What a relationship!

It was only 5 months after graduating from Bemidji State when it started! (December 5, 2000 to be exact)


It didn't matter if it was raining, snowing, or an earth quake just happen it would appear in my mail box every month like clock work. In fact I was fortunate of walking it across the street safely a total of 119 times.



I never got excited when I saw it or would feel any smarter when I opened it but it always came with a return envelop and would just sit there patiently smiling and waiting.

During the 10 years we were friends, more on his part then mine. He cost me $80.88 extra one month and only 49 cents extra another. He was mainly consistent but maybe that's because his hands were always in my wallet!


In his defense his amounts were a lot smaller then anyone else's could ever be and I did agreed to everything he said but our relationship is now officially over. After paying the boat load of extra money. I am happy to report I'm completely done with Direct Loans...That's right my student loans are PAID IN FULL!!


I don't remember a whole lot of all the classes that I took over the course of my four years but I do have a lot of GREAT memories of all the wild and crazy things that I did with my friends and some times total strangers. In fact according to my calculations if I would of saved all the money we spent on stuff (aka. beer and party supplies) during the time I was there I would of been able to pay off my student loan and purchase a beautiful home on the day that I graduated.....Glad I didn't do that!!

Someone has to make the really funny joke - it might as well be me. Ready for it? ... Want to start paying off my loan now?

Congratulations! Looks like Applebees is on you tonight! :) (Was that two jokes in one comment? I am on FIRE!).

You are too funny, I wish I could say that, but grad school will keep me writing checks for years to come.
