Life gets unknowingly complicated once you get out of high school. High school sucks; cliques run amok, you have to wake up at an ungodly hour just to get forcefed lies, useless information and bad lunch, and you are consumed by pressure. Unfortunately, as much as high school is full of insecurities, it’s the most secure you’ll ever be. It cloaks you from the real world, and as much as teachers and guidance counsellors try to prepare you for it, it doesn’t even remotely come close.
How do you survive growing up? I’ll give you a few tips so that you won’t want to spend every day weeping like a two-year-old over a broken toy.
The first bit of advice I can give you is to be wise with your money. Especially in this economy, living is expensive. You like driving? Your car needs repairs and maintenance. You like food? That costs money too. You like having fun once in a while? That also puts a dent in your wallet. So, don’t over indulge; a Playstation 3 can always wait. Eat at home a lot (it’s way cheaper), don’t buy stuff unless you need it, and if you acquire a credit card, don’t go hog wild. However, don’t entirely deprive yourself either. Once in a while, treat yourself to a good show, or a movie, or some new clothes, but have self-control.
