Spare Change

As a unemployed college student, life is hard. Money is hard to come by, and let's be honest, I'll do anything for free food. My roommates and I call it "food whore-dom." Free food is pretty much the best thing that could happen in a day.

Knowing that college was coming soon, last year I started to save quarters for laundry. It turns out that you don't need quarters, you need large bills to put money on your laundry card. It's actually kind of obnoxious, because now I have a ton of quarters that in all reality are useless for anything else I ever will need money for. Let's face it, the use of coins and even currency is kind of a dying practice in today's world.

At this moment you may be thinking to yourself, "Nice points, but they're not really related."

WRONG

Because I don't need all those quarters and I do need food, the quarters have gone to my emergency craving budget. Like last night, I was REALLY craving cookies. So, I walked to the little grocery store across the street, and used three beautiful quarters to pay for some Grandma's cookies. I am looking very much forward to the future use of this spare change.

The food may not be free. But for some reason, I don't feel so bad about buying it.
