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.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
