I am a poor college student. I'm taking summer courses. I teach jiu-jitsu to kids. I'm allergic to dairy. I like seafood. My favorite is salmon or tuna. I enjoy raw sushi.
I have outstanding student loans. I work too much to do anything fun. My job is not stressful. I like meat. I like sushi. I like california rolls. I prefer cooked sushi to raw.
Lenders will typically work with you on repayment plans for student loans. It's better to make small payments than no payments at all.  That makes sense. The lenders want to know that I'm trying to settle my debt. I need to find a better work-life balance though. I completely understand that! Don't let the debt overwhelm you, once you get control of it, I hope that you feel less pressure to always be working!  I want to pay the debt, but I don't want to spend all my time working for the "man." Especially while I'm young. If I won the lottery, I would just pay off the debt. I wouldn't stop working. I don't hate working, just working all the time. Life is all about balance, that's for sure! Have you ever tried to make your own sushi? I tried once, but it was awful! It just fell apart. I leave it to the pros.  Haha yes it does take a little practice and a lot of time. Its quite satisfying to do it yourself but it is an art, that's for sure. Maybe I should take a class or ten. That might do the trick. I need someone to guide me on making the rice just right, so it doesn't fall apart. LOL after my first go at it I'd agree that ten classes would do the trick! The rice is what seemed the trickiest.  And not overloading the roll, which was my struggle.  Gotcha. It's not as simple as making a sandwich. Can't just load it up with everything and hope for the best. Exactly! One time I had to just order in after a failed attempt, oh well! Just thought it'd be a more affordable option. I worry about bacteria on the fish. I prefer the cooked stuff because it seems safer. I have tried the raw stuff, but I didn't feel so good after.
