currently listening to Russ
currently craving a joy ride
currently feeling bloated and sentimental *sigh*

Yesterday I traded in what seemed like an actual, physical piece of me. Since I was 16 years old I’ve driven one car – a 1999 Toyota Camry.  6 years and 100,000 miles later, I am 22 now and I FINALLY upgraded! I am FINALLY getting my life together!

Through all this excitement, I’ve been constantly reminded what all that car has done for me. (gross, i’m such a sap!!!) I am not kidding when I say it has seen some of my hardest days but some of my happiest days too! It has seen me experience many losses but many more gains! It got me through 2 years of high school, almost 5 years of college, and an internship.  Like a lifelong friend, it was always just.. there.  Together we’ve survived countless bumps in the road, both literally and metaphorically! A couple of times they actually left me stranded on the side of the road! oh… this car caused my dad and I such a headache. Having the same car for 6 years doesn’t seem all that long, unless when you get it it already had issues. Even when we first got it, it was a piece of sh*t! But it somehow lived to see the day I bought my first very own car! Why we attach sentimental value to material things is beyond me but I’m surprisingly sad to let the ‘ol Toyota go. I am still in shock I was able to find my dream car and get it so fast! You will be remembered my little Camry, but I now belong to the Stang Gang! 

Time to start budgeting and tackling those insurance payments! Please shoot any and all
“adulting” tips my way!
