If I had an extra $500.....

If I had an extra 500 dollars there are MANY things I would buy. I would buy 200 pairs of payless shoes, a plane ticket to Maryland, heck I'd buy a ticket to as far as $500 would get me, I'd go on a shopping spree at my cousin's express store down in Utah, or just fix up my car.

Can I just tell you that college is EXPENSIVE! Yeah I know that you're thinking "Good work Sherlock!" But every single semester it hits me. I took a trip to the book store the other day to buy my textbooks and have first pick at the used books (they're cheaper!). I walked to my car with 5 books that I will hardly read and my wallet 500 big ones lighter.
When I shell out that kind of cash I usually expect to get something big! I mean like a wall painting, a computer, 42' TV, or even a washing machine for goodness sakes! Not a tiny little pile of dead tree's.I was trying to think of things I can use this new investment for......You know, something useful! This is what I thought of. I can use them to set my hot pans on in the kitchen, I can prop my computer on them when I'm doing my late night face booking, or just use them when I want to convey the "smart chick" image.

I look pretty smart right? But really I have so many more important things to read during my college career.
I mean this is so much more interesting and at a MUCH better price. If I had an extra $500 to blow you can bet I would not spend it on books!

Just keep your nose in your text books and you will be fine.

Eewww... statistics? That is gross. However, all of those other classes look like they'd be pretty rockin!

Really? they look like they are going to take a lot of time and be challenging to keep up with if I have two or three jobs this semester.

Have you tried buying your books online? I boycott the bookstore like I boycott walmart and forever21! selling 'em online usually gets ya more money back too.
