Decisions and Premonitions
It's not the best feeling, realizing you have no money when you're living on the other side of the world, especially with 3 months left and only $50.00 to your name. In moments following these instances, many things become clear, priorities get rearranged and decisions must be made. I have two completely empty bank accounts back home, an empty paypal account and an almost empty wallet. I have three months before heading back home and, undoubtedly, starting a new job or going back to a part-time summer job and by the time that is over, I will be heading back to school taking on no less than two jobs alongside my studies. In the past I have struggled to make my rent payments, lived for months at a time on pasta and basically resorted to being a shut-in to prevent myself from spending money. But I'm in Australia now, and I don't care. I'm going to the Whitsunday Islands, to Perth, to Brisbane, to a music festival, going diving, joining the gym and having fun, because no matter what, I will have bills waiting for me when I get home, and work, and class and my senior project. So for now I'm going to enjoy the magic of Oz.

We've got youth on our side. Lack of money isn't an easy thing to live with, but I'm glad to hear you're gonna enjoy this amazing time regardless. Stay safe!!
