I filed taxes for the first time ever about two weeks ago! And as exhilarating as it was, the process was frustrating. The waiting for the check to arrive was even worse. But after 2 and a half weeks of waiting, it finally arrived. I was so excited (and broke) that I couldn't wait to cash it. I checked the time, and it was fairly early still (8:30pm) so I begged and pleaded for my friend to drive me to the nearest Walmart.
When I arrived at Walmart, I waited on a LONG line that seemed to have a thousand people in front of me ,for what felt like forever, until I finally got to the cash register. But to my dismay, I discovered that they did not accept the bank that issued my check. AHHHHH! Are you serious? After all this rushing and excitement just to get to Walmart (which was like 4 miles away) it was all for nothing!
Disappointed, I came back to campus. Empty handed and still broke. But my girlfriend and I enjoyed the rest of the evening watching Lifetime movies until I fell asleep dreaming about only one thing (Ok, maybe two things): Getting my check (and holding my girlfriend, of course)
In the morning, I got up early, washed up and walked to my local bank (Wachovia). They were so helpful and understanding about my situation. They acted swiftly and were very friendly, as well. And wa-la, I was able to cash my check within minutes. I hurried back to my dorm with a new plan in mind for the evening. Dinner and SHOPPING!
I haven't done either of the two things yet, but when I get around to eating (and shopping) I will let you guys know.
Thanks to Wachovia and a whole lot of patience from my girlfriend while I was freaking out about the whole matter, I am able to have a peaceful and happy Friday :)
