Friends Visiting during the Summer

As mentioned before, I love being back on campus and doing the whole college experience even if I am receiving the watered down summer version of it. Obviously my friends miss their college town just as I did in the spring. Roughly every weekend, at least one or two friends make the voyage back to their maiden collegiate land. Don’t worry; we enjoy each other’s company in true college form.

Their road trips remind me of my previous entries about returning to campus. Now that these friends have their internships and have a couple bucks to blow, they can’t keep the extra dollars from jumping out of their pockets while in town. They want to eat at their favorite restaurant, drink at their favorite bar, and remain entertained. I don’t blame them for wanting to indulge; I just have to remain more reserve will in their presence. I have budgeted for the summer while without income, and I need to stick to that budget. Quite surprisingly, I have taught myself the important financial lesson of restraint.
