I,m so ready.

Last week I created a budget for college. My budget included food, cable/telephone, electricity, water, and rent bill. I was very surprised to realize how much money I had left over. Everything was alot cheaper because I had a roommate which is my best friend Kia. She was paying half of the rent and I put all the bills on myself because they weren't that expensive. I was also surprised about the scholarships that were provided if qualified from my college. The extra $3,000- $8,000 helped out tremendously.

When it comes to the responsibility I think I could be ready for it. I'm already mature for my age and I know my goal and what I want. Also, with the support from my family and friends I think I will be okay. I'm actually kind of excited to do some things on my own because I feel like that will be a accomplishment for me. Although, I don't mean financially because my parents are going to help me out, I mean keeping everything in order and under control. 

In order for me to get ready for this I need to start looking at my options realistically and making a legit plan to succeed. I will look for a job close to my school that pays more than minimum wage. I will also start applying for desired colleges with my best friend just so everything will be on the same page. Lastly, I will put $50 in a bank account for every paycheck I receive right now in order to get started.
