the most surprising thing about my budget was all the expensive and money you have to have to live an everyday college life. It was a real eye opener and really showed me how prepared you have to be that its real life. I can prepare for it by starting to save up money now so its not as hard still get another job just take some of the stress off. I think i am ready for it also just have to be really prepared and time to grow up. I expect it to be difficult but its going to be fine everybody goes threw it.
