And it tanked my credit score.

And then once I saw the result of just that one payment that I was late on, I just kind of gave up.

I was just like, forget it.

This just can't be what I worry about right now.

My credit's going to be terrible.

It is what it is.

I just need to stay focused and finish law school.

And so that's what I did.

Then at the end of law school, they put you in a room.

And they have you there with all the other, you know, not everybody.

Like they take small groups at a time.

Cause you know, they're expecting, you know, traumatized reactions.

So they don't want to have everybody in there.

So they take a small group at a time, probably based on your last name, like the first letter of your last name, whatever.

And they're like, we'd like to print out for you all of your student loans that you're about to leave this place with.

Cause it's not, not just law school undergrad as well.

They get it all on one page and you, you, you get, they hand you that page that you didn't want.

Cause you didn't want to know, you know, and you see that big number, which is a larger number than you've ever seen in your life.

You know, I think I have like 300,000 some odd dollars in total debt.

And I was like, yes, exactly.
