9 Situations All Broke College Students Will Understand

If you're not broke, we ain't talking [because you're a better person than me and I really can't stand you for it]. But seriously...college students know how to live the broke life. Our bank accounts are bleak, our jobs are boring, and the only end in sight means ya know, graduating. At some point it gets pretty comical, spending every last dining dollar and paying for gas in spare change. Here are nine situations all broke college students understand, as told by some of our favorite, most relatable TV characters.

When you have to transfer money from your savings for the third time this month.


When you can't go out with your friends because you can't afford it. But you also know they can't really afford it either?


When you've eaten Easy Mac for four days straight. Or worse: ramen.

When your great-aunt sends you money for no reason & you're suddenly rich.

When you sneak 4 apples and 7 muffins out of the cafeteria. Sorry, Mama Shelia!

When you get a parking ticket (that you can't pay for). How many of us have made up excuses to appeal them?

When you have $30 in your account for the next two weeks.


When you find a dollar on the ground.


When you overdraft your account at Taco Bell.


One day we'll be rich ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
