What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

So my dad wants me to get a credit card - the one thing I was warned not to do in school - just so he can get 5000 airline points? I'm not sure I want to do that.

Don't. My dad warned me not to get a credit card in college. Get a debit card (if you're able) instead. That's what I did, and I'll admit they are pretty convenient... but a credit card is definitely not a good idea.

Welp, I should probably do this post-lab now instead of putting it off all week again. Seriously, why has this quarter been so damn slow? It's like it takes me two weeks to do anything. lol

Yeah I'm 24 and still have never had a credit card. I almost applied once but eh, I managed. If you can't afford something with your own money then you can't afford it with someone else's. If in doubt, always go without. Etc.

Oddly.. I'm off to apply for one today

Credit cards are a major temptation, so if you don't trust yourself then steer clear. I'm not sure what they are like over there but in the UK they are good for building your credit score up, which later on if you need to take a loan or borrow money your credit card history will help if you've paid the money back on time. Even if you don't use it, it will help :3 That's the reason I'm getting mine anyway I'll buy a few things and have it for emergencies :3

Day two with a cold. It's easier than last time though :3

I have a debit card, that I only use for purchases in college or related to it, such as books. Due to this "limitation", I preferred to have a credit card later on.

I'm glad to know everything went well on his class.

I change my avatar too frequently, and when I do so from my phone it probly looks all pixelly too. The quality always seems weird. Meh, I'll worry about it later, it's sleep time... or it is soon anyhow.

[Marizzle]

Gosh, that got me tired...

[Queen Elsa]

@GG: Yeah. I currently do have a debit card. I don't think I will do it, even though it helps my dad out with flying us kids to camps and other special events. I'm just not taking that risk.

So glad I finally got a full eight hours of sleep again, after having a rough week of getting only a few hours' worth.

The joy and sorrow return after they pull close,
Let’s drift to the dark midnight’s sea,
Tears and scars, everything mixes together,
And you, of pretense, fall into the darkness.......

It looks so nice outside, I don't want to have to work.

I get the impression he's jealous that my life is going well Tough. If I'm happy, I will be happy. Ive worked hard to get here. End of story. Get over it.
