COLLEGE BUDGET

I think that the biggest thing that had to open my eyes wide would be the amount of money it takes just between living on your own. IT IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY!! I honestly expected that the apartment would be pretty high because of being so close to town. But,  I did not expect though to spend as much as I thought I would just living on my own either (not saying that I am cheap) . Many realizations came to my mind about how expensive college will be once I get there it truly is unbelievable on how much you spend just on trying to make it through while trying to go to school to get a WAY better job and to follow your dreams. I now know that it is seriously crunch time, I need to focus on where I want to go to college, plan on how much money I need, start saving money and take my ACT and SAT.
