Free is Always in the Budget
September 25th 2007 18:38
"Free is always in the budget" is a quote from a professor I had at my first school. (It was for a stupid class that was a waste of time and money, but that's a whole other story). His point was, if they are giving out free food somewhere on campus, you should be there.
This is a good philosophy for college students, especially if you live on campus. If you live on campus, it doesn't cost you any money in gas to get to the free food. Plus, that's one less meal you'll have to buy for yourself that week.
Most likely your school has it's own website, and posts messages about events like this. The one for my school is actually found after you sign in with your school email address. Always check those messages. If it says "FREE," it is definitely worth clicking on to see what it's all about.
Here, we've recently had free pizza from the Student Alumni Association, free root beer floats (and some other goodies I was too late for) from some religious club on campus, and the library had an extravaganza in which it gave out free hot dogs, a drink, and some other random things (like lanyards)! None of this required me to sign up for anything.
You pay lots of money in tuition every year, so why not take the free stuff they offer? (Although the library thing was probably paid for by my tuition anyway).
It's just a thought.
