New beginnings

Over winter break I tried to get out of my dorm contract. They only way was to switch school. I thought this would be a good idea because I needed to take a step back from everything and focus on my school. I knew commuting would be good, so why not save money at the same time. Somewhere in the process of switching, SVSU lost my transcripts so I couldn’t register for classes.

 

Taking the semester off, I moved back to my parents for the rest of the winter.

 

 I spent the first few weeks resting, not doing anything, and enjoying my time to my self. One morning I decided to go into Jimmy John’s to see if they needed an extra hand. They were about to call in applicants for interviews, so I was just in time. The job was instantly mine again.

 

I started working 40+ hours a week. Since I knew everything so well, it was a matter of time before I became manager.

 

One day before work, my dad told me that our house would be up for sale this spring. Holy cow I thought, that’s in only a few months! So, at first I put it off because they would NEVER get everything moved in a matter of months. Well one month later my parents were half way done and asked me what I was going to do. I said, “Start finding someone to live with.”

 

My boyfriend and I had talked about moving in together and we already were staying with each other every night. We started to look for apartments for us. But then we saw bills would be a lot with just two people and almost min. wage jobs. I thought my best friend Anselma and her boyfriend Frank will be needed new roommates soon, lets talk to them about it.

 

A month later we were hauling stuff to our new place at Country Ridge Townhomes, in Saginaw Charter township
