10 Ways To Get Beer Money From Your Parents

As college students, let's face it when we have $20 in our bank account we feel like millionaires. However, we know we would rather live off the dollar menu at McDonalds and save that $20 for a bottle of liquor/shots at the bar.

Sometimes we have those weeks where we go out four times and well that $20 is gone after one night, so we make the attempt to face our parents and ask them to float us a loan. If your parents won't budge to give you some extra cash maybe one of these excuses will help you out.

10. We ran out of toilet paper and paper towels in our house.

...cause that really is the worst situation you could be in.

9. I have to buy another book for my biology class, we need to have it by Monday.

The story of my life, rather spend half that money on tequila and pitcher night.

8. I'm sick, I need to go to CVS to buy some NyQuil and Mucinex.

The fifth product I'll need to buy is a bottle of wine obviously.

7. It's my roommates birthday, we are all pitching in to buy her "dinner."

When we say dinner we mean drinking our calories.

6. I need gas money.

Even though you don't have a car at school.

5. I need groceries, do you want me to go hungry?

Let's admit, all your parents care about while your at school is if you're eating and doing homework.

4. I didn't have the chance to attend work study, because of my 10 page paper—and I got an A on it.

But you actually got a B+, but it's basically the same thing in your mind.

3. I've been in the library all week, I just need one glass of wine (or a bottle).

Lies, lies, lies, forget the library give me the wine.

2. "Mom said you would"


Mom always said "ask your father."

1. Always resort to dad.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS.

Tell us what excuses work for you in the commente below.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
