Two Weeks into my College Career

It has been exactly two weeks since I have moved in and begun my college career at Washburn University. And I have already found myself spending too much money. I have bought many useless things, including a video game I play whenever I am plagued by boredom. And I will admit I am not regretful for that purchase. Although my very first purchase was buying a basketball for the Rec Center, but I had recently found out that they already have basketballs for us to use. Hopefully I can get my $30 back for the ball, as thankfully I kept the receipt. I frequently find myself eating at restaurants and fast food places spending my own money. Even though I have been given financial aid for food on campus. So in other words, I'm not even using the money I have to pay back after college. Plus, the food at the Union (cafeteria) is great, so I definitely need to get my act together. I recently checked my bank account and realized, I am getting a little low on money. One would say I need a job, but I have already applied for five jobs, and none of them have contacted me back. So that might have to wait for next semester. A positive right now though is my snack situation in my dorm is looking very good, I will not be needing any for awhile. Unless I start binge eating for some odd reason. Looking towards the future, my money spending problem needs to be taken care of and I am very optimistic for that. In conclusion, after my first two weeks of the college life, I have made some poor spending choices and need to tone it down.

Hi, my name is Nick Bray, I am currently a student at Washburn University. I am taking a class this semester called Mass Media Boot Camp, which requires me to write this blog. So this blog is intended for all broke college students, to read about my journey through these tough days. My audience shall go through this experience with me if they so choose.
Here is a map, to show where exactly Topeka, KS is and also where Washburn University is as well.
