brb thinking big kid thoughts

First week of college over! Well, I suppose it doesn't really count, since it was just orientation. I'm excited for REAL school, though - I've got my schedule, the upperclassmen have been streaming in all weekend, and I bought all of ONE of my books.... haaa

Book buying is horrid. Here's what I suggest

-Buy off Amazon used - super cheap.
-www.chegg.com rents text books by semester, also for MUCH CHEAPER than bookstore prices.

These days I only purchase books I know that are relevant to me/my major/i would want to keep. Also, your library should have the text books available and you can just check them in/out as you need them.

Hm, well, I managed to get them all off various used book sites for criminally cheap prices, so THAT'S okay. I'd think about renting, except I really like to write in my textbooks.

I spent two or three hundred bucks just on books last year. Selling them back, I only got about one hundred thirty. BC
I transferred, so my new college actually rents books, which is nice. I should really get them soon, since I've got my schedule and whatnot.

Printers are touchy little buggers. :/ It takes me a while, sometimes, to install hardware like that, but I don't think I had to call anyone for help yet. Luckily I'm pretty good at installing things. That doesn't mean they last, though. orz

Wow, lamesauce. D: The renting system sounds decent, though! But I like to write in my books.

haha, that's good! Yeah, I'll find someone... eventually...

As everyone else has already pointed out in your comments - BOOKS! THEY ARE EXPENSIVE! I second the motion to purchase used off of Amazon.

-start pencils for Meg's comic (I HAVE A COOL FORMAT WORKED OUT, BE PROUD OF ME)

*IS PROUD*

Totally got them off Amazon, Barnes and Noble used, and ABEBooks.com. :D

AND YAY THANK YOU
