I decided to join the realm of the blogosphere. I am not sure exactly how I am going to manage it, but we will figure that out later. Hopefully when I found time, I will go through the HTML code and recode this sucker to look amazing.
Who am I? I am just your typical college student. I am studying Public Safety in hopes of pursuing a career as a police officer, preferably, a K-9 unit. I am tinkering with the idea of joining the military. I have been enrolled in an ROTC program for 2 years. Now comes game time, since I have to contract in order to continue with the program. I will leave during the summer to attend a military school called LTC and come back and decide whether or not to accept a scholarship.
What makes me unique is the fact that I am financially stable by my own means. My parents have given me no help to fund my college. I have earned nearly everything on my own. The only way my parents help me is by providing me shelter, food, and a vehicle. It is a nice set up but many students at my college, which is a commuter campus, have these same amenities and are not so well off.
I figure my savvy shopping habits and inability to spend money have something to do with it. From an early age, I never wanted to spend money. I am the person who would rather hide it under a rock and find something free to do then to go out and spend money on entertainment. I am the kind of person who will pick the pennies off the ground or find a pencil on campus and snatch it up.
I also found a hobby which I can enjoy and not spend anything. That hobby is the world of couponing. It sounds crazy to most people, but it is addicting. Some people say I am crazy for doing it, but I think it is crazy that they spend money on these products and I spend only tax when applicable. I have gotten countless amounts of food, health and beauty, medications, and other items for next to nothing. I call that smart shopping. I am able to help give back to my parents by taking the burden of grocery shopping off them by providing a portion of what we use.
Many of my friends think I am weird for doing it, but others don't. I have gotten a marriage proposal for my stock pile when I brought a girl friend (as in a female who is a friend) to my house and let her pick out items she wanted. I take another girl friend (as in a female who is a friend) anytime there is a makeup deal, since I don't know makeup at all, seeing as how I have no use for it.
I am just your typical college student but I am the not so broke college kid.
