<prompt> Human: I dont usually post but I dont know what to do. So as the title states, I am leaving to college tomorrow but I have my first payment of 700 due in 3 days. However as I was buying school supplies I used rhardware swap for a deal on a laptop with a bag and mouse for 600. Unfortunetly it was a scam and disputes wont help. So I lost a good chunk of money, still need to buy a laptop and supplies with a 700 bill in 3 days and I only get paid 500 on the 24th. What should I do? Pull out a loan? Credit card? I just need some advice. Thanks.Assistant: Why do you need a laptop? Colleges have computer labs that should allow you to do school work without a laptop.Did you pay for one and not get it? If you paid with a credit card, you can likely reverse the charges. Call the credit card company.Human: Im a physics major so I wanted to take good notes. But I did a ach transfer however it never shipped  <response>: As others have said, you dont need a computer to take good notes. Honestly, it will just slow you down, especially for physics where you will likely be writing equations and diagrams in your notes. You wont keep up on a computer trying to capture that stuff.Get a pen and paper and dont worry about the computer.
