College Library Rent

I was in college for five and a half years for a four year program prior to graduating, and I paid my way through the whole thing. There are some books that you might want keep afterward for reference, but in all honesty it’s unlikely that you will use them once you’ve graduated from college. Which I did want to do.

I’m 47, married, and living amongst the cornfields in a college town in the Midwest U.S. I’ve been an architect, day-care teacher to toddlers, and library clerk, but am currently a SAHM to a 14yo son and 9yo daughter. We rented at first, but the rental situation in our new town was poor. Enjoying some outdoor time.

The local library Every year my son, a book lover, signs up for the local library’s reading program. Some locations also offer shoe rental passes, so you can rent bowling shoes at a discount. They can redeem the points for online prizes. Free math programs. Go Frugal'

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). Eventually, when I was married and working at a library I ordered my own copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette–and I still have it! Biggest mistake ever.

Can’t believe I live here – a lake near my house Because I’ve lived so many different places, I’ve seen first-hand how good use of available resources can really improve overall community experiences, such as community gardens that utilize city-wide composting programs, to libraries, cycling infrastructure.

Rent a movie or borrow one for FREE at the library. Go to a local college production. Check bars or restaurants with live local bands or singers. Many times there won’t be a cover charge to these events. Many parks put on concerts at different times of the year, too. Visit a local high school sporting event. Be a kid again.
