Welcome Mason. You will find that this is a great forum with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also get lots of fun and friendship  .
The most important thing to do before buying a corn is to research them as much as possible, to find out the full cost of the set-up, how much it will cost to keep them, how to look after them and to be aware of the fact that you are taking on an animal that will be with you for the next 15/20 years....not a decision to be taken lightly. I realise you are young and my immediate thought was about you going on to higher education and what would happen to your corn then. These are the sorts of questions you need to ask yourself. But you have started in the right place by joining us on here.
Make sure you browse the TCS site and forum, you will find that it provides great information. The best place to look to begin with is http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm, it has lots of information for new snake owners. Also read this topic on 'Your 1st Snake' http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4133
You will find that there is a large amount of conflicting information out there about corn keeping – on the internet, in books, etc. Even on here you will find that people have different opinions.....but at least you have a place to ask what you need to know and get the answers from experienced owners. Then you can decide what to do with what you are told.
Unfortunately many pet shops cannot be trusted with what they are telling you  . I know that I double check anything I am told on here. Remember that no question is regarded as a silly question  .....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too! First place to look is in the top right hand corner of the screen where there is a search button...type in what you are worried about and see if you can find an answer. I know you can get swamped with different topics including what you are searching for, so it is a bit daunting but worth a look. If you cant find the answer you are looking for then dont hesitate to ask!
A warning - corn snakes are addictive.....and yes, the majority of us have stood up, said "hello my name is ****, I am addicted to corns........! And I am proud of it!" You are thinking about starting down that corn path so be warned!!
I look forward to getting to know you better.

| Hello. If you want a snake cheap look for one that isn't a special colour or look for a second hand one. Second hand equipment will also be cheap and ebay is good too :) |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |
