10 Places Your Last $10 Went

I swear I didn't spend any money this week...

10 Places Your Last $10 Went
Medium

College seems to be a never ending cycle of spending the last $10 you thought you had. Every week starts the same: "I am saving money this week!" Then it starts...$5 here, $5 there. If you find yourself wondering where all of your money went at the end of the week, check this list...

1. New candle.

Your room has to be smelling it's best, right?

2. Chipotle bowl.

You were planning on only spending the regular $6.99. You were going to hold strong this time. But, all the employee had to say was, "would you like chips and guac with that?" Boom. You were sold.

3. Seasonal decorations.

Somehow spending $10 at the dollar section in Target doesn't make you feel bad.

4. New phone charger.

I am convinced that phone chargers know the worst time to break.

5. Bar cover.

You're down to the last $10 in cash you have for the weekend........but you gotta do what you gotta do.

6. Gas.

Does anyone else put $10 of gas in at a time?

7. Starbucks.

The new Peppermint Mocha is out, and you HAVE to get it. Why not get a chocolate chip croissant to go with it?

8. Study Guide.

$10 for a study guide seems absurd, but at this point you need a 130% on the final to pass, so you would give your left arm for this study guide.

9. Venmo.

Venmo sends you a notification. You totally forgot to pay back Danielle for that Bento box she brought you.

10. BLT Dip.

At the end of a rough week, what else can cheer you up like Madison Social's BLT Dip? The answer is nothing.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
