Do I have to grow up??

So this week has been absolutely crazy, with me packing and studying for nationals and then work. This week I was only suppose to work on Wednesday from 5-9 but I got a call early Wednesday morning asking if I would like to work. Of course, I said yes and off I went. Well that meant I would be at work from 11 am to 9 pm. Shew, 9 hours later I was killed. Now, I'm sure there are lots of people who would call me a baby but this was the first opportunity I had at such a shift and therefore my body and mind were not prepared for such a feat! The reason I had the opportunity of several extra hours was because one of the girls that worked with me, just quit on Wednesday morning. And though I am sad she is gone and I wish her the best of luck in life, I am thankful for the extra hours that the rest of us get because of her choice. Which brings me to today! I was called again early this morning inquiring if I wanted to work. And again I wasn't going to say no! So off I went to work. I got another 6 hours today! Boy am I thankful! The reason is: I have two big purchases to make before I head off to college, I need to buy a laptop and a plane ticket; not to mention hopefully having some sort of savings. But somehow over the last three months the only savings I have would amount to a little over $100! So my plan isn't working exactly!

That brings me to plan B!! My friend mentioned that she and her parents were going to get her a credit card in order to help establish credit. But the more I look at things like this the more I just want to be a little kid again! Well, not really but things definitely are different and more difficult! So that is my big decision right now, to get a credit card or not to get a credit card! Any suggestions??
