After a long summer of baking in the sun by the lake, drinking like a fish, and maybe actually catching a few fish, it’s time to go back to the love/hate relationship of keeping your entire life in one tiny room with another person. Syllabus week starts and everything is going great. You have a suitcase-sized crate filled with food from your mom, brand new textbooks charged to your parents’ account, and a new pair of sunglasses for those dreaded, hot walks to class. What more could a gal need? The answer is a lot. Here are 20 things you’ll relate to when you’re broke and on your own.
- Need a pedicure? Too bad. Also, you forgot to pack nail polish remover.
- Your fridge absolutely never has anything in it but various types of liquor.
- If you miss lunch or dinner in the cafeteria, you accept the fact that you’ll starve until the next day. At least you’re beating the freshman 15, right?
- How could one box of tampons possibly cost this much?
- Hairspray runs out way too quickly.
- Your roommate seems to pull new Lilly shorts out of the sky.
- Your sisters have more letter shirts than you do clothes.
- The struggle of trying to measure a shot without a shot glass.
- You consider becoming a stripper daily. Kidding.
- But really. Do you KNOW how much strippers make?
- Accidentally pressing the handle down longer when you try to take the gas pump out of your car is tragic.
- Not paying the honor society fee because you have to buy a new dress for Saturday’s tailgate.
- You find you relate really well to “Work” by Iggy. #pledgeallegiancetothestruggle
- Cereal without milk.
- You’ll forever be judged for buying Burnett’s vodka. It’s cheap, okay?
- The beautiful concept of borrowing clothes from your sisters.
- You may even try to sell crafts on Etsy.
- But then no one buys your crafts and you realize your little probably only pretends that you’re good at crafting.
- You’d do anything for a free t-shirt.
- You go on dates with guys just because they’ll buy you things.
