i've transitioned into the middle class! YAY! no more waiting for student loan checks and using boxes stacked on top of one another as a kitchen table. no more leaving dry cleaning to fester for months as i await my semesterly payout from uncle sam. no more trying to figure out creative recipes for ramen. no more sharing a studio with a virtual stranger. no more bundling myself in layers indoors in the winter, because i can't afford heat. no more bargaining with telephone companies on a payment plan.
i bought bookshelves, a kitchen table, and an entire refrigerator full of groceries. i have a savings account. i have all the cable channels. i can afford to go to the eye doctor and get a contact lens prescription. i can pay my student loans without going under. i can get my girlfriend's corporate health insurance. i'm middle class! i'm middle class! yay!!!
(this post wasn't meant to be ironic. hipster irony is so early 20's. plus, being a member of the middle class infinitely better than being broke. hipsters use irony to cope with the fact that they are bitter and broke.)
