8.0.8. Deor Mom and Dad, I know before school begun, you warned me to watch my spending and to keep record of oli my expenses. Following your excellent advice, I've done just that. Yet somehow i seem to be running or Iittie short on cash. it seems coilege life is ridiculously expen- sive. If you could PLEASE SEND MONEY . . . Begging the parents is always 0 sleozy feeling. But you're at the end of your savings and have no choice. You owe oli your friends. Every store in the Quad Citie: has your credit cord number on fiie os unocceptobie. and the bank is about to repossess your bicycle. For most, the problems of freshman finances carry into the sophomore, junior. and even senior yeor of checkbook blues. Early In the toll everyone's got 0 fat bilifoid. Why is it that by mid-morch everybody's flat broke? Where did all those hord-eomed summer bucks go? Well, let's see. There were those dorn text books. Oh, and o few Domino's pizzas to get you through those tote night study sessions. Conveniently. your Mr. Friendly cord was handy during needy times for quick cash. A coupie of hefty bor tobs accounted for o portion of your debt. You even had to pay for that bad haircut you were sporting forever. Who responsi- bly refers to their budget before ordering munchies at the Hordees drive through window? What's even worse is paying for life's iittle necessities you always took for granted at home. Like the bottle of aspirin you bought the morning otter your 2151 birthday, and the groceries from Hyvee you bought when your meolcord points run out. And then there was that cool new Augieweor which the schooi store come out with that you had to get before they sold out. Or that new Survival tape you got since your roommate plays the some music over and over again. Of course. video rentals from Hogan's can odd up, and then there was the snow suit you had to buy at Southpork to keep you from freezing to death in your igloo of o house since the heating bills were so high you turned it off. The months worth of laundry you did out of courtesy to those who sit near you in class was costly. Why. even personal hygiene items iike toothpaste run up biils you never planned on. And like you can reoily afford Not to invest in toothpaste! When accounts are low it's so easy to write a bod check, Like the one for the Tribune bill from when you subscribed in the college center for the free. once-in- o-Iifetime opportunity to get that neot-o musicoi col- cuiotor. And oh yes, the Augie squeeze bottle. sold for a limited time oniy in the snack bar. was on item you couldn't live without. Then there were those fines for overdue library books, tickets to the Quod City An- gels, mandatory purchases at Lee's, batteries for your wolkmon. and those monstrous expenses for school suppiies. You were nice enough to coil your porents on their anniversary and then got stuck with the Telecone nect bill. On top of oil that, you're expected to Christ- mos shop, donate at church, and pay to go to porties! Expenses and bills but no money. You don't even know how to scrape up means to get 0 stomp for that letter to your parents . . . yes, college iife can be a financial burden. Any Augie student can tell about the check- book blues. - Louro McNuity Student Life 24
