Should I let the computer guys diagnose my laptop for $70, or give up? If I decide to get my HP laptop of 2 years fixed, it may cost me more than what I paid for it in the first place. Along with over $250-$300 worth of previous work on it, i could pay up to $500 to get the job done, which involves replacing the motherboard, screws, cables, etc. Or I find a new computer. I can't afford either decision, but I need a laptop for college, and I'm in my senior year! Oh, why am I struck with this misfortune? After a year and a half of building my savings, it's all but gone in a month! Fuck my life!

I need my car and my laptop to get ahead as a college senior and a studying programmer, but as my savings built up over the months, I am suddenly faced with a conga of expenditures that threaten to make me go broke. By the end of this month, I will be spending hundreds on car and laptop repair, probably sell said laptop to buy a new one, and if anything else goes wrong, I will surely be broke or in debt. I think I'm gonna be sick.

After 2 years of use, my HP laptop is finally malfunctioning, shutting itself off at random intervals. There is no doubt about it: after testing the CPU fan, the cables, everything, it has become clear that the motherboard has worn out. This is the most inopportune time, too! I had to spend much of my savings to get my car fixed, and I do not have enough to replace the laptop. I would try to tough it out, but considering that I need this laptop for college, it's going to be tough.

I've reduced myself to being a watcher, because I just couldn't handle the ambiguous standards of the site's submission policy. Right now I'm a college senior in the computer science business and am looking to get a run going where I can work in game design. I hope I would not have to do something in mobile app development, as that's been inundated with addicting games for the sake of being addictive or making money, and that won't fit my storytelling and gameplay skills. I wanna make good games, not crack puzzlers.
