When I first went to college, I was exhausted over the amount of student credit card applications that were given to me. It seemed like anywhere that I went on campus, someone was trying to sign me up for one card or another. It was literally exhausting trying to avoid these people after the first couple of days of school.

I had been informed during orientation about the vast number of college student credit cards that would be offered to us, but I really had no idea. It was like I was famous and was running away from the paparazzi or something like that. It got to the point where me and a couple of the other freshmen that had befriended me did not want to leave our dorms.

I was sick of hearing about the great credit cards for students and I was sick of telling them that I didn’t need any of them because my dad was taking care of everything while I was in school. They then tried to get me to sign up so I would have money for having fun with. I did not agree with this tactic, as I knew there were a lot of students that would get into trouble with this, but in the end they finally left and I had some peace at last.
