Fun Activities!

You're in college! Sure, studying and getting good grades are a priority, but is that how you want to remember college? A part of experiencing the "college life" is to explore your surroundings and see if there are anything that interests you. Here are a small list of the hundreds of things you can do at your college:

1. Intramural Sports (Tennis, Badminton, Basketball, Soccer, etc.)
2. Cultural Student Associations (Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, etc)
3. Clubs (Basically anything you can think of, even fried chicken. Yes, there's a fried chicken club in my college)
4. Parties (Fraternities, Sororities, Dorm, Friends)

There are literally hundreds of things you can do to have fun in college. Don't be one of those people that study all day and have no life. It's up to you to get up, find what interests you, and have the best time doing something you enjoy. All you have to do is go out and find out which one is the best for you!

Financial Situation Part 1

Here are some helpful tips on how to keep a good financial plan in college:

1. Keep a budget.
2. Necessities vs. Luxuries

For #1 on the list, keeping a budget is highly recommended. It is always good to know how much you are making and spending in college. Use managing sites like Mint or mobile apps to help you manage your account. You should divide your income and spending balance into categories such as dining, shopping, education, etc. If you do not work or have any income in college, you should focus only on necessities rather than luxuries.

This brings us to tip #2. Many people fail to realize how much money they have to spend and end up overspending on luxuries rather than necessities. Stick to items like food, textbooks, utilities, etc. Those are things that you should invest most of your spending money on rather than clothes, games, junk food, etc. If you have a job and you are making more than you are spending, you are more than welcome to spend a little for yourself, but most of the extra money you have should go towards education, savings, or even a rainy day fund. 

Overview: All in all, it is always good to keep track of your finances and realize what you're making compared to what you are spending. Try not to spend too much on luxuries if you are in a financial situation and spend more on necessities and things that will help you in the long run.
