Don't They Understand College Kids Don't Have Money?

So, I think I'm coming to the root of why some kids have no money.
Granted, there are some that drink and party, and that's where their money goes.

Mine does not. I'm not much of a drinker, and I've never been a partier
My money is going towards textbooks...

Today, my total at the bookstore came to $451.65
Which is completely outrageous...
After a $150.00 book scholarship, I still ended up paying $273 something
This doesn't count the two other books I managed to get on clearance because a bookstore in town was closing
And it doesn't count the two other books that are on order in the bookstore.

Nor does it count the course packets a lot of teachers require.
We have this place in town called Wordsmiths, which is a lot like a Kinkos.
Basically, they put together pages of readings, and charge you upwards of $30 for them...

This is why I have no money.
