This is why we can’t
have nice things. Most college students usually work minimum wage jobs, especially
college students with no to little work experience. Constantly being reminded
that you can't afford certain things shouldn't hold you back when it comes to
your personal life.
If you work your way through college, don't
feel like your only options are to hide in a cave until you can pay off your
student loans. Nobody wants to be the friend that always flakes and nobody
wants to invite the friend that you know will always say no.
Constantly complaining because
you have less money in your bank account than your niece has in her piggy
bank or telling people that you can't hang out because of your
nonexistent funds is not an attitude you want to keep. Your friends are
inviting you because they want to spend time with you, what you do is irrelevant.
If you cannot afford to
go to the movies with your friends, suggest watching something classic at
somebody's house. To offset concession food: if you can make some killer nachos, ask someone to provide the ingredients and knock everyone's socks off.
Make suggestions for something alternative. If there is no alternative, take a
rain check, schedule for another time, but don’t complain that you’re broke.
2. Reduce your
check.
You said you'd go out to
eat with your friends, but you don't think you'll be able to afford the
expensive entrees.
Eat before and split a
large appetizer with someone. Most restaurants have sampler options that offer
many small portions of their appetizers (or share a huge order of frozen custard). Splitting that with someone will still
show that you're into sharing in communion with your friends while keeping your
part of the check on the light side.
3. Take care of your
hair.
You know you need a
haircut when you can see all the dead ends. Rocking an “I haven’t showered in a
fortnight” look isn’t an option if you want to be taken seriously.
Take time and effort to
make sure your hair stays healthy and shiny; don’t dry it out or damage it and
take your daily multivitamins (before you take anything, please speak to a
doctor about it). The better care you take of your hair, the less money on
expensive haircuts you'll spend. An added plus, you'll have healthy hair that looks regularly
maintained.

I actually read this and came to my senses that what you said here is actually true.
Wow. As an alumni, this has to be the most detailed analytic blog piece I have seen since reading this blog. I come on here every now and again, but I am definitely blown away by how informative this is. I wish I had this back in 2009 as a freshman!
It seems to me that it is better to it more, moreover, there are plenty of ways of not spending so much time on it: Recipes & Ideas for On-Campus Cooking.
Hello, I just wouldn't have the same opinion much more now with this specific theme, I personally found out that these days some stuff are actually replacing in a radical way, maybe for good or for more stressful.
