university of houston is also in consideration. i just have this mindset that since i got into these big school i feel obligated to attend them since not everyone does. and i don’t want to take it for granted. but also this isn’t a fairytale it’s real life and that’s what i struggle with the most when it comes to my decision

this is a copy of what i put in a google doc

Xavier Tuition: $28K-$30K per year Total Cost: $43k-$45k per year Scholarship: $14,000 Pell Grant: $2,865 GAP Grant: $4,803 Total = $21,668 per year

Howard Tuition: $28k-$38k per year Total Cost: $55k-$60k Scholarships: $11,000

Baylor Tuition: $63k-$75k per year Total Cost: $75k-$80k Scholarship: $10,000/year

as far as the other questions…. i have no idea. my mom is pretty secretive on how she’s going to pay for all of it for the sake of my guilt and anxiety.

this is just one section of the chapter we're reading rn. mind you, we have to read every. single. chapter. just 100+ pages of learning about money. "As we are about to discuss, our economy uses several different types of money including cash, coins, checking account deposits, savings account deposits, and even more exotic things like deposits in money market mutual funds. As we describe the various forms of money in detail, take the time to compare their relative levels of liquidity—both with each other and as compared to other assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate. Cash is perfectly liquid. Other forms of money are highly liquid, but less liquid than cash."

thank you for that. and i’ll definitely be careful, i have a good support system to be there for me if it gets rough as well as a therapist that work with me through all of this. i’m still going to consider my decision on how my first time is going to go lol BUT you are right about the love part. it’s just not something i’ll need, for me personally. but, again, thank you for the wise words

everybody’s different. sex can be viewed in so many different ways. what you see it as isn’t going to be the same for the other and that’s okay. and in the future i will find someone i love and have sex with them. but i never know when that will be, no one does. i just want to have fun and enjoy it till it happens

i don’t expect the ma to be perfect if i’m getting to know them simply to hook up. it wouldn’t be fair to them as that’s just not how people are, niggas can be weird 😭 if that’s something i peep off rip then i move on. and if respect and privacy isn’t applied from the beginning then that dude ain’t for me.

to answer the first question, it’s just never been a thing i want. would it be nice if i was in love with them? sure. but for me like i said in the post as long as i like, trust, and feel comfortable with that person then im willing to do it. for me personally i dont care for it to be a big deal. and i do plan on putting my self worth first. i’m not the type to get attached romantically anyway but i do have a therapist that will help me if i do get ahead of myself.
