the devil of college

i hate buying books.
i haven't even gotten all of them yet and i'm already looking at $500 spent.
there are 4 different books i need for 1 class. and it's a math class. what good will 4 math books do for me? and it's elementary math. seriously?
not to mention, i have to buy 2 lab manuals and numerous online codes.

timing is bad for textbooks right now. they haven't quite made the transfer to online textbooks, but they're trying. so this means that we have to buy the hard copy of the textbook, then a code for the online material which is never in the textbook. not to mention that the code is usually around $50-$75.

ugh just kill me. this is stressing me out and school hasn't even begun yet.
sorry, mom for spending so much money. maybe this whole school thing was a bad idea. i mean come on, $500 on textbooks? ridiculous.  i did talk to someone first who is in the college of education at unt. they said that surprisingly, the textbooks do get used a lot. yay? they better get some use for $500 worth.

here's just a few of the costly textbooks i 'invested' in:


looks invigorating right?
oh my sarcasm really kicks in when i'm stressed.
