More Home Finding

So as you know I'm back up north with the family until I can move into my apartment( for realz this time) down south. Well due to the extreme costs of college my parents have decided to downsize on their house. Well this is what they keep telling me at least. Truthfully I think they just want to move for fun or something. We went and looked at about 7 houses today. All of them were just about as big as our current house or similarity priced...some where just plain bigger and better. I'm not sure exactly what they are thinking. Two kids in college plus another about to finish high school this year? That's a lot of stress on the wallet. So I've dicided to help do my part I'm going to go ahead and try to limit how much money I'm spending.

I've been reading this sites advince on its 118 ways to save money in college..Perfect right?

So far here are a few I really need to implement:

#7-Save that spare change you’ve got jangling in your pocket or sloshing around in the bottom of your backpack or purse in a big jar or can somewhere out of the way.

#9-Be cheap

• Buy the cheap stuff. Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old English 40 oz. bottles come to mind ;)
• Buy in bulk. A cheap 5th of Vodka might cost about the same as a drink or two at a bar.
• Drink where the specials are. Some college bars and dance clubs have pitcher specials, 1 dollar drink specials, no cover charge, or other specials for people going out early or going out on slower nights.
• Pre-game if you do drink heavily.
• Don't bring much money with you to limit how much you drink and spend.
• Hit other people’s parties.

#28-If you’re on a date, prepare a simple, candlelit dinner and stay in; it’s not the food that counts, but the ambianc. Get your roommates to stay out for the night. Bonus ambiance tip: don't forget the Courvoisier. 

#29-Save your tip if the pizza guy gets lost, your order is messed up, or he is lacking in customer service and general niceness.

#36- Decline extended warranties. Your computer should be under manufacturer’s warranty for the first year anyway. Companies dupe you into believing the plan is worthwhile. They become rich off your extra cash. Anything extra is likely just….extra.

#41-Forget about the T.V. You can watch cable television through your computer. Make sure your desktop or laptop has a DVD/CD player and you can also watch your favorite movies. Your laptop has graphics equal to most HDTVs, so enjoy.

#76-Don’t shop hungry, and that goes for any kind of shopping. If you’re in the grocery store, you’ll grab more and spend more; if you’re somewhere else you’ll probably spend more than you planned getting something to eat. Carry a snack in your purse or backpack.


#110-We're not endorsing prostitution, but if you can give some of yourself by donating blood plasma, you can net an extra couple hundred dollars a month. But, be careful if you try combining this with alchohol. ;)

 And at that, I leave you with the amazing dancing dog.

Hard Studies

With my Calc2 final coming up this Wednesday I have been buckling down and trying to really learn my stuff. But I gotta say that after a long days work some good old internet surfing is just what I need before I get some rest. Tonight I was trying to find some fun you tube videos to watch. Something I haven't seen that would make me chuckle. Not too hard to ask for. Sadly I wasn't really getting anything that great. A found a few good videos and a few weird videos I'll share with you all in hopes you will send me some links to some of your favorites!






So my cousin posted this earlier and its really too simple to not be good. Cute kids with bad English=always funny. Auto tune it into a strangely catchy song=awesome. Now after watching the video try to imagine what lasagna looks like and it gets even better.




This next video is an add to refinance at some local car dealer somewhere. Wether or not it was any success I don't know. I'm not sure why I watched this to begin with but I thought it was quite a strange add. I didn't really feel like refinancing or anything after seeing it and if I thought the party was lame looking. Truthfully I think I would try to stay away from the dealer after seeing that commercial!




Now here is a good commercial. Classic funny and not at all does it put me off.

Well anyway, This is about the time I get back to looking over Calc once more before hitting the sac. Don't forget to link me some of your favorite funny videos!
