I TOTALLY agree with DisJosh on BOTH of his posts!
1)DON'T work if you don't absolutely, positively, no way of getting out of it, have to get one. Speaking from much experience, you WILL miss your friends, stuff at school (ex:football games, meetings, etc.), and chances are if your getting paid minimum wage or close to it...it's not worth it!
2) What do you need a car for anyways? All your friends will have one, and so do your parents! Because yes having a car is cool....for about the first month, then you realize you don't have any money anymore becaue it's all going to get the oil changed, buying the stickers for it, gasing up EVERY WEEK, getting it washed...etc, etc.....
3) When you go off to College....live on Campus! I commute every other morning! And let me tell you...the school that is just a few miles away from you house...is really NOT as close as you think it is! LOL!
Okay, I'm done preaching. I just wanted to share some words of advice from mistakes I have made!
