Ah yes, the student lifestyle. God I miss having a real job that pays! Now that I am settled, I can finally reflect on what I have done to myself. Shit, is this really what I want? Oh GOD, what have I got myself into? Whose idea was this anyway? So in order to simplify my thoughts I have made a list of pros and cons on being a student.
Pros:
1. Set my own hours
2. I where ultra-comfy clothes all the time (expected to look poor...no problem!)
3. I get unlimited library access plus no limit on check out items
4. If I am hung over, I just don't come in. Simple!
5. Lots of free food
6. Firm ass. No car=walk EVERYWHERE. Including walking home with groceries and wine.
Cons:
1. That double espresso every morning that used to be routine, is now a luxury
2. Lot's of reading, much of it is very dense
3. No money. My paycheck is a 1/4 of what it used to be
4. No shopping sprees...PERIOD
5. No respect, I am truly a grunt now
6. People assume I know stuff and lots of it. Sorry to let them down.
7. To poor to have a car, but that leads to pro #6
I am sure as time goes on I will more to add to the list, much more. For the time being I will try to enjoy it as much as possible.

i just gave up that lifestyle and i don't envy you a minute! see, it's all a trade off - either you have the luxury of time or you have the luxury of things. rare is it that we get both.
well, if we are born to wealth, we get both.
