At first I considered not applying for any credit until I was more established, but I've had a streak of bad luck. The flood wiped out my television and VCR, I put a huge dent in my car, and my printer is on the fritz, not to mention the fact that I have to cover rent and part of my summer school tuition without parental assistance. I'm flat broke, and credit is just looking really tempting right now. I still haven't figured out exactly what to do, but thanks for all the great advice.
