What I Would Spend My Powerball Winnings On

It's tough to spend $900 million

What I Would Spend My Powerball Winnings On
NBC News

So the Powerball drawing was Saturday night and I am going to go out on limb on this, you didn’t win. I know, shocking. But were you really expecting to win? I mean over $277 million worth of tickets were sold on Friday. Seriously, $277 million worth of the tickets. You have literally no chance of winning. Like zero chance.

But if you did win, what would you buy?

If you are a guy, would you buy Nina Adgal? If you are a girl would you buy Justin Bieber? Well, buckle up and let's break down how I would go bankrupt.

Gulfstream G650

Listen, are you even rich unless you have a private plane? I don’t think so. A G650 is the best of the best and chances are if you own one, you are part of the one percent that the left loves to complain about. But there is a problem. There is a two-year waiting list. I cannot wait two years. As a result, I will have to buy this used (ugh) G650 for $65 million. I know, buying a used plane, such poor-person status.

Playboy Mansion

It couldn’t have come at a better time, but the Playboy Mansion is for sale. Yes, Hugh is selling his palace of sex and debauchery. Do I really need to explain why I would buy the Playboy Mansion? Sorry Hales, I love you, but if I can wear a bathrobe all day, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Wally 118

Yes it has a silly name, but the Wally 118 is the most badass yacht ever constructed. Seriously look at it. If Darth Vader had a yacht, this would be it. But there is a catch, it is $33 million. Not exactly cheap, but put it this way, when you dock it up to the harbor in Monaco, you will probably not see another one. For that alone, I need this in my life.

McLaren P1

If you have read my articles in the past, which you should have been, you know by now that I love cars. If I won $900 million, realistically I would buy every one of my dream cars, which really means, all of the cars. But for this list I am only going to include one car. The McLaren P1. There are only 375 P1’s in the world so I would have to buy one used. Oh well. The car has 903 horsepower and weighs as much as a pillow. And it’s a hybrid, like a Prius, so tree-huggers will approve and the car will save polar bears, job well done.

Morgan Freeman’s voice to narrate my life.

Who wouldn’t want this? Have you heard his voice? It is wonderful. I would use the Powerball Money and hire Freeman to narrate my life. How much better could it get. Fun fact, Freeman has played God more than anyone else in movies. So I would have a God-like voice to narrate my life. That sounds awesome.

So I have about $400 million left to blow. What else would I get? I am not sure what else, but my guess is it would include Alabama Football season tickets and access to an Air Force. Yes, that is actually what would I want, an Air Force. Is there anything better than ordering an air strike? Doubt it. I could be like Julius Cesar.

Now, where is my servant with my grapes?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
