When you know the exact amount of an extra value meal at McD's, and can pay for ANYTHING in change. The pizza guy dreads your call, because he knows he's getting a buttload of dimes!!

I didn't buy a Long Island, but I definitely sold my books back for pennies because I needed grocery money.

Definitely paid for a LOT of stuff in change. I was using my laundry quarters so laundry got put on hold, too.

ok I haven't been in college for several years but I remember my time there all too well, plus I was there for a LONG time so ...

when you have a total of 275$ to last you all summer (the only reason you have this much is you sold your books back) and you make it happen (this was 1994 so 275 went a lot farther than it does now)

when you are excited to find quarters in your couch

when you order food and make it last for lunch, dinner and if you are lucky breakfast (if you happen to get up that early)

when you have to pay for all of you parking tickets that you have accumulated for years in order to get your diploma

When you pay for a pack of cigarettes in change, and you don't even smoke.

When you see all of your best friends almost every day.

When a room only big enough to fit a twin-sized bed and the world's tiniest desk is acceptable, as long as it's the only single left in the house.

My neighbors sold books for classes they were still in at the time so they could buy kegs for a block party.

.... you have to do three loads of laundry: whites, darks, and a seperate load for your school colors.... I have to do a whole seperate load of reds.
I want to know where I can get books that cheap. Mine run average of 160 or so. And I also want to know where you are getting long islands that cheap, I pay at least 6. Not like i drink them anyway cause they taste horrible, but ya get my point.

My room was so small, the dresser had to be wedged in sideways! Out of season clothing was in the bottom drawer, and I had to slide the bed out to get to it.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned pizza as a major food group. Hot for dinner or munchies, cold for breakfast.

I had a bed that had drawers in the bottom of it, and anything that didn't fit in those drawers had to go in the closets of the room next to me.

Incidentally, that room was quite large, but it didn't have an outside window so it couldn't be used as a bedroom.
