school help: What is wrong with me

What is wrong with me

As a gift for college, someone bought me a 17in macbook pro and i lovvvveedd it because i am a graphic design student. However, it was very heavy and i didnt like toting it around, it was something i learned to cope with. In March it was stolen. I was very sad and didnt know how i was going to replace it because i needed it for school but my family doesnt have money for these types of things.

Good thing, is that the people who bought it for me the first time offered to buy me another one. I was given the option of what type of laptop i wanted, and i choose the 15in instead of the 17in. They both have the same features, one is just smaller than the other and has a lower resolution (my 15in has the lower reso)

However, for some i am really wondering if i made the wrong decision and I am sad that i am being so ungrateful because i should be thankful they were kind enough to buy me a new one. This is something thats just on my mind. This is really getting to me even more because i am sad that i will be going back to school soon and i will miss home soooo much. I feel like crying because i dont want to leave and i am hoping this year goes good.

Anyone out there?

Its a present. Your not ungrateful like the firt gift you got you thought it was too heavy, with this one you think its too small. Dont beat yourself over it.

About school, I want you to know that you are one in a million. School is so important and I am extremely happy you are even attending. Please, if your sad know that its ok to be. Cry if you have to. But remember that you will see your family again (God willing). Dont think about the leaving part. Start planning for the coming home part.

Liz. Thank you for that. I didn’t even know i was being ungrateful the first time around.

Sherooo, im really not sure whats really wrong. Im thinking that it is because i am sad that i am going back to school. Or maybe its because my family and my bf said that i should have gotten the 17 because they liked the bigger screen. I have no one to satisfy but myself and im having a hard time seeing why i am so sad about this selection. Im just looking for someone to say good choice.

Ahhhhhhh

Go and cry. Something that can help is setting goals for yourself when you come back.

i used to do that.

My favorite goal was:

Ok, I am going to save up all the money I can so that when I get back I can go with my friends to the mall and buy my bro’s and sis all they want.

And you made the right choice. Listen. I have three laptops. I work from how so they are a big part of my life. But my 15 inch screen I use it for school and work. Its the best for those two things because its not huge. You did the right thing. I would have gotten the 15 inch too.

I guess it was your gift and the second time around they did let you choose so don’t let your fam and bf make you doubt that decision. But, please, enjoy what you have! :)

I think that’s what i am going to do, go cry it out. I feel like that will help me release this clump in my throat and these down feelings.

I haven’t set any goals yet, but saving is something that i want to do. I have never been really good at it though :-). hope it goes good this time around.

right choice feels good. I know i’ll appreciate it later.

Go to www.craigslist.com and find the list for the city that you live in. Chances are, there will be a FREE section under the “for sale” category. I’m sure you could find a free larger monitor that you could hook up your laptop to while doing your homework. This way, you’ll have your smaller notebook; and still have access to a FREE larger screen.

Also, quit whining. You could have thought of this solution all by yourself. Time to take some steps toward living as a grown-up!

Hm, are you the type likes to go on a long romantic trips to a very romantic place that when you’re there you feel so excited, almost as though you’re starring in a movie or in a story of a romantic novel. Of couse your friends would be with you in the trip, making it an expensive present, maybe somewhere like Venice? Ohhh, and lets not forget a bubble bath at night type with rose pedals sprinkled all over the bubbles and a nice view of a full moon…

ok I got carried away there =P

Well, for graphic design, a higher resolution would have been a good idea; but, you made your decision, so you have to live with it; and, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. :-)
