11 Signs of Being A Broke College Student

1. You're constantly looking for ways to make money

Anything and everything helps at this point


2. You take advantage of anything that is free

Free event on campus...I'm there. Especially if it involves food

3. You don't even bother looking at your bank account

If you don't check it, you won't be able to see all the money you don't actually have

4. You order the cheapest thing off the menu

All your friends want to go out, and you don't want to be left behind so you go. Unfortunately, you have to order the cheapest appetizer on the menu.

5. Shopping makes you feel better

You go shopping with the zero money you have...but still feel better in the end

6. You're parents call you every day to stop spending

Like I already know I don't have money, you don't have to rub it in my face gosh

7. You are always making up excuses

I deserve this, therefore I need this

8.You are always checking old wallets for loose change and gift cards


There's some small miracle you may find a quarter

9. You can't afford to pay for gas

I'll drive! Oh wait... no, I don't have any gas or money

10. Someone says their parents are in town

And you kiss up to them as much as possible...well...because free dinner

11. You have about 10 IOU's to your friends











Even when you have money, you just use it all to pay back those who gave you money before.
