That's when the irony hit me...

don't look back, all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before...

title: Don't Look Back by She & Him
so i had one of those great life experiences today that hit me like a ton of bricks. i got screwed over by a credit card. i got it so i could buy a computer which i desparately needed and ended up borrowing my dad's for the semester. i never used the card. when the person on the phone was talking to me to activate the card they tacked on a bunch of fees. so basically i'm being charged like thirty bucks a month for a card i've never used, and won't use. i missed a payment because the statements are mailed to my house, not school so i got charged another thirty-five. i now owe $76 dollars. i'm unemployed.

my mom is going to help me but i feel so dumb. i started crying when i called her because i'm embarassed. this is so dumb and it's totally my fault.

i'm done with credit cards. i have the one from my bank that i can manage online. otherwise i'm finished.

I hate to be rude, but in the grand scheme of horrible things that can happen when having a credit card, or not reading the fine print, or missing a payment...this isn't so bad. I know it must seem terrible to you since it is your first experience in having someone take advantage of you. I'd definitely suggest getting some tougher skin soon though.

SH2nn0n: i don't know you, so if you're going to be rude, don't say anything. i wrote this RIGHT after it happened. this blog is a place for me to record my thoughts as they happen and that's what this is. don't patronize me.
