My Bank Account: A Weekly Saga

Monday:

9:00 a.m. -- It was a long weekend; maybe I should check my bank account.

9:05 a.m. -- Wait, $29.38? I could have sworn I had almost $100!

9:06 a.m. -- It’s OK. I get paid on Friday; well, my mom said she would give me money on Friday. I just have to get through the next four days.

10:30 a.m. -- I need coffee if I’m going to make it to both of my classes today. It’s only like $2, I can afford it. What am I, a peasant?

10:36 a.m. -- Wow, this line took so long! I deserve a nice drink. “Yes, I’ll have a venti iced chai tea latte with soy and two shots of espresso.”

10:37 a.m. -- $7.96? OK, more than I was expecting, but it will be so worth it.

12:30 p.m. -- I really don’t like what they are serving at the dining hall. Maybe I’ll grab a slice of pizza. No, I’ll just eat here.

5:45 p.m. -- I hate the dinner, too! I hate this! Life would be so easy if I were rich.

11 p.m. -- Just one Insomnia cookie is less than $3 with tip. I won’t spend any money the next two days.

Tuesday:

10:03 a.m. -- I guess I’ll just have to make coffee in my Keurig today. These pods are so expensive; it’s way more affordable to buy coffee. Wait I have no milk. I guess I’ll have to drink it black.

10:06 a.m. -- This is the worst coffee ever. I’m going to Dunkin' Donuts.

10:45 a.m. -- (Takes sip.) Yes! This French vanilla swirl just speaks to me. And it was only $3.21!

9:20 p.m. -- (Checks account.) I am really proud of myself, today. I still have $15.31.

Wednesday:

11:16 a.m. -- I over slept! On the bright side, I don’t have time to get coffee. That means I’ll have money for bar cover.

3:35 p.m. -- I’ve been having such a stressful week; I need to do some online shopping. Wait I have no money. I’ll just put it in my shopping cart and buy it this weekend.

5:10 p.m. -- (Checks cart.) This is totally reasonable! I mean, this nail polish is on sale. It’s only $3.99, plus shipping. I totally deserve it, and it would make me feel so much better.

5:15 p.m. -- That was so worth it. I really needed a deep red nail color. It’s such a good investment.

6:30 p.m. -- My roommates want to get dinner downtown tonight. I want to go, but I guess I’ll have to skip this one and eat at the dining hall.

8:20 p.m. -- (Roommates return from the dinner.) I have to be better with my money. I don’t want to miss things like this anymore.

Thursday:

9:00 a.m. -- (Alarm rings.) I only have to survive one more day! This is a piece of cake.

11:32 a.m. -- Class started two minutes ago and I am already falling asleep. I should have bought coffee. After this class. No, I need money for the bar.

11:45 a.m. -- (Checks account.) OK, I have $9.32. I can buy a small coffee and still have money for cover.

12:15 p.m. -- Sweet sanity! This coffee is so worth it!

8:30 p.m. -- It’s time to get ready and treat myself to a night out.

10:30 p.m. -- Jaime paid for my cover and I'm going to Venmo her the $3.

Friday:

1:23 a.m. -- When I wake up in the morning I’ll be rich!

8:40 a.m. -- OK, no money transferred yet. I’ll go back to sleep for a few hours.

12:03 p.m. -- What is taking my mom so long? She said noon!

12:07 p.m. -- (Notification of transfer.) She was really making me nervous there.

12:09 p.m. -- Hey, big spender! I have $103.10. I am going to spend only what I need to survive this week, the bare minimum.

6:00 p.m. -- I’m going to order sushi for dinner. I mean, why not? I have the money. I’ll only get the basic rolls, though. Because, I’m responsible with my money.

6:09 p.m. -- (Gets receipt.) Well, $19.12 is a little more than I thought it would be, but quality over quantity, right?

11:15 p.m. -- (Hands card to bartender.) “Keep the tab open.”

Saturday:

10:56 a.m. -- Where is my debit card?

11:00 a.m. -- (Calls bar.) Mystery solved. I left it at the bar last night. No worries, I’ll just go grab it now.

11:24 a.m. -- (Looks at receipt.) Wait, $36? What did I buy last night?

11:45 a.m. -- This whole thing really made me hungry. I’ll get a bagel and some coffee.

7:00 p.m. -- I know I spent a lot of money last night, but I need to eat dinner. I’ll order a sandwich.

9:30 p.m. -- (Applying makeup.) “Gabby, don’t let me spend any money tonight."

11:30 p.m. -- OK, just one drink.

Sunday:

9:34 a.m. -- (Wake up.) What did I do last night?

9:35 a.m. -- I said I wouldn’t spend any money last night, but I know I bought one drink. I don’t think I bought any more than that.

9:42 a.m. -- Maybe I should check my account, just in case.

9:43 a.m. -- (Checks account.) What, $20.98?

9:44 a.m. -- How did I do this again?

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

2078
Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
