For a while I've been thinking that I'd like to diversify my blog into more than just the thoughts that pop into my head, life events, and updates. Also, my degree taunts me as I walk by it every day lol. At least I can pass on some of my tips and tricks that I've learned from four years studying finance/trying to live as a poor college student/grad.
Get a library card. Yes, I can spend hours browsing in Barnes and Noble and be perfectly happy. Yes, there is something special about the way a brand new book smells. BUT I am a chronic binge reader. I will knock out a novel in one day if I have the time (I've read 4 or 5 in the past two months). Spending $20 on a new book is an incredible waste of money unless it's something specific to reference/reread. Even if you're not crazy like me, books are good three weeks at a time and renewable. You can order books in from other libraries across the state too. Just go in with your driver's license and walk out five minutes later with a pretty yellow card. They'll even give you one for your key chain. My dad also loves that he can borrow a book on his Kindle through the library. That's super cool. And if you're germophobic...you can do what I always did and Lysol the books :)
All twenty of you who will read this now think I'm completely crazy, but I plan to take advantage of working two minutes away from the Appoquinimink Library.
Happy Reading!
