The Homecooked Meal Wins Again...

The old argument that a home cooked meal is cheaper and healthier than fast food wins again. I think it is interesting to note that what was once the necessities of the poor (homemade meals, cloths, soap, a garden etc.) have become the luxuries of the rich. What started this shift? Is is because we work to much for the money we "need" to live hand to mouth? How can we fix this system?

I'm Back!

College finally starts for me this next Monday. I am not sure how I feel about that.

I normally look forward to school starting back up. But this will be my last year of undergrad and soon I will be launched into the "real world". I am excited about this. I just kinda want it to happen now. Because I am a practical masochist, I still have another degree that I need to complete so I am in it for one more year.

One of my many flaws is that am not very good at living in the present moment. I know that I have touched on this before. I am usually years ahead of myself mentally; solving problems that have not even happened yet. It is because I like to have control. Its awful. I am admit it. I work hard to fix it. I am not always successful but I do try. 

Luckily I am in a good place right now. I have an excellent job from which I will learn a lot and which will look great on a resume. I will be taking classes that I love and that will intrigue me. My academic adviser is awesome is highly supportive of me.

My budget is extremely tight this year because I received much less financial assistance than I was hoping for but because if my new job I should be alright. I am deeply grateful for all the wonderful thing in my life. I am thankful that I know how to cook and take care of myself and live frugally and simply. There are so many who are not a fortunate.

Here is to another school year and more dedicating blogging.
