The 12 Steps Of Checking Your Bank Account

A more intense process than a horror movie

The 12 Steps Of Checking Your Bank Account
Giphy

In this day and age, all you have to do is check your bank is open your smart phone and touch a button.....but no one wants to. Turning your bank account into an app makes it seem like its not as important to reality anymore...but it is. And you can't just do it randomly. There is a complicated process that turns into a beautifully vicious cycle.

1. Shopping spree

Not just any shopping spree, more like a shopping spree without acknowledging the reality of any prices, or life in general.

2. Realizing you need to check your account

It's fine. There's no way I spent that much.

3. Slowly opening app

Literally doing anything and everything else first before opening your bank app. Check facebook, check twitter, take a few selfies, idk.

4. Making someone else look for you

Maybe it won't be as bad if someone else looks at it instead of you.

5. But then being embarrassed about what numbers might pop up and take the phone back

Nevermind. You don't want them to see your failures.

6. Finally looking

The slow peeking through the fingers covering your eyes helps. Just like in horror movies.

7. Denial

HA! Clearly my identity has been stolen because there's no way I spent that....right?

8. Crying

Oh no. Here it comes. Why does this always happen? Why do I spend all of my money?

9. Self-Hatred

Actually, just go ahead and drink from the bottle

10. Job search for easy money

AKA Stripping

11. Promising not to spend any money for the rest of the month

Seriously. Not even going out to eat. It's not just a promise; it's a pinky promise.

12. Shopping again next week

YOLO.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
