In this economic downturn, I’ve seen students do some truly creative things to try and save money. Why, just last week, I happened upon the commons during a cookie social and saw several students who had the right idea: unfold your napkin and stock up for later. I’m not saying that anyone at school is particularly starving and needs to store up some rations because they don’t know where their next meal will come from. But there is something to be said about forward thinking. Instead of spending 5 bucks at Kroger on a pack of Chips-a-hoy, why not take an extra cookie or two from the commons and save it for that sweet tooth later. Another place students are scoring swag? At the co-op after hours when they have to give all of those salads and sunrise sandwiches away. In this economic downturn, not only are students tapping into their inner pre-Prince Aladin, but they are doing so in style.
