As winter breaks ends, and a new spring semester begins, there are quite a few responsibilities for college students.

One of these less enthusiastic responsibilities includes buying textbooks. I don't miss anything about high school, except for the fact that our textbooks were provided, for free. Now we are forced to buy books for a million dollars that we may or may not even use, and even renting them can break our banks.

There are multiple other necessities I would rather spend my money on than textbooks.

1. Different pairs of shoes

Can a girl really have too many pairs of shoes?

2. Alcohol

I swear that's not all I spend my money on...


3. Uber

Uber everywhere am I right?

4. New clothes

Okay seriously though, it's so hard not to online shop.


5. Food, especially pizza

Pizza > textbooks

6. Coffee

Dunkin or Starbucks?

7. New piercings or tattoos

My roommates and I actually did this, and now I really have no money for textbooks...


8. Getting your nails done

A priority.

9. Re-dying your hair

Who doesn't want to come back to school with a new style?

10. Vacation with your friends

Spring break where you @

If you are lucky enough to have parents who will buy all your books for you, God bless, but if you're not, and you feel my pain, you can donate to my GoFund Me or just Venmo me a few dollars.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
