Have set percentages for your paychecks. This could mean 10% as a charitable donation, 10% to treat yourself, 20% for investment, 40% for school fees or any other necessities, and 20% for savings in case of emergency. Follow through. 

The biggest thing that many people struggle with is having the discipline to follow through. You, however, are better than that! You do not have to be a broke college student!

What are some tips and tricks do you all have for someone who is looking to financially AND academically succeed at UMBC?

Bought this to read pdfs on through my time at UMBC and I'm looking to sell it off. I don't have the original charger, but it's been working just fine with a generic Micro USB. Comes with a brown faux leather case. It's in great condition. 

$15 and I can meet you on campus.

With great sadness I am writing to inform you about the passing of Marie Christine's father yesterday.  Marie Christine was in France since earlier this week to attend to her father.
