth (?) go-around with a relationship in the last four years and for whatever reason I still can't seem to get it down pat. Nah, I'm lying, I highkey know the reason. The residuals have just been kinda hard to cope with since I was dating this girl for over a year and it turns out that I was actually way more attached to her than I initially figured when I broke it off between us. It is mostly my fault the way things went down and I can acknowledge that. I'll never be too prideful to admit when I'm in the wrong, internally at least. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I'm pretty sure I have issues with long-term commitment and fidelity. I should talk to a therapist. I miss the girl bad but I know deep down in my heart of hearts that we're better off apart, and that I shouldn't pester her anymore. Being mature is so hard, I swear.

Things I Can do To Stop Myself from Being Poor

 I have no intention of working and/or trying to sustain myself as an independent adult on a minimum wage salary, and thank God I don't have to. My guardians have already expressed their willingness to let me shack up with them for as long as I need to (more or less) until I'm ready to stand on my own two feet, and I already have a job which pays pretty well. $17 is nothing to scoff at, especially not in this economy, and my pay is only expected to rise as my tenure with my job lengthens. I also have little in terms of financial obligations and I have no kids to take care of. All I need to concern myself with right now is stacking my money to the ceiling, something I can do if I ever manage to mature past my chronic spending habit which is the biggest threat to the financial well-being of my future as it stands.
