This is the first year my mom hasn't claimed me as her dependent, so it's great how things are turning out so far.

I'll be getting my $300 sometime in late August. At first I'm like "WOOOOOHOOOOO! I get to buy new clothes for school..." and then the BF set me straight. I then realized that I need to save that $$$ for when we go to California for the holidays to be with his dad.
