So, soap box time.As you in the blogging world know, I'm a premed student hoping and praying and wishing and willing myself into med school with all I've got.
I'm also a very broke college student. I don't like to say that I'm poor because I have to many things in my life that I'm thankful for. My mum always said that we weren't poor, we were broke. And I stick to that. And I don't mind it, because while I may make wish lists out of Vogue and desperately need a new car, and would love all sorts of things, I don't need them. And I know one day that I'll have loads of money, and I'll appreciate it so much more than if someone was just handed the things in life.
But whhhhhhhhhy does everything require money? All I wanted to do tonight was join AMSA (American Medical Student Association). They have a pre-med program, and everyone and their mother knows that this is something you should do if you're serious about med school. So I go and try and sign up, and get through all the processes and then it gets time to pay. $75? What? I know it's not that much but when you're living paycheck to paycheck it just isn't right. I make $8 a hour food goodness sake!
I just don't think that it's fair that people with money should get the advantage over people who have just as much heart and desire (if not more). It's just not right.
There's my soap box. I'm getting down now.
Maybe I should start taking donations. The "Lets Get Mafia into Med-School Fund".
Yep, there it is.

I hear ya. I really hate money sometimes. It seems like no matter what you make it's never enough. UGH My best friend got her accredidation stuff done and it cost her $365. Sickening. If I had money I would help the fund--but I'm broke too ;)
Awww well thanks for the thoughts! Those are what count most right? :-) We can be broke together hahaha.
