Nine Ways To $ave Dat Money.
Interviewly

If there's one lesson we all learn at college, it's that you're always going to be broke. You're even broke if you have a job because let's face it, you're buying coffee, burritos, clothes and spending too much money at the bar on alcohol while paying your organization's dues and apartment's rent every semester.

So I think we all can take a hint from Lil Dicky's catchy, overplayed anthem "$ave Dat Money." We need to start putting that 20 dollar bill from grandma away in the savings account instead of turning it into this weekend's festivities. Let's be honest, it's time.

Here are some tips, as told by Lil Dicky, about how you, too, can save that hard-earned money:


1. Find free food.

This is the key to survival in college, and is more easily accessible than you may think.

"Free sandwiches, homie, two stamps away"


2. Reuse clothes.

Or better yet, borrow from your friends. You don't need a new crop top every weekend. Believe it or not, outfit repeaters often go unnoticed.

"I wear the same pair of jeans everyday"

3. Don't buy that extra shot.

Seriously, you know you don't need it.

"Do the math, I ain't never gettin' robbed

Those margaritas not goin' on my card"

4. Conserve energy.

When you leave your house, turn off the damn lights and the fans.

"Hit the (bleep) lights when I leave, homie"

5. Freeload on Netflix.

Use your parents', your roommates', your boyfriend/girlfriend's account and never pay a dollar for television again!

"I get logins for Netflix from my cousin Greg
Thanks Greg!"

6. Use the bank.

Fetty Wap's sole contribution to this song is the chorus and he may not practice what he preaches, but putting money into the bank is always a smart idea.

"Ay, where the dough at, baby?

In the bank, you know I ain't tryna blow that, baby"


7. Venmo is life.

It keeps track of what you spend and if you don't transfer money right away, it can stay in your account when you need it.


"Boy go hard when collecting, got Venmo"


8. Buy cheap food.

When you have a craving for takeout, make sure it's cheap and affordable. Like Chinese food or McDonald's.

"General Tso, half a dozen on the stick

Just so I can whet the appetite a bit"


9. Ask people for favors.

Lil Dicky made an entire music video with two of the hottest rappers right now and the song is making him ridiculously famous. He asked all of the people, venues and contributors to do it for free, and they did.

There you have it. These are some pretty stupid ways to save money, but at least we all got a kick out of Dicky's song for the past few months.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
