5 Reasons I'm Broke

I could probably think of a lot more, but these are the top 5 that affect me on a daily basis.

Reason #1: Food.

Food is the number one reason I am broke. I can’t deny my friends when they ask if I want to go out to eat!! A chance to eat real food instead of the dining hall? Sign me up, I don’t care if its a restaurant or fast food, but it’s hurting my bank account greatly. Heidi’s, the all amazing sandwich place, or going to find a new restaurant in Old Port, there’s no way to deny a nice meal out.

Reason #2: Clothing.

Clothing..every girl’s weakness. Every time I make a trip to the mall I have to buy something, whether it be a shirt from Forever 21 or a pair of $50 jeans from American Eagle, I can’t resist. It is impossible for me to go to the mall and not buy something because I love clothes so much.

Reason #3: Textbooks.

Textbooks are ridiculously expensive, as we all know, but it’s not just a one time cost. Nope, twice a year! Because everyone has the money for that! But you got to get your education. Sometimes I don’t even use the textbook I was required to buy, so it was a waste of money in the first place.

Reason #4: Sports Gear.

Sports gear..I need it. Between a new helmet, sweatpants, t-shirts, and jackets, I am dropping major cash on sports gear to represent. I can’t get enough of sports gear, I love to represent my school, as well as brag about the fact that I play softball here, so I love to have all the gear possible.

Reason #5: Aroma Joes.

After my first trip to Aroma Joes, I was forever addicted. $4 for a single drink, that hurt my debit card, and of course it’s a nice 5 minute walk from campus! Blue Hawaiian Rush..a nice energy drink to wake me up in the morning before my 9:30 class, couldn’t ask for anything better, maybe cheaper! I’m not a fan of coffee, so when I found a drink that wakes me up I have to stick with it, and this is addicting, let me tell you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
