I thought that I was too old for this day. Playing gags and trying to fool people really has never been my thing. I guess I tried something different today. I went to my meeting of the First Year Law Student Club in tears. I sat down in the corner and […]

Well the holiday is over. The work/school week is back in full swing and I have a craving for candy. I’ve never been a huge fan of mints, but I love chocolate. I also really enjoy the Easter sweet tarts. Although they taste exactly the same as non-shape ones, there is just something amazing about […]

I used to buy 24 or 48 packs of bottled water at the store. I never realized how wasteful I was being by doing that. Instead, I spent $6 and bought myself a reusable water bottle. Not the kind that you see on a bike, but more of a camper’s water bottle. It is rugged […]

You might not expect this to be an entry about frugality, but I assure you that it is. When I first arrived on campus, I was overwhelmed with all of material they presented me with. I am only now, six months later, getting through all of it. One of the most useful pieces of information […]

I can’t remember if I’ve talked about this yet, but textbooks for school can be unbelievably expensive! And, as you move into graduate and professional degrees, they only get worse. I recommend buying your books online to save a little money. You can buy new books on sites like amazon, usually for less than your […]

I may not be posting for the next few days - I’m driving quite a ways to go to my alma mater’s bowl game on the 31st. You may wonder how a trip like that fits into a frugal girl’s lifestyle. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…living a frugal life doesn’t mean […]
