Good News + Stationary Haul + New Read + Bad Spending Habits
As an upcoming college freshman, I've been sweating all the small stuff about money, classes, and well, MONEY. So, finally receiving news back about my financial aid money coming through was definitely a happy scream-and-dance-around-like-crazy moment. I won't go into a lot of detail with the amount, but basically my tuition for this fall was paid for with FA money and I received a direct deposit into my bank account for the sum from the Pell Grant and State University Grant left over! The amount definitely helps cover any textbook expenses, gas money, and other miscellaneous purchases I'll make. |
| All of these were purchased from an eBay seller named iheartkawaii! |
I've been in such a good mood to get back to school (hopefully this lasts for a while) that I've been, perhaps overboard, in buying school supplies. Lots.. and lots.. of school supplies... Most of which are not really necessities... mostly just for aesthetics, however! I've come to

| Page flags from Daiso - Currently using the frog ones :-) |
Page flags are definitely helpful even though I use them sparingly because I don't like to run out :'-)

| Bought on Amazon for $6.99 |
I also went ahead and bought an Infinite album that's been omitted from my collection. It has my two of my favorite Infinite tracks on there of all time: BTD and Hysterie!
Lately I've been receiving packages in the mail like crazy... My online shopping game has been just too strong and it doesn't help that I just got a huge addition in my bank account and that my Amazon Prime trial is only just a TRIAL so I feel like I have to buy what I can and fast! LOL. It's nice that buying things online is easy, but it is extremely dangerous for someone like me who has like 2% of the amount of self control and thoughtfulness a healthy person should have. Case in point, I hastily bought a pair of shoes at 1am and ordered the wrong size because I am careless :-) Tbh I don't need new shoes!! This has got to stop...
As a solution to help myself open my eyes to my spending habits, I've begun to write down everything I buy + price in my daily planner and totaling it at the end of the week. It's effective and kinda sad to say that I didn't realize how much and how fast I've been just buying things that I don't absolutely need. So, note to self, SLOW DOWN AND THINK, WOMAN!!!!
Anyways, I've been using my Wacom Intuos Tablet these past few days and I wish I had gotten it sooner! I think I'm going to start drawing people I know and Instagram mutuals and randomly sending it to them. :-)
Thanks for reading my rambles ~
