I Just Wanna Build My Credit

I figured I'd start building some credit. I took the advice of my economic teacher, well, sort of. Get a credit card, buy some shoes and pay it off. Except, he told the class to fill out the slightly annoying letters card companies send you in the mail. Well, I was barely 18 when they started sending me those and I didn't have a job, so I just threw them out. Now, I figure it's time to build some credit. My sister is my age and just got a card. I thought, hey, I'll do the same. Did some research online, found a good card, filled out some info on the website, GOT DENIED.

Mothereffer. That's showing up on my credit report, is it not? I don't know. I don't really understand credit. My sister already had a department store credit card so I'll assume that's why she got the green light and I totes didn't. Well, it's not fair. I don't want a fucking Macy's/JCPenney card. I don't like those stores. Well, I like the clothes at Macy's... but that stuff's expensive. I don't need to put that on a damn credit card.

I had a good plan and everything. I was going to save money. Buy something on credit and then pay it off as soon as the bill came in. I wasn't going to be irresponsible. I know what I'm doing. GIVE ME CREDIT CARD PLEASE.

For now, I pay with cash.
