I need to Vent

P.S. Usually I try to keep my blogs positive…And this is my first blog on this website specifically so it doesn’t help.. But your gal REALLY needs to vent.

So today(Nov. 12 if you’re seeing this past 12am) is my birthday right. So naturally I had plans for the 13th. Apparently life had other goals in mind—per usual when it comes to my birthday.

The list of horrible happenings:

1. I couldn’t get the birthday cake flavor or shape I wanted. I love strawberry and wanted it heart shaped. Whatever cake demon exists decided I’d have a circle shaped vanilla cake.

2. The original spot I planned to go to decided they no longer had a reservation for our group size. That’s fine, we found another place to go.

3. Half of the people who were going to go had things come up so they aren’t going to be able to go. It went from 11/12 people to 6.

3. Unfortunately for me, I’m turning 19, so my family’s health insurance no longer covers me. I have to pay for my own, $200…IM A FIRST YEAR COLLEGE STUDENT. WITH NO JOB. So I was planning to use my b-day cash to pay for it. (Leads into reasons 4-6)

4. Circumstances would have it that my current laptop is on her last limbs. So I also have to get a new laptop at the same time. AKA ANOTHER $200-$300 at the cheapest.

5. My parents decided a “happy birthday” text was good enough gift and didn’t bother to do anything.

6. My grandpa is completely convinced that I can get completely free health insurance, and also believes I don’t need health insurance because “your a perfectly healthy young lady, you don’t need health insurance anyway.” (I had to sit through a 20 minute lecture of this) Also said that he didn’t like that he’d be sending me money for my b-day and Christmas just for me to turn around and pay for health insurance with it.

7. He follows with that he wouldn’t be able to send me any money today because he doesn’t have his card yet. And that he would send about $100 (Perfectly reasonable, I can’t be mad at that. He has to take care of his own things)

Combine 3-7. I can’t use the little money I got, and I don’t have enough to buy a laptop that I NEED. I HAVE EXAMS LITERALLY  EVERY WEEK. I can’t go without one. So I have to save up, meaning can’t buy anything I actually want. ON MY OWN BIRTHDAY.

AND ON TOP OF THAT, I can’t even go to the Aquarium. The place I was gonna spend Thanksgiving at because I’m not going home for it. I don’t wanna sit in my dorm alone the entire break, I wanted to do something. But nevermind I guess.
