Before this I was having to show up 1-2 hours before class for parking.

Days all years have exams are a blood bath.

I used to show up late to the lab (I always stayed late and often had to come in at night for cells or the sequencer so I had an extreme level of apathy towards start times, lol) and I lived 10 minutes away and could park across the street from my building. Showing up HOURS early would absolutely wreck me. Let alone exam days. The horror I feel at leaving the house before 8

In state tuition is well worth it I assure you......

I kinda got lucky w the baby thing bc Florida considers pregnant women handicapped (LMFAO) so I get handicap parking now :3333

Literally bought motorcycle in undergrad to get cheaper and better parking (I did not even know how to ride one yet). "It'll pay for itself" I said.

Several years and several bike upgrades later... it was definitely not cheaper

Man. I missed out on the Backstreet Boys ticket drop this week because I couldn't be sitting at my computer when they dropped. Of course they're now sold out and at crazy resale prices.

Husband is already trying to plan a Hawaii babymoon which is exciting, but probably going to cost $5000 or so for a week with what he wants to do. I can book a hotel/ticket package through BSB still and not pay crazy prices, but after flights it would be $3000 at the least (without food) for a 3 day trip.

Some would say that we shouldn't do either with an expensive-ass baby in the future. Some would say we should just say yolo and do both. I lean towards the latter because we never do anything (the Japan trip earlier this year was the first major thing I've ever done) but that's still a lot of money to spend in a matter of two months. Someone tell me I'm not being insane.

If you have the money for it, and you are still going to have money left for all the expensive baby things to come, do it! My biggest regret is that I never did Orlando with hubby before we had kids. I only realized after they were born that it would be a good decade before I would be able to experience Disney the way I wanted to… but it was too late to shove them back up my womb for me to have a do-over.

But know that as you become exasperated over the first weeks to months of survival mode with first time newborn, being able to freely submit to impulse buys of a couple hundred dollars at a time is so nice. It’s nice to be able to dump money into solving temporary problems that baby will grow out of within weeks… but those problems seem insurmountable after weeks of extreme sleep deprivation
