Paperwork and Costs (Georgie)

I’m increasingly getting the feeling that my major should be in form filling out rather than history and politics – at least this is a more practical qualification.

At the moment everything in my life requires a form! Youth allowance, passport, irish citizenship, exchange applications for melbourne uni, exchange applications for dublin uni, application for an ISIC card at STA travel so I can get cheap flights, applications for a plethora of scholarships, application for the International Youth Leadership Conference among others! And this doesn’t even include all the other forms that you have to hand in with everything!

It also feels like everyone wants to take my hard earned cash away from me! Everything is costing money! And I keep getting taxed at about 23% because working at Easlink is my second job. Leave me alone ATO! I’m only a lowly student!

Does anyone else feel that they are just overloaded with paperwork and expenses?!
