This is my list

I promised that I would not use this blog to be negative, but I'm almost having a mental breakdown, so bear with me as I vent. The unemployment office has suspended my benefits for a 2nd time because I'm a student. As I previously mentioned it took over a month for me to get my money. I was in better shape back then because I still had someone else paying my credit card bill. Not so this time, my credit card expired in July and I was not gifted another one. So, I'm seriously broke. I am going to the office again tomorrow to try and clear things up so that I don't have to wait as long for my benefits, but the people at the office really don't care, so they like to take their sweet time.
Anyways, here is a list of things I need that I cannot afford.

1. Haircut and highlights
My hair is so unprofessional looking right now, I think it is at least part of the reason I haven't found a job yet
2. New tires
My old ones are old, I also would like to get the air-conditioning fixed in my car, but that is definitely not a priority
3. A laptop
Being in school it would be helpful if I could take my computer with me wherever I choose to study instead of using my dad's desktop until 3am and getting yelled at the next day for waking him up when I went downstairs
4. Car insurance
I won't have to renue until October, but thinking ahead I'm not sure how I am going to afford the $500 I'll have to pay
5. Textbooks
Again, this won't come up until October, but I will need to buy another textbook at the beginning of the month, so there's another $100+ I need to come up with
6. Medical expenses
I have medical expenses that I haven't paid since I got laid off because I haven't had the funds, I'm nervous that the bills are going to go in to collections

Oh boy, I've got a lot to pay for in the next couple months. Even with the job I was working at Robbins Bros. that would be hard for me to cover everything. I really don't want to quit school so soon after I started, but that would definitely alleviate some of my financial woes. Why couldn't I have been born a Hilton or Kennedy?
On a more positive note, I've come across the most wonderful website that you all must see: www.peopleofwalmart.com. It's one of the most amazing things I've encountered in a long while. I might need to take a trip to Wal-Mart to see if I can't add to the collection!
