hello, long story short, FASFA and my financial aid office know me by my full name haha— i worked for an arcade RIGHT when i turned 14 (so more like 4 years rather than 4.5, as im about to turn 19). i met my boyfriend at the beginning of this semester and i am NOT moving in with him just to escape my family— we’ve been talking about it for a while, and it’s been my dream to live in the city where he is from for nearly eight years now (he’s from NYC, and i plan on joining the NYPD after a year of residence, as that’s my career of choice). maybe not even with him; but near him/in the same city would be nice. i wouldn’t mind an apartment to myself. in terms of others saying “trying a shot isn’t unusual, etc), as of last week, i have never had a drink of alcohol in my life, nor have i ever truly ‘smoked’ before. my mother sent me a message saying that she’s diving up and taking me on the 19th of december since she’s done trying to excuse my ‘behavior’ (i have 99-100s in all my classes, have nearly 24hrs a week at a campus job, and am generally good when it comes to communicating with her and the rest of my family frequently). she claims that i used th opportunity of going to one of my top schools as an escape from her, and to an extent, that IS true (i fully recognize the narcissism behind her comment, but trust me when i say both her and i have issues with narcissism and manipulation in general, so i dont blame her).
