okay lets say my prays come true and the University of Virginia allows a MFA Fiction Creative writing program
and i mean a miracle.
they only accept 5 people for fiction.
- free tuition.
- health insurance and school fees included.
- $20,000 fellowship income/teaching assistanceship income a year (for 2 years).
like holy shit.
there are student apartments as low as 400$ a month. that are pet friendly. (I have to have Smokey, no ifs ands or butts.)
lets say.... 200$ pet deposit and then a 40$ pet fee added each month. (i'm guessing here.)
rent
200 + (450 x 12) = 5600.
20,000 - 5,600 = 14,400.
so thats living expenses.
250 a month on groceries....
250 x 12 = 3000
14,400 - 3,000 = 11,400.
now car insurance.... lets say 200 a month?
200 x 12 = 2,400.
11,400 - 2,400 = 9,000.
now add in my car payments.... 130 a month.
130 x 12 = 1560
9000 - 1560 = 7440.
now.... phone.
52 x 12 = 624
7440 - 624 = 6816.
lets round that down to 6,500.
now that money would easily be spent..... trust me. oncluding gas and clothes and possible trips....
but... 20,000 is enough to live off of.
i would still try to work part time, because i'm not an idiot.
but woah.
if i did have a job and brought home even....200$ a month?
lets add all monthly expenses shall we?
460 - rent
52 - phone
250 - groceries
200 - car insurance
130 - car payments
==============
1092 a month in expenses.... at least.
1092 x 12 = 13,104 + the 200 deposit = 13,,304
but... if i work a part time job as well. thats at least 200$ a month (i would hope i make more but lets be pessimistic)
1092 - 200 = 892. x 12 = 10,704 + 200 = 12,704
20,000 - 12,704 = 7,296..... lower that to 7,000.... go straight to savings.
i need to go to this school.
i have to get into this school.
I HAVE TO GET INTO THIS SCHOOL.
and if it remains the same... thats 14,000 that could go towards my $20,000+ student loans.
