The 5 Struggles Of Being A Broke College Student

Daily Dot

Being a college student, I have learned many things. Last year, my jazz professor told us to use the saying, "I am a broke college student," as much as possible, since it will eventually expire. This is a list of the struggles we all feel while being a broke college student. And there are no better people who understand struggling more these these lovely ladies.

1. That feeling when you when you see the perfect outfit while shopping, but you can’t afford it. It will haunt you for a few days.

2. You don’t ever have enough money to get a full tank of gas. But when your car is full, it feels like you are unstoppable. And also your wallet feels lighter.

3. As a college student you get so little sleep because you’re working to survive. There is no medium between broke and tired. Just give up sleep.

4. You always seem to claim you are poor, but if the meal/day is themed, you are so in.

5. You are so tired and broke you just end up multitasking before you go to work. You are always too busy and poor to go on trips anyway.

All in all, you just hope you can pay your tuition.

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.
