For one, you're motivated. And two, you're awesome. You're going to continue to learn new ways to save money, and every extra dollar you can scrounge up to throw at debt will make a big difference. Especially once your credit cards are paid off (November is soon!!), you'll really pick up speed. Srsly. Oh, and yeah I lived in Briscoe during my freshman year and holy cow man, that's an expensive way to live! I think it was like $680 or something per month for crappy food and a tiny bit of space. I saved so much money when I lived off campus, but I wish I had a clue and cut my expenses and avoided eating so much fast food and Union junk. Maybe I would have had less debt upon graduation. Oh well. I have a feeling you’re going to get those loans taken care of a LOT sooner than you think. For one, you’re motivated. And two, you’re awesome.
