I am in my second year of college and to say that I am broke is an understatement.
- My parents helped me out during my first year, but now that I have a job they don’t think I need their help anymore.
I guess they really are right, but a little bit of extra help wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Right now I am living in the most affordable housing close to campus and it really sucks. Nothing working correctly and the building isn’t even capable of having a HVAC system. There aren’t any ducts or mechanical equipment in the building at all. I have to rely on an air conditioner window unit to keep cool and it really doesn’t do the job. I am always sweating in the summer and the winter is unbearably cold. I need to get a space heater, but like I said I am so poor that I can’t afford one. I wish that I was able to live in an apartment that had a working HVAC system, but those kind of apartments just aren’t in my price range right now. I now that I will appreciate a HVAC system when I have one one day, but for now I am just going to have to make due with my air conditioner window unit. I am hoping to save some money up for next year so that I can get a better apartment with a real HVAC system. I think I am going to start looking for a second job.
