I'm sorry you guys can relate. It's tough, isn't it? I have done some thinking and crying. And after sleeping last night, even though not very good nights sleep. Anyhow, I emailed my boss to see if I can look into living on campus. Some of the staff have done that and are currently doing that- they get paid less but get most utilities included and free rent.

I also talked with a guy friend (we kinda dated for a month, but nothing more than kissing) and he has been looking for a roommate for financial reasons for the past few months. He said I could live there for half of what I'm paying now- I could save like $800 a month! So that's an option. Idk if its the best bc we kinda dated, but oh we'll. he lives about 30 min from work, but the commute would be worth it. If I lived on campus, on the other hand, i could go home for lunch and let the dog out, no commute, etc.

I also called my counselor to see her next week. I feel a little better. Now I just don't want to go home to Visit family for the weekend...I don't want them asking all questions and stuff. They know how tight money is and that I'm stressing. I just don't know what the right decision is for me right now,
