As I am writing this, i am stressing out on how on earth am i goning to have food to eat by Monday. Ya see, about a year ago I enrolled in Georgia Southern University. I soon signed a contract to a house with two room-mates. Shortly after my mother and my step-dad got a divorce. My slow money problem had just begun and i had no idea where it came from.

I was jobless, in a new city, taken classes and playing videogames. I loved it. College is a blast and an amazing experience i must say. But i soon realized my responsiblities were growing. FYI, i did not get a job until mid 2nd semester.

My mother who supported me all my life even when i had a job which payed amazingly, was a real-estate broker who owned her own business. Many current-event readers know that starting in August of 2006, the real-estate market crashed. This was a huge problem. My mother during the 5 months of my first semester made $15000 dolars. Lets crack some numbers.

$415a month for rent(my house) x 5

$3000 for school

$1000 for food.

Get my point. Not even including my old house expenses and my little brother. Money was a problem and instead of enjoying my college I was wondering what i was going to eat the next day. Thank god for friends.

I soon learn to save my money during that first semester and understanding my responsibilities, i sold my car to help out.

I made it threw by the skin of my teeth.

@nd semester came and I began to rely more on my friends then my mother. My rent got backed up to 3 months owe and if it wasn't for Finacial Aid, i would be homeless. Again I made it threw by the skin of my teeth.

Now I am where I'm at today. I have a job, but me and my mother still can't afford all my cost. It really is a downer when all your hope is put on a loan for $2900 to pay for rent and school which wil be a little over $1000 for the summer. I thank god for what I have but sometimes all i want is to get by. I even put my 360 on ebay just to pay my classes until my mom hacked my account and disable the auction.

Sometimes I wonder why i still go. I know it buts a burden on both me and her but she truely wants to me to go to college. Ya see my older brother was in college for 2 years with an great GPA. He never got the chance to graduate though becuase he was murder in a parking lot of a gas station. I feel like I represent hope for my mom so i don't want to let her down. She is so determine to make me graduate.

Maybe money will find its way to me. I know they say money doesn't buy you happyiness, but I'm sure it can rent me some.
