You Know You're A College Kid When. . .

*warning this post may contain words that make some men uncomfortable*

Hello friends and family!
Here I am sitting in my bed, way after my bedtime, updating you on my life!
I'm going to start a new series of posts called "You Know You're a College Kid When . . . " which, I might also refer to as YKYACKW in the future for the sake of me pre-tendentious hands.

Today I'm going to tell you about my most recent shopping trip.
I'd like to start off by pointing out, that in case you didn't know I don't have a car with me at college. Many of you know, that this doesn't matter anyway. because I may have a slight fear of driving, but nonetheless I am car-less.
Well, my roommate, Megan, decided to go to Walmart yesterday. When this happens I get super excited, because it's my chance to get off campus! Not only that, but I was in desperate need of a few grocery items.
Lucky for me, I had gotten two giftcards for Walmart for Christmas, equaling $35.00's so I was pretty pumped going in with the mindset that I didn't have to spend actual money (wootwoot!) If I was really awesome, I would do what the giftcard was intended for, and buy myself something extra and nice for Christmas, however I'm a college kid which means that isn't going to happen.

Well my shopping list consisted of the following:
1-Tampons
2-Rechargeable Batteries
3-Black Eyeliner
4-Face Wash
5-Birthday Card
6-Carrots
7-Red Nail Polish
8-Index Cards
9- Deodorant

Now, what I was thinking while buying these items:
1)Ohmyeffinggosh isn't it bad enough that girls have to get periods, but they make these so bloody expensive! They should give them to us for free because they feel so bad! (. . . probably not the best choice of words ;) )

2) I got two for Christmas, but unfortunately my camera takes four. They were like $10 to buy, but it'll be worth it considering how fast I go through batteries with my camera.

3) I know I don't NEED to wear eyeliner, but it's pretty much the only makeup I wear and it makes me look less dead on nights I stay up too late doing homework and studying (like tonight)

4) It was needed. Stress does NOT look good on me. On an extra smiley side note, I just used it for the first time, and it smells like a pina colada. Now, everytime I wash my face I close my eyes, splash water on my face, and pretend I'm in Mexico or Aruba. It's like my own personal getaway!

5) I know a lot of crazy awesome people who's birthdays are coming up. It's the least I can do, due to how far away I am. I've gotta let them know they're on my mind and in my heart!

6) I am trying to be healthy, and I needed something crunchy so I didn't result to stealing my roomies pretzels. She shuns upon this, as does my chub.

7)Okay- so this was definitely not needed, but I look even more badass when my nails are red and I'm wearing my leather jacket. Plus, it was only 98 cents.

8) I'm a flash card freak! Did I mention I have a test tomorrow? I was serious about the fact that I was studying tonight.

9)Yeah, much needed. Especially now that I've gotten pretty good at working out everyday, the whole world is going to be grateful of this purchase.

Okay so overall, my total came out to be $35.41
Yeah, I had to hand over one of the crumpled dollar bills I had in my wallet. It definitely looked like stripper money, and I could only wish that was the case- I would make great money doing that at least.

Overall my points are this:

1) YKYACKW you spend your Christmas money on tampons and batteries
2) YKYACKW you consider being a stripper to pay for your college tuition.
