The 12 Steps Of Checking Your Bank Account

A more intense process than a horror movie

The 12 Steps Of Checking Your Bank Account
Giphy

In this day and age, all you have to do is check your bank is open your smart phone and touch a button.....but no one wants to. Turning your bank account into an app makes it seem like its not as important to reality anymore...but it is. And you can't just do it randomly. There is a complicated process that turns into a beautifully vicious cycle.

1. Shopping spree

Not just any shopping spree, more like a shopping spree without acknowledging the reality of any prices, or life in general.

2. Realizing you need to check your account

It's fine. There's no way I spent that much.

3. Slowly opening app

Literally doing anything and everything else first before opening your bank app. Check facebook, check twitter, take a few selfies, idk.

4. Making someone else look for you

Maybe it won't be as bad if someone else looks at it instead of you.

5. But then being embarrassed about what numbers might pop up and take the phone back

Nevermind. You don't want them to see your failures.

6. Finally looking

The slow peeking through the fingers covering your eyes helps. Just like in horror movies.

7. Denial

HA! Clearly my identity has been stolen because there's no way I spent that....right?

8. Crying

Oh no. Here it comes. Why does this always happen? Why do I spend all of my money?

9. Self-Hatred

Actually, just go ahead and drink from the bottle

10. Job search for easy money

AKA Stripping

11. Promising not to spend any money for the rest of the month

Seriously. Not even going out to eat. It's not just a promise; it's a pinky promise.

12. Shopping again next week

YOLO.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
