How to Have Fun Even if You are Broke.
You’ve gone to classes, studied, folded laundry and checked your e-mail. Now what do you do? You’ve only got $10 dollars cash in your pocket and you’re looking for some fun. Here are some ideas for entertainment on the cheap:
1) Go to the library. College libraries are generally open all night long, and many college town libraries have great selections of VHS and DVD movies. Enjoy a movie night, and the best part is it’s free!
2) Call your friends over and play some cards or board games. Learn to play chess. Nothing takes care of boredom like a good friend! A game that I have found interesting is trying to challenge your friends to see how much they know about you. You’ll learn interesting things about your friends and hopefully spend hours having a blast!
3) Check out local museums and attractions. Many are free on certain days of the month, and others offer cheap student discounts. Enjoy some art or a zoo for an afternoon!
4) Concerts and sporting events at your college again offer deeply discounted tickets to students. Spend an evening hearing some good music or attending a game. To make it even more memorable, go with a group of friends.
5) Take a walk around your town. Visit the tourist spots, the historical spots you usually just pass right by. You may discover a small shop or little-known attraction that will spark your interest!
6) Spend the night star-gazing. Pick up an astronomy book at the library; bring a friend and a snack. See if you can find new constellations!
7) Swap old magazines with friends. You both get something new out of the deal.
8) Go to the mall, but leave your cash at home. You can window shop, go with a friend and try things on, but don’t buy! Get ideas for Christmas instead!
9) Lift weights. Most universities offer free access to exercise equipment. You’ll keep busy while you improve yourself.
10) Go bowling. Bring friends, of course!
11) Invite some friends over, turn on the radio, and spend the evening dancing!
Having fun when you are broke in college isn’t too hard, as long as you’ve got friends who are broke too and looking for fun! Try these ideas and figure out some of your own.
