As a college student I can really appreciate the simple things in life. While we are learning higher information at our institute of higher education, we know that there are certain things you never unlearn. There are other things that revert back to those of your childhood years. The simple things you may learn are that you can go to cheap outlets and shop by the pound. That means the entire store has just a bunch of donated stuff that you can have and you pay by putting your shopping cart on the scale.
What kind of stuff can you find there? Everything, everything someone may have owned before and now parted ways with, including old dishes, clothes, shoes, books, TVs, paintings, and letters from mothers saying she is fed up of paying rent and will not send more money... ever.
I ended up with picture frames and old books, from which I ripped pictures and put them in the frames. Voila! Immediate classy pictures for my home.
Also, I learned people go crazy when new stuff come in the carts and you do NOT want to get in their way... crazy I tell you.
I also reverted back to my wonderful child self by spending study breaks drawing with my fingers. It was glorious, fulfilling, and relaxing. We talked about the wonders of naps, and decided to have another study break two hours later, during which we got frozen yogurt.
