What surprised me the most was the amount of money i'll have to pay for tuition. I expected to be hundreds of dollars in debt every month but I wasn't. I didn't expect to have 3 people living with me but if I didn't I would be in debt for the rest of my life. Having 3 people living with me lowered the mortgage for me. With this project I realized the insane amount of money that I have to come up with to pay for everything. I think I am in a way prepared for all that responsibility, but I also think it will become overwhelming at times. I could begin to prepare for all of this by getting a job and trying to pay things on my own. That way I begin to learn to pay and take care of myself.
