College: Livin' on a dime

Looking back to when I was a college freshman, there were so many things I wish I had known. I wish I’d known how to parallel park, that fried chicken in the cafeteria was on Tuesday, the Freshman 15 is certainly not a joke, and that studying would require much more than the 10 minutes of time I gave it in high school. But mostly, I wish someone had explained to me how to budget my money well.
