BUT! It wasn't all bad either. I learned so, so much about being a responsible home owner, something I should have done when I was 19. It's given me a sense of stability that I never really had before. School has been wonderful and I'm officially shooting for my masters in fine arts (my crippling debt permitting)! I got engaged, I got a puppy, so despite all of the bullshit below, I'm still a very happy, well adjusted, and good natured fighter against all this negativity! :D
