I hate talking about money. Money is one of those topics that made me feel inferior to those around me. Either I wasn't making my potential, or others around me were making more, or even in college, I was working two jobs and taking out loans to barely make ends meet while other students were getting aid from scholarships or family. Even now, I hate the topic of money. I would rather talk about controversial topics like politics and religion than talk about money.

Getting through college was especially frustrating. The first year, living with my folks, going to the Lima campus, money was tight, but was never an issue. Then, I moved to Columbus. There, I made a living from eating mac and cheese, those Totino's Party Pizzas, Hot Pockets, and ramen. Going to Raising Cane's was a treat for me. Roby can vouch for what I ate when I lived with him my senior year. It was frustrating to say the least.

So many people talk about how much they miss college; I can see what they mean, in a way. I miss doing radio, getting paid to go to OSU sporting events, and the friends you make while at school. I will never miss the personal finance aspect of attending college.

Well, I may be back there for the short term. I'm going to have to get in contact with my lawyer back in Celina, but I'm in some deep shit at the moment. Long story short, there is a legal hold on nearly 75% of the funds in my bank account AFTER I paid all my bills for the next two weeks today.

When I lived in Columbus, there was a little more understanding with my financial situation, even though I always did the best that I could. Here, none of that exists. I'm honestly scared right now. I worked my ass off for four years at Ohio State. I was contacting numerous companies everyday trying to get a job for several months after graduation. I fought too fucking hard to have it taken away like this.
