I plan on driving down in person this Wednesday so I can finally get it settled. No more calling, or worrying, or attempting finance plans with money I may or may not have :P

How I did it: Momentum and steely determination. I was pursuing this goal alongside "pay down my debt"... which means I had little to no free time, no social life, and was stressed to the max. However, I will always do whatever it is that needs to be done in order to reach where I need to be. That said, I will never do this again. By that, I mean working two jobs, participating in the reserves, and having a long distance relationship all while striving… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I lived with my father, worked 6-7 days a week(2 jobs) since July, and stuck to my budget. Keeping in mind that I started school full time in August, the schedule was Hell. But it's worth it. So worth it.Now all I need to do is stay afloat, come out even through Xmas and then I can start building my savings.Exciting!Almost. I feel like my batteries are dead; I need to recharge. Perhaps next semester. Read how I did it…
I was turned down for both of the scholarships I applied to. I’m actually really surprised. I was so sure I was the only applicant to at least one of them.
Oh well. There’s always next year, as well as the ones offered outside of my school. I’ll get something eventually!
After realizing how silly I was being I went to the site and filled out the form online. If I’m approved, I officially have dental insurance as of next month! Exciting, because I really need a cleaning!
