Being a student

I'm 25 years old now and it took me a whole life to find out people have lied to me about studying to "be someone" in life (or at least they hided some important details about it).

Today I went out during noon to look for buying new tennis shoes. Mine are already so damaged that they got soaking wet while I was walking in a not too rainy day.

Well, the task of looking for shoes was pretty frustrating and irritating. First of all, it was raining and I should walk because I don't have a car. Second, the two stores a friend suggested me were too expensive (one pair of tennis would cost me 10% of my monthly scholarship). Third, I couldn't spend $120.00 dollars in shoes knowing that I'd have to pay more $60.00 to use the gym.

Why didn't they tell me some years ago that being a student was good, but that I should get out of this function as soon as possible? As a student, you become "someone", yes... "someone" always on a tight budget, "someone" wet in the rain, "someone" always busy, BUT poor.

That was all hidden!!! :/
