  #64: The Beautiful Moment of Book Buyback

  There are two great moments in college. The first involves walking across the stage grabbing that almost sheet of paper known as a diploma, smiling up at your family for 4 years of debt and a job well done. The other, is book buyback season.

  Ah yes, the time of the year when the books you dropped so much cash on finally pays you back, but unfortunately it is a form of roulette. Dollars here, pennies there, you never know what to expect.

  I made $48 back. That’s college rich.
