Setting My Priorities Straight

Well a lot has happened since I posted my last rant about school... I may be beyond stressed with school, but I learned that taking the easy way out (dropping out) isn't the right choice for me. As much as i'd love to be done with school, I realize I won't be able to move forward with my future without that diploma. I need a Bachelor's Degree whether I wanna go to school or not. So I am pushing through and making the best of each day. 

I am trying to figure out where to start... I guess I will start with the fact that I have been working on campus to make money so that I can save and get my own apartment. I had about $200 saved up and kept it on my dresser in a jar. I never imagined someone would be so low and steal it from me thinking I wouldn't notice. My uncle and his psycho girlfriend live in the apartment on the side of my grandparents house where I am living. And my grandpa left the door that attached both sides of the house unlocked when I left for school, and he was out and my grandma was at work. She came into my bedroom and stole the money from me to pay for her heroin addiction and she thought I wouldn't notice. Like how stupid can you be? Luckily my grandpa was just as pissed off as I was and he is kicking them out. They have to be out by March which is when my father comes down, and if they aren't out my days taking all their stuff and putting it out by the road and we are changing all the locks on the house. This whole situation is just so upsetting. I work hard for my money, and I have been working hard to save. I guess everything happens for a reason, because now I don't have to move out and find my own apartment and I get to move into the apartment on the side of my grandparents house. So I guess that's a plus to this shitty situation. So when my dad comes down in March we are going to re-do the whole thing and change the locks and add a deadbolt to the apartment entrance. Until then I have to hide all my valuables and lock my bedroom door every time I leave the house. It's very sad...

So lesson learned, if you have a psycho drug addict living in the same house as you always lock your doors and also hid your valuables. But I also learned that in every shitty situation there can come some good. It may be hard to find but it is there. Also I learned to never give up and always strive for the best because things that you want do not come easily.
