As a college student I have learned many life lessons, my goal is to share what I have learned through some of my ridiculous, funny, and sexy stories. Why are college students so poor? Well, let me start by saying it does not help when your college charges 30,000 a year to take 5 electives, stay in a cramped dorm to share bathrooms with the same sex, and eat food that turns your stomach into a pot of grease and fat. Yet, we all fall in this trap. So how did I overcome being poor, I used my assets in positive ways. I always got money from my mom about every other month, being in college that sucks with so many temptations with drinking, going out to eat with friends, shopping, and food. Who wouldn't be able to kill $100 a week? Well, being a college athlete with a small scholarship but took up all of my weekends, and 4 hours of my weekdays, how was I suppose to get a job while studying. So I learned to be the best friend and student on campus. For friends, I always socialized and always had great snacks for my friends. Also some guys still pay for dates ladies, it is not a myth. So going on a date, can guarantee you a good splurge meal without paying and a good make out session. And being a good socialite at school and student got me invited to many free dinners, events, and reasons to get dressed up. Be the best you, use your resources, and you can overcome the poor girl myth of college students.
