Remember the days when all you wanted from your mom was $2.50 to get something from the ice cream truck? Yeah, me neither. Those days are long gone, as I sit here at the end of the semester wondering where $1,000 of my money went this semester. Unless you have a credit card with your parents name on it (blessed), you’re probably a struggling college student like me. Don’t worry – you’re not alone. Let’s laugh at ourselves because these ten things have happened to the best of us.
1. The only coffee you’ve drank in the past week is from the dining hall… maybe you’ll treat yourself to BNG tomorrow…
2. You thrive off cats cache. Thanks mom!
3. You dream about the days you used to have a savings account, as you check your dwindling checking account.
4. You’ve actually become anit-social, because going out will cost you a few bucks
5. You cringe at the liquor store, cause you’re about to buy the cheapest vodka in there (Zhenka)
6. You’ve started bumming rides – or even walking everywhere – because putting gas in the car just isn’t worth it…Never mind the parking meter!
7. Because you have multiple parking tickets already, that won’t be paid until they prevent you from graduating.
8. You take more than one piece of fruit from the dining hall. You take six.
9. You’ve actually borderline starved yourself because you can’t afford groceries and you’re meal plan is limited.
10. It’s been too long since you’ve had a JB, because they’re like $7!
But more importantly – you’re having a good time. Cause a good time in college ain’t cheap. Save up this break, Wildcats!
