How you get a car with no license ??

My mom and I was curious about a random auto loan that appeared on my brother's bank account. We thought someone was using his account, identity fraud, or that he got the loan for someone else under his name. So I just confronted him about it. My brother brought a used car from someone he works with .... but he has no license, just a permit.

Its bitter sweet. Good thing that he got a car. Something I wish I had for years now. Bad thing is that it is used, he is the type to not get it check and I hope he do not let others drive it since he can not drive himself legally. He is the type to let others drive. I just wanted to let out that little spill. I just wish it was me with the car.

1st Apartment Struggle

Couple months ago, I moved into my 1st apartment. Looking for a reasonable priced apartment was the easiest part so far. I really preferred a one room apartment relatively close to campus. But as time was running down, I broaden my horizons and found some place that was transit accessible and in a nice area. I love the neighborhood I am in, it is in the middle of everything. I ended up in a studio apartment with a big walk-in closet room. When I 1st got my stuff moved in from my dorm room, I really had nothing. Just 5 bins of clothes and piles of sheets and comforters as a bed. Luckily, I had my laptop and mobile hotspot to keep me company. I have a tv but no cable.

Anyway, my friends been a good help. Since a couple of them moved out their old apartment, they let me have a couple pieces of furniture and borrow a blow up bed. Then later my dad came down a brought some more pieces. It was finally looking like something. One day, I decided to randomly mess with my tv, thinking I may pick up at least a couple channels, couldn't be completely nothing. Pushed the 'program channels' option and hella channels pop up. I was content with anything that popped up, thank goodness for basic cable. Still feeling out the loop with my VH1, BET, and MTV shows. Wish I could trade 6 channels for these 3. I keep up with my shows via twitter .... that sounds so lame but that is part of my struggle.

I been looking for a job same time as my apartment search. Well, the job search been off and on since January. I had a few interviews but no call backs. After money been getting super tight, I, again, broaden my horizons and was trying to be a server or work at food spots, I been applying to retail. But by the grace of God, I finally had the quickest interview of my life and got a job. Not actually where I want but it would do for now. Hopefully, I can babysit my cousins and do this job at the same time. Luckily, my cousin has a flexible schedule and pays good. Job Training starts Monday

 Hopefully things fall in line for the month of August. July been a real headache. Been late on my rent, still late because they want both July and August rent. Hopefully my brother can pitch in with  my August rent. I am also late on my credit card and about to be late on my Walmart credit card. My dad was suppose to be helping out but idk what happened in the month of July.  I even contemplated, joining the MCA train because it look like quick money but I think I would rather be a server and get tips every night. I wonder if servers get tips at Chuck E Cheese, which is the new job.
