Books, Books, & More Books.

As the end of the first semester is ending it's time to order those dreadful books again. Die. The lingering question in my head is why do textbooks have to cost so much money?! We already pay big bucks for tution, shouldnt that pay to borrow books? It's not like I will ever use them again.

I was able to cut down this semesters book costs by about $100 dollars. It helps when there are a few great websites where you can rent books for a cheaper price. The two websites that I looked and compared prices from were campusbookrentals.com & valorebooks.com. Then of course ISU has their "SPECIAL" books that can only be boughten from the book store. For example my math book. It costed me about $120 but if I want to sell it back to them at the end of the semester they will only give me around $20 back. That is so lame. Colleges need some sense knocked into them. I am already poor then I have to whip out all this money. Aint nobody got time for that!
