The joys of being a college student, you are an adult now and time flies by so quickly. All of a sudden you have a huge appreciation for all that your parents provided to you, because today you are the one in charge of finances. If you had parents who were super good with money, then you probably will have no problems, learning how to budget in college, but if you are like most young adults, this whole learning how to budget money is a skill you have yet to master. Today we will share some money tips for college students so that you can learn how to budget those funds wisely.
Separate Needs and Wants
Make a list of all that you need and want each week or day. There is such a thing as daily needs; food and drink are among those daily needs. Be realistic in what you classify as a want versus a need. This is the part where you will learn some self-constraint. A bottle of soda every day may not be a need; rather a preference. A preference can be listed as a want. Sit down to take the time to create a list of needs versus wants and remove all wants from your budget.
Create a Budget Spreadsheet
Sit down to create a budget spreadsheet, have columns set up for dates or week 1, 2,3,4 so that you know how much you need to allot in finances towards needs each week. On the left hand side list out your monthly bills and daily needs. Consider rent, gasoline, college supplies, food and other consistent bills you may have on a regular basis. Calculate each bill down to a weekly number, match weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 with that total. If you get paid bi-weekly or monthly, adjust the week columns appropriately. Stand fi...

Here is what you 'll need.
Supplies
Rubbing Alcohol
Permanent Markers
Canvas Sneakers
Directions:
1. Start off by designing your canvas shoes with your markers. You can do it whichever way you want. Madison and I made them into big blocks of color as shown below.
2. Using a dropper add some of the alcohol onto the color of your shoe allowing it to blend into the other. I found that using the dropper took too long, so I decided to just pour the alcohol onto the shoe and that worked out great for us!
3. Place your shoe to dry which takes about an hour, or less depending on the weather outdoors.
That 's it! Easy peasy!
Now you have your own too cool for school sneakers that you didn 't spend a ton of money on, that is unique and one of a kind and you also have your HP computer that didn 't break the bank. You 've got your budgeting skills on fleek!
Once the first coating dries, apply another layer of dye. Repeat this process until you reach your desired color. Using thin coats can make it the application look even. Usually it takes three to six coatings to achieve a darker look.
When you were a little kid whoever bought your shoes always bought you the ugly Velcro ones that most always had some kind of cartoon character on them or lit up when the shoe hit the ground. Then one day you decided you weren’t a little kid anymore and the cartoon character or light up shoes weren’t cool enough for you. So off the person who bought your shoes went to buy “big kid shoes”. But, there was a problem, you didn’t know how to keep them on your feet without tripping over those weird looking strings. So the shoe buyer went through step-by-step teaching you how to tie your shoes. At the time it seemed like it was an impossible task to accomplish, and it may even still be for some people. Maybe this way will help the young and old that can’t tie their sho...
Athletic shoes were originally designed for sports and other types of physical exercises. Today, they have become a pair of shoes that is used for casual everyday activities because they are so flexible, comfortable and fashionable. Athletic shoes have greater expectations than an ordinary pair of shoes. They were made to increase ones health, for running, and leisure. Athletic shoes can be traced back to the ancient Greek. Runners used to compete barefooted until the Romans mandated them to wear thin-soled sandals. The first “All-purposed athletic shoe” was designed in 1900 and it was made from canvas and featured a rubber rim (Kolecki, 2009).
The life of a Nike shoe begins with its conception – what it will look like, who will buy it, and how it will be used. Every single detail must be planned and attended to in order to ensure the performance product that Nike so ...
To get a handle on those extras, you'll want to put together a monthly budget that estimates your costs. Be sure to include:
Arguably one of the most crucial and impactful years of a person’s life are in college. A college student is expected to identify which type of career they would like to pursue and most importantly find who they really are. Although it is a difficult task, I believe a student is able to get on track achieve these expectations if they remain focused, have a passion for the career type they would like to pursue, and just be open to experiencing several different things. There is simply not enough time to fully understand what type of person you are and who you really are in 4 years. It could take a whole lifetime for someone to find who they are but in college we are expected to find this in most cases 4 years.
"Tomorrow is the first day of what I will become." I wrote this in my diary the night before my first day of college. I was anxious as I imagined the stereotypical college room: intellectual students, in-depth discussions about neat stuff, and of course, a casual professor sporting the tweed jacket with leather elbows. I was also ill as I foresaw myself drowning in a murky pool of reading assignments and finals, hearing a deep, depressing voice ask "What can you do with your life?" Since then, I've settled comfortably into the college "scene" and have treated myself to the myth that I'll hear my calling someday, and that my future will introduce itself to me with a hardy handshake. I can't completely rid my conscience from reality, however. My university education and college experience has become a sort of fitful, and sleepless night, in which I have wonderful dreams and ideas, but when I awaken to apply these aspirations, reality sounds as a six thirty alarm and my dreams are forgotten.
With these three scenarios, I have learned several things about making a personal budget. I learned how to research the economic situation and best predict the prices for certain things. I also learned how best to manage bills under a tight and a very free budget. I learned how to manage money, not just for myself, but for others that I may one day be responsible for.
Dip the brush into the liquid to get a little quantity, which is enough for one nail. Then dip this brush into the acrylic powder. A small moist ball would be formed at the brush end. Apply this to the nail.
3. Run up and down the store with the shoe on. Get a feel of the shoe.
In conclusion, the best way to manage your money is to keep a budget and record all your transaction to see where your money is going. Living with a budget isn’t the easiest thing in the world, but it can be a great alternative to worrying about how you are going to pay for your expenses. Budgeting allows you to create a spending plan for your money; it ensures that you will always have money for the things that are important to you. Following a budget will also keep you out of debt. If you don’t balance your budget and spend more than you make, you will have financial problems. Many people don’t realize that they spend more than they earn and slowly sink deeper into debt every year.
To think that my first semester of college will be over this friday makes me realize how fast time flies. The first few weeks of college were tough, tiring and full of anxiety. Being in a new environment, a different state and not knowing one single person was something that I did not prepare myself for. Throughout all of the tears and the frustrations, I had to constantly remind myself that I am at The University of Akron to gain an education and become a successful individual.
Through the last 13 weeks I have learned about whom I am and what makes me who I am. I have made some great friends not only my age but also older and younger than me. I have realized many things about myself that I never would have realized if I wouldn’t have came here. College is a whole new experience that you could never imagine unless you are there. It is nothing like you read or even that you watch on TV. It is completely different and you learn a lot about yourself as a person.
The first shoes that came from nike were track shoes. Bill Bowerman a very highly thought of coach helped Phil to make the perfect shoe. They experimented with different track surfaces and rehydration drinks. The first shoes were sold for $7.95. But they cracked and busted in the cold. They were only tested in the warm.
