This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
Thatβs my Sociology βbookβ. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; thereβs something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

Spreading this shit like nutella because goddamn textbooks are so expensive.Β
notΒ necessarilyΒ art related but as someone who couldnβt afford their textbooks this semester this is a godsend
REBLOGGING because after aΒ littleΒ digging, I found my $200 textbook for free in PDF form.
friendly reminder that this exists since I know weβre all going back to college soon
reblogging for reference as much for myself as everyone else because fuck I have to pay rent this year unless I want to end up back and home and/or stuck on my parentsβs forever
OMG
