So this happened a couple years ago and despite me never intentionally keeping it a secret, I have never really told anyone outside of my immediate friends group. Please bear with me as I’m not really much of a storyteller nor am I that good of a writer but I will do my best to include as many details as possible. And rest assured that even though it did happen a little over four years ago, I remember every detail of it like it was yesterday.
It happened when I was eighteen. I was just out of high school and I had a clear goal to accomplish before the fall semester of college started. I wanted to save up enough money over the summer to not be constantly stressed about finances on top of the countless other things I would be undoubtedly worrying about during my time living on campus. I had it planned out perfectly in my head: If I worked a full time job during the day and a part time job in the evenings for my entire summer, I would have just enough money to afford food and other necessities for the entire semester without having to go to school and work at the same time.
