Welcome to the college lifestyle...
You're about to get better acquainted with life on limited means. Milk crate furniture. Garage sale accoutrements. Roommates. Count on forgoing some of the creature comforts you used to enjoy—it's a vital part of the student experience.
Now's the time to focus on the huge goals and aspirations that brought you to campus. It's OK to let the little things wait until after graduation.
