Back to School

I'm not sure how many of you are in school, like me..... though probably a fair few. This is a pretty high school/college aged blog, right? I think so. What is my target demographic, anyway? I should really look into that.... anyone know how I'd go about doing that sort of research? Who reads my blog? Housewives? Probably housewives.

Yeah, I'm going with housewives.

So I'm sure many of you ladies have children in college, like me. Course selection is a delicate process. Often time is a factor, so you have to wait up until the website grants access so you can nab the good courses before they fill. Then you have to find a schedule that works... no huge gaps between classes, nothing too early in the day. It's a science. An art. Ask your sons, ladies, I'm sure they can tell you.

But there's one factor you really can't adjust for until it's too late. For poor students like me, it's a problem.


Then it's back to the drawing board... and by then, you're stuck in the loser courses at 7AM.

  1. Text books are the biggest scams. Funny how they constantly come out with a new edition every other year with minor changes so you can't buy used ones too.

  3. Yup, a complete waste of money and the students have to carry a heavy load of books everyday! School has been needing a drastic revamp since a long time ago

  10. At this point I think I've spent more money on books than I have on classes.
