I might’ve been cursed for the whole month of April, because it was one of the worst months I’ve had in a while. After I thought things were getting better, my card got locked because of fraud (spoiler: it was my own fault but I was unaware until today). I was trying to buy concert tickets on Friday, and my card kept declining on every site I tried; I gave up after nearly 20 attempts to purchase them (which was a terrible idea). Later that day, I went grocery shopping after work. To nobody’s surprise, my card declined. At that point I knew I was screwed and my debit card was unable to be used for the weekend. I freaked out and called my mom, like any college student does, and she came up on Saturday, bought my groceries, and gave me some emergency cash in case a similar situation happens again.

Fast forward past Easter Sunday (which went great), I called my bank after I got off work this morning. I fixed my card and had a little shopping day! My paycheck was a little bigger than expected, and the one from my second job will hit my account this Wednesday, so I had a little bit of cushion to have a fun day to myself.

After struggling to make a personal Facebook account AND a business page, I finally was successful! All I need to do is add the link button on my website and I’m set. I have most of my work done for the year, and I’m really proud of myself. All I need to do is engrave my keychains, finish my CD cover, finish and add my video to my website, and turn a few assignments in that I finished a while ago (I wanted to wait to turn them in until closer to the due date in case I wanted to make some changes).

April has been a stressful month for me, but I’m still going to try and take it day by day. At least the days where I have to worry about things are slowly starting to decrease!
