College Stories

College Fun? I am a college student with no spending money whatsoever - everything I make goes towards bills. Its not an issue of saving - I "save" money on things that a lot of people dont - I style my own hair, dont get my nails done, no coffee addiction, I shop at Walmart for food/toiletries, havent been shopping for ANY clothes/accessories in many months... I feel stifled because I have no money. I'm in school, and I'll have a career soon, and I'll make money then, but in the meantime... I feel like I'm missing out on life because I'm broke. Pretty much everything costs some money - even road trips, etc. because you need gas money. My college experience seems limited because I don't have rich parents to pay for stuff I cant afford. How do you all deal, or how have you coped with this?

How can one possibly have any fun in college? Currently am a senior in high school, and as a whole, I must say I have enjoyed these years overall.

However, you can not do so in college, so it seems. I don't see how anyone could be excited about college, seems like nothing but work, stress, and agony a hundred times worse then high school.
