1. The things you’ll do for a free t-shirt are slightly terrifying.

2. And you have no shame going to an organization’s event just because they have free food.

3. You bring Tupperware to the buffet-style cafeterias so you have dinner for tomorrow.

4. Even if it’s 100 degrees outside, you will not turn on your air in your apartment because that costs money.

5. You’ll contemplate if you really need that $4-box of cereal.

6. But for some reason you become extremely rich when you walk down the alcohol aisle.

7. You “borrow” toilet paper, paper towels, and other essentials from public campus restrooms.

8. Your credit card cries every time you use it, and so do you.

9. You don’t even care if people see you check if there’s any forgotten change in the vending machines.

10. And no matter what you’re doing, you’ll always stop for a quarter on the ground. Three more and you’re practically at a taco.

11. You know how to make ramen noodles into a gourmet dinner.

12. And you’ve eaten pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner before.

13. You’ve contemplated making a “GoFundMe” page that literally just says, “help me I’m poor.”

14. It doesn’t matter if you have a car or not. Gas costs money. Buses are free.

15. When your friends want to go out to eat you recommend the cheapest restaurant you can think of.

16. You’ll practically sell anything for money and you’re on a first-name basis with the doctors at the plasma donation center.

17. You like to joke about how much student debt you have, but way deep down you’re dying inside.

18. You’ve photocopied a book before so you didn’t have to buy it.

19. And you avoid the school store at all costs because that’s a money monster waiting to devour your soul (and your wallet).

20. Your current life motto is, “if it’s free it’s for me.”

But in the end you’re determined to succeed in life in whatever career you take on, so you don’t mind being a broke college student for now.
