LIVE

This weekend I was in Southwest Virginia in a town called Blacksburg, Virginia where I spent four wonderful years going to college at Virginia Tech before graduating in 2015. I have family who currently lives in Blacksburg, family who grew up in Blacksburg and family who also previously attended and some who currently attend Virginia Tech.

Basically, Blacksburg is my second home.

When I woke up this morning, it finally started to feel like autumn! I’m so excited for colder weather.


Also! As the fall semester is about to begin, I wanted to wish everyone luck and hope everyone has a great semester

My boyfriend’s mother is a professor in a graduate program at a pretty prestigious college.

We go over her house every Saturday for dinner and laundry and socializing.

One Saturday, a bit wine drunk, she gives a big sigh and says ‘I have a test to give Monday I haven’t written yet.’ in such a sad and drained voice.

So, in case you thought only you (students) do this kind of procrastinating… NOPE.

Sitting here on these dryers imagining myself missing this place. This campus. These people. Hard to believe that’s one semester away…

Hello hello, I’m back ig

It’s my recess week of the semester so basically vacations

It’s been an hectic semester and I didn’t find the will to post or when I tried, tumblr didn’t want to. (ʘᴗʘ✿)

Having classes is so haard, and I arrive tired at home, sometimes I have no will to study or can’t focus in the work, but I hope this small vacations can help me reset my brain and have a successful semester (or what’s left of it)

I hope everyone who reads or doesn’t read this , have a great semester ✨

You’re a college student. You’re not rolling in cash, though you wish you were.

So when you’re assigned $100, $200, and sometimes even $400 textbooks, there’s no way you can pay that much.

Try these options instead.

1. Price comparison sites

Websites like SlugbooksandBigWords will allow you to compare used and rental textbook prices from a variety of websites, allowing you to find the cheapest way to get those books.

2. “Rent” from the library

Don’t want to spend any money at all? It’s a stretch, but check with your school library. They might have the textbook you need on reserve, and then you can just visit it when you need it!

3. Get an alternative with built-in study tools

The website Boundless offers a $19.99 digital alternative that is aligned to your assigned textbook and also includes flashcards, quizzes, and study reminders. With these textbook alternatives you can study on-the-go!

4. Share with a friend

If you have a friend in your class with you, split the cost of the textbook and share it. This way, you’ll also have a study buddy! (Make sure you trust your friend if you choose this option!)

Hope this helps – you should have no problem saving money on textbooks now.

Now go rock the semester and enjoy the sound of the extra change in your pocket.
