Live like a student
Friday, January 18th, 2008Live like a student while you are in school so you don’t have to live like a student when you graduate” That was the best advise my father game me when I first attended college, but much like all good advise you don’t really appreciate it until after the fact. So, let me break it down for you. Living like a college student doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun. Look for deals, they are everywhere especially in your college town. Most movie theaters offer discounts for college students, look for coupons, meal deals, and nightly specials. Many restaurants want to bring in more business on their slowest days, so they may offer 1/2 priced appetizers for example. Also, walk around campus. Not only is it good for your health, you can save on gas. Buy your books used, sites like www.amazon.com or http://www.campusbooks.com/ for example offer many of your schools textbooks at a fraction of the cost. Spring semester is just starting, so hit the books hard and get ready for Spring Break!
