Welcome to adulthood, I have debt!

About four months ago my old laptop caught on fire and was completely destroyed, I made the decision to get a new one. But I really couldn't afford one  out of pocket so I began looking into getting a credit card. This didn't work out to well because at 25 years old my only credit history was as follows: nothing, nothing, nothing, $2700 hospital bill, inability to pay said bill, collection agency, filing for inability to pay... so needless to say I got laughed out of any credit card company I went to.

After two months of rejection and my chances of getting a card and new computer were not looking very well. Until my closest friend offered to add me to her best buy card and have me buy a ps vita I wanted then just pay her back. I was apprehensive about it because normally friends and money are a bad mix... After about a week I decided that I trusted her and she trusted me and has always been there to help me, I took her up on the offer. She then added me to her card and I got my vita. While I'm still paying off the vita, those things are unnecessarily expensive.

Last month she paid off the card in full and told me to try for a best buy card, so last week I did and I got approved for a card! I was so happy, my first credit card and my first step into moving out of my mother's house... I tried to move out a month ago but all the apartments needed a credit history that wasn't complete garbage. Now to spend it...

Last Saturday I went to best buy with my friend and picked out a really nice laptop and had several micro panic attacks over spending 689$ In one shot. My friend pointed out that when I'm nervous I don't shut up, it's true I know it. And she loves me enough to poke me on the side and whisper shut up in my ear. So now I have ordered my new computer which will play world of Warcraft and other games on decent graphics, according to best buy it will be in tomorrow.

So now I welcome myself into adulthood, the second step, I have credit card debt! I don't know why I'm so excited about this being stacked on all my other bills... But I am.
