“Are you alright? You must be really surprised. Sorry.”
To all my freshman babies who are panicking right now about how much your college textbooks cost: Yeah, you’re right, that’s some highway robbery. No, you don’t have to lie down and take it. You have options. Follow my advice and fly on your own debt free wings.
1. Forgoe the bookstore entirely. Sometimes you can get a good deal on something, usually a rental, but it’s usually going to be considerably more expensive to go through official channels. Outsmart them, babies.
2. Does your syllabus call for edition eight? Get edition seven. Old editions are considered worthless in the buyback trades, so they sell for dirt cheap, no matter how new they are. It’s a gamble, sure; there might be something in edition eight you desperately need, but that never happened to me. However, I’ve only ever pulled this stunt for literature/mass comm/religious studies books, so I don’t know it would work in the sciences.
3. Thriftbooks.com, especially for nonfiction and fiction. Books are usually four or five dollars unless they’re really new, and shipping is 99 cents unless you buy over 10$ in books, in which case shipping is free.
4. Bigwords.com. It will scan every textbook seller on the internet for the lowest price available, and will do the same to find the highest price when you try to sell your books back at the end of term. Timesaver, lifesaver.
5. In all probability, your library offers a service called interlibrary loan which is included in your tuition. This means if your library doesn’t carry a book you can order it for free from any library nationwide in your library’s network and it will be shipped to you in a number of days. Ask a librarian to show you how to search for materials at your library as well as though interlibrary loan; you’ll need to master this skill soon anyway. If you get lucky you can just have your required reading shipped to you a week before you need to start reading, then renew vigorously until you no longer need to item. I’m saving over 100$ on a History of Islam class this way.
You professors might side-eye you for bringing an old edition or a library copy, but you just smile right back honey, because you can pay your rent and go clubbing this month. You came here to win. So go forth and slay.
Can I add to this? 6. Find PDFs of your book to store on your computer. I managed to find an up-to-date edition of my textbook for sociology by doing this, and other books for other classes. It may be risky to have to look high and low for them, but it’s a godsend trust me
Other things to help college-bound kidlets:
Get Windows Office free.
If you’re having a panic attack.
When you’re writing a term paper.
Cheap school/college things. (Not all links are active, but still.)
College tips.
Cheap or free college books
Hobbies. (Because sometimes you need to turn off your brain.)
Libre Office. (Because Windows sucks.)
Practice in case you’re attacked.
If you have to deal with cops. (Especially important for POC because racism is still alive, sadly.)
I hope you find someone who doesn’t make you sad at night and someone who reminds you how much they love you every day and who laughs at your jokes and wants to listen to your music and who genuinely what’s to be with you and doesn’t make you second guess their love for you. I really hope you find that. Because you deserve that.

Oh my god. I tried arranging my books by colour once. Tried it by size. Tried it by book name or author name. I can never find the perfect system. But this is beautiful.

Ok so a few years ago my brother got married on April fools day, and he called my dad and he was all “dad guess what I got married” and my dad was like “haha funny happy April fools day” except my brother had actually gotten married. So a few months later, my brother calls “hey dad, Sara’s pregnant” and my dad’s all “wth who’s sara” and my brothers like “my wife. We got married on April fools day so you didn’t believe me, remember?” And long story short my niece just turned 4 and my dad is still pissed about that
