I have worked almost my entire adolescence. I have been babysitting/mothers helping since I was around 12. Which seems really young looking back on it now but I have always been really mature for age. So a few months after I turned 16 I got a job and started saving up to buy a car. When it was time for me to get a car I didn't have a lot of money. I had enough to lease a car but it couldn't be in my name. So my car is leased under my mom's name and I made the car payments my senior year of high school. Having a car was crucial in working and gave me independence that I never truly valued until I got to college.
I knew I wasn't allowed to have my car on campus because the university wants us freshies to become involved in clubs on campus and be a part of the campus community. It was fine for maybe the first few days but honestly I felt completely stuck I hated not having a car and when I went home I drove as much as I could because I didn't have that luxury at school. Not having my car was a pain because doing large shopping at the food store and schlepping all of my packages onto the bus and then carrying them back to my dorm. Taking public transportation is free with my student ID card but the buses restricted where I shopped due to where the bus stops are in relation to the location of certain stores, mainly Target. (Side note: I am obsessed with Target and at home I go there at least once a week).
Not going to places in the city where I go to was annoying but going home by bus annoyed the crap out of me. It takes so much longer to get home by bus than by car. I also have to plan trips at certain times related to when the buses leave throughout the day. I knew I wanted to bring my car up at the end of the year because I was sick and tired of buses. There are several hotels directly across the street from my school and so I thought I would just park my cars in there and hopefully they wouldn't notice. My mom, being a mom, wasn't too thrilled with this idea. As it turned out, luck was on my side.
I had an abnormal mole on my stomach that I got biopsied back in January and it came back not precancerous but still concerning. My mom did some research and the type of abnormal cells could turn precancerous so she made an appointment with a cancer doctor who specializes in dermatology. He wanted to remove the area around the mole and so he cut out a pretty decent chunk from my stomach and now I have six stitches. I was given strict instructions to not take part in any strenuous activity for two weeks so I took advantage of this opportunity to get my car on campus with a medical excuse. My mom, being awesome, spoke to the medical director of my school and I now have a pass to have my car on campus for the rest of year. This will make my many trips to Target easier and also traveling home because it 100% more time conducive. I really am so happy to have my car on campus.
Ta ta,
