10 Reasons We Just Can't

Literally, we just can't afford it.

FASFA just wasn't any help.

1. Tuition

Sure! I just graduated high school, I'm fully prepared to pay $10,000 (If your lucky) a year to go to the classes I'm going to skip every other week. You require a meal plan and on campus housing? No biggie! I didn't waste $5 every Friday in high school to see a football game. Its all saved up so I can have off brand cereal from a dispenser.

2. Gas

I'm 276.3 miles from home, but you're is making lasagna tonight? I'll be there.

3. Parking Tickets

Is this a joke? $20 because I wanted Starbs. IT TOOK 5 MINUTES!

4. Greek Life

$50 recruitment fee plus t-shirt (fair enough). Dues $600 - The BEST (and most expensive) friends you will ever have!

5. Drinks

Underage drinking is a serious problem in college, but that doesn't stop you from asking brother/roommates sister/RA/ guy in your Chem lab from buying your wine coolers for Sigma Apple Pie this Friday. Plus they keep the change.

6. Real Food

Because the $5 cravings deal at Taco Bell is better than that sandwich and a McDonald's holiday pie sounds great at 2am.

7. Victoria's Secret

7 for $27. 10 for $35. Semi-Annual Sale. Back 2 Back

THERE'S NO STUDENT DISCOUNT EITHER.

8. Athletics

You can't wear the same joggers to the fitness center twice a week and the $10 yoga classes are fun to skip every other class. If you're an athlete, forget it. $10 Nike socks. $50 backpack. No free time to work.

9. No Toiletries Provided

Where is mom? You never saw these things bought, they were just always there. Now you have to buy them, unless you know where you can get them.

10. No One Will Hire You

Unless you've had 5+ years of experience or you're comfortable saying "Would you like fries with that?" on your Saturday Night you can't get hired.
