Angela Nissel tells us all about being really broke while in college. She originally posted her entries on the web and finally bound them all together, perhaps in attempt to not be broke anymore. Anyone who has ever been short on cash (and who hasn't) will find this outrageously funny. This is one of my all-time favorite books and I just had to share it.

This is one of two copies circulating (long story). The new US-only, bookring version can be be found here.

This book was absolutely hilarious!! My boyfriend always likes to look at my books when I get them in the mail. He isn't an avid reader at all, and when he reads he usually reads books dealing with religious beliefs or medicine. He took a look at this book and started it right away. He read it straight through and I could hear him laughing in the other room!

I enjoyed this book as well. I loved the part about getting the free textbooks! Classic!

Thanks so much for sharing this! I think I'm going to have to get a copy of my own to read again!

Mailed to eriko1908 today!

This one arrived at work yesterday, just a day behind in journalling it. Reading it now, and will have it passed along to Flakes, in short order. Thanks for sending this one out to share, Firegirl!! :o)

This one was funny! I found myself thinking quite a few times...NOW THAT IS A GOOD IDEA!! The text book idea was neat...too bad I've finished with school!! I also liked the idea about the blue jeans, though I do believe that would make me a thief...heck, most of the ideas in this book would make me a thief...guess I haven't been THAT broke just yet!! Thanks for sharing this one, Firegirl!! It headed off this morning to Flakes, hope it is enjoyed by all!! :o)

Journal Entry 6 by Flakes from Bloomington, Illinois USA on Wednesday, October 6, 2004
Arrived safe and sound. I'll start this one right away!

Journal Entry 7 by Flakes from Bloomington, Illinois USA on Friday, October 8, 2004
This book is laugh-out-loud funny! If you were ever a broke or almost-broke college student, you WILL laugh and relate.

I just may buy a copy for all of my friends for christmas (thus helping to insure that Ms Nissel is never broke again)!

Thanks, Firegirl, for sharing this one. I'll be sending it out to SandDanz today! :)

I just received this bookring in the mail. I have a feeling that I'm going to be able to relate to a lot of instances in the book. Looks like a quick read due to it's in "diary format".

Thanks for sharing! :)

Journal Entry 9 by SandDanz from Louisville, Kentucky USA on Monday, October 18, 2004
I've completed this book and found myself laughing hysterically at times! I think people that were around me thought I was nuts. :) I could relate to some of the stuff that she did and that just made it even funnier. I kinda wish there were more diary entries to come, but hence she now has money due to the book, they probably wouldn't be as funny as true life stories.

Anywho... this one will be shipped on to the next person later this week. Sending him/her a PM now to get an address.

Thanks for sharing this book! :)

Received 10-30-04 as part of a Bookring - rcvd from SandDanz.

I've really been looking forward to reading this, I already can't put it down! :)

10-31...Finished the book last night. It went quick, but it was very funny, and I really enjoyed the 'diary' format. It seems like it really ended too soon, and on a note where I would think most readers would like to know what happened. I'm still pondering the free textbook idea. Could I really get away with it? Hmmm.... ;)
PM'ed sweetpea0678 for her addy, and will send out later this week.

Got the book and look forward to reading it as I have heard many good things about it.

I received this a few weeks ago and forgot to register it. I absolutely loved this book! I haven't laughed so hard in a while. I'll be sending on to the next reader this weekend.

Mailed today to FieryFairy. Enjoy!

Journal Entry 17 by FieryFairy from Capel Garmon, Wales United Kingdom on Wednesday, March 9, 2005
This arrived today and so far I'm really enjoying it! It's very funny and I'm just really hoping that I'm not going to be so broke when I get to uni this year. I have to admit though, I have been seriously tempted by the free textbooks idea when I first heard a teacher in school mention something!
