Your first mistake was spending money on a Macbook lol.
 
 
this macbook has wayyyyyy more space than i’ll ever need and this will be the only computer that i’ll be using or at least need to access my music and files on for a long time so while i understand how an external HD would be beneficial to others, there’s really no need for me to have one right now 
Thanks a lot for the help, though, adam :lol
