Alrighty, so I really need to stop. Whenever I get an idea do get something, especially shinny new electronics, I tend to overlook a lot of factors. Mainly, "do I really need it." For example, my last post with the laptop. I really liked the look of the laptop and loved that it was light and thin, but completely overlooked the whole battery life of a computer meant to travel... which was a whole 2 hours. Oops. I've been doing it with phones too. Well, it's really a debate of "fancy phone, or new laptop?"
I really have no idea what I'm going to need once I get to Chicago and start classes. LTU has kind of been an oddity compared to most schools where laptops are freaking everywhere and require for most courses. Adjusting to the real world is going to be a process.
Side Note: To all of y'all LTUers who complain about how horrible your laptop is an all that... SHUT UP! Most schools don't just give out laptops with every program you'll ever need. Could you imagine being stuck in a computer lab all night with random smelly people stuck around you all day? I think not. We are all pretty spoiled on that front.
So anyway, getting back to what I was talking about... oh yeah! I get really excited about shinny new fancy things, do a bunch of research (although manage to miss a ton of stuff; thank goodness I have friends that throw red flags at me) and then end up doing nothing with it all because I realize I don't need it as of yet and that I really don't necessarily have the money for it either.
Ugh, me and shinny new things...
...So, there you goes!
