When you know you're a broke college student

[gracefulc]

How bout this for a topic: What things have you done/encountered that made you realize you were a totally broke college student?

My example; I just ate ice cream using a plastic knife, cause I don't own any forks or spoons and was too lazy to walk to the dining center... :(

When you bring your canteen to the dining hall and fill it with pink lemonade.

When you beg to use mealpoints to buy office supplies at the bookstore.

[Gambit]

...when you get kicked out of the dining hall for sneaking in because you didn't have any meals left in the first place...

[Redleg]

When, after being out of college for 6 years and an illustrious active Army career, you're still broke, paying off college loans.

[AirborneAli]

good God, what the hell college did you go to?

[Gambit]

Wait... is that more because of the size of yuor loans, or the size of your Army paycheck?

[Sammy Sandbag]

Hmm.... This topic was made for Domer. I'm suprised he hasn't chimed in with something like "I eat cold beans straight from the can on a regular basis" or "I can't afford cable, phone, or soap..."

[Domer]

Hey, i can afford cable... what do you think I am, a savage?

[Zirkowitz]

ummm.... yeah.

[Gambit]

Hence the lack of a comment on the phone or soap, I guess...

[Ezmartini]

I sneak cereal from the dining center into my coffee mug every morning because I'm too poor to buy a box.

:D You pay off $15 for a sweater in spare change, all in quarters, nickles and dimes, and mostly pennies straight out of your pocket. True story too! took a lot of time counting the change,

[Hammer6]

See I'm more of a "take all of your change to the EZ Change machine" at the grocery store kind of guy. Then I spend the money on beer - and later, when I realize I don't have any milk or bread, figure out that I'm an idiot.

[Domer]

I heard the part about the beer, but what's "milk" and "bread"?

[Ponchspayback]

dude you have change sweet...........i just beg for beer......and then find fat pathetic chicks at the bar to buy me drinks until 2 when im like see ya later

[Domer]

Can't say I haven't used that one before, Ponch. I mean, whatever works, man...

[thisguy]

[The Sharaffe]

Cheap!?! He didn't sign for shit, that's beautiful!

[StuporMunky]

Until you've been living in London for TOO LONG. And then decide to go traipesing through Europe with your girlfriend. Debt-credit card debt especially, sucks.

[TheTokenGook]
