He’s great, but the people here are awful. Outside of our group of friends, everyone here is really self-absorbed, things are retardedly expensive, and everyone drives like an asshole.
Perhaps, because I am from the south, I don’t quite mesh here, but I could swear up and down there is nothing but rudeness and hubris. AND, everybody’s extremely politically correct- and aggressive about it. If you move( to LA, at least), expect a good number of people to have their heads up their own asses… just a warning.

How I did it: Paid off what I needed to, and contested what wasn't right on my report. I saved and paid, saved and paid. And, eventually it was over with. I recommend doing it because it's pretty nice not to owe anyone anything. Read how I did it…
How I did it: ...very stupidly. haha. I got hitched, I suppose knowing deep down it wasn't what I wanted. Prentended to be happy because that's what I thought everyone else wanted... and hated every minute of married life. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Stop obsessing over that guy... you know... the only reason you're on it 50 times a day to begin with... Once I stopped obsessing over Mr. Unavailable... I stopped hopping on facebook. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
My city is really hard to find employment in, but I need to do it in order to get my finances straight so I can take a trip to Sydney to see my friend.
Just as well, I have aspirations of studying abroad, so I need to make saving (another goal of mine) a priority.
Unfortunately…money does not grown on trees- so I clearly need a job, stat!
