I have been wanting to create this blog for a while, but I couldn’t seem to find its focus. I wanted to make a blog about something I’m passionate about, but when I really thought about it, I’m not passionate about any one thing. I’m actually passionate about a lot of different things. Animals, traveling, exercise, eating, television, books, art, friends, shopping, cooking, writing, health, music, yoga, dancing…the list is endless. And sometimes my passions can get expensive to keep up with. And then it hit me, saving and making money. That’s something I do (okay, try to do) every single day. And I think I’m pretty good at it. It’s tough juggling schoolwork, a social life and daily meals, all with a depleting back account. But I’ve survived three years of college busy, happy and fed. So, I want this blog to serve as a helpful tool for young people in my position who are looking for ways to save and make money while in school. My posts will be about things I do to live the life I want while on a college budget. I also want this to be a conversation, so please feel free to share some of your ideas by emailing me at thestarvingstudent1@gmail.com.
