You're thinking, are you a robot? Or is that an international phone number? Nope.
That is the ISBN of a book I am dreading to buy.
I just got assigned reading at my first class (which was yesterday) and due by tomorrows class.
I have never bought a book through my university's bookstore.
I am all about saving money, which I have!
Unfortunately since this book is at such a high demand by my professors monotone voice, I need to skedaddle my behind to the book store. UGH. Heck he's not even my professor. Well ya see, he is but hates being called DR. (you have your PHD flaunt it dude), nor Professor (Like excuse me who are you). He just prefers mister. WE ARE NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL. Jeez, why can't you just let me feel old for like a sec?! Alright, awesome.
This is also the first semester I have gone without buying my books before hand. #Lazycomeswithage. On the reals, there are so many perks of buying a book online.
...like you save a HELLA amount of money. I'm talkin' 40-90% over here. If you are a college lady (or gent, hey yo!) you know how we do aaaaanything to save money! I'm not sure even why college text books have to be so much money when throughout high school you never pay a single cent. Can it just be the other way? Maybe?
If you rent or buy (you can do both...keep reading!!) through www.campusbookrentals.com you get FREE SHIPPING BOTH WAYS. Now remind me why you would ever turn that down? Nope not me.
I hate to give you lists here but I think its so important especially if you are in college so here are some other key facts about CampusBookRentals.com, and I am excited to use!
-YOU CAN HIGHLIGHT IN THE TEXTBOOKS. great reading tool in college. I am so excited I rented a book from them and are trying it out ;)
-flexible renting periods. I've had experience with flake-y renting companies (going unnamed) and lost a ton of money because of the inflexibility of their time slots. Make sure they are reliable sites, like this one ;)
-They donate to operation smile. Which I think is so important. read up here
while pausing to write this post I literally was just in an hour panic for buying books. I decided to go on CBR and I just bought a 150 dollar book for $14 plus shipping and it's the same price no matter the rental period. It just saved me so much!
this is me stressing out yesterday when trying to figure out books.
DO YOU NOTICE MY ACNE?! HELP!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can also rent out the books you have bought and YOU GET PAID. (via www.rentback.com)
RentBack is a new initiative that allows students to rent books they own to other students. Why is it so awesome? It makes it 2 to 4 times better to rent it out than to sell it back!!!!!
Anyone want to buy me my books for the rest of the years? Great. This lady is uber stressed already. And it's only day three of classes.....
