Books Suck!!!!
Good afternoon, everyone. I hope all of you students had a great three day break like me. Well it’s official: football offseason has officially begun. Last night we did our 20’s, vertical jump, height & weight and digger agility. Now the next three days we will be doing our max lifting so we can base our lifting schedule for the next three months. It felt really good to get back with the team and see everyone again. It’s weird being with the football team from August till November, and then it seems like everyone has their own clicks outside of football. The topic for the rest of my blog is going to be books. I think that it is absolutely ridiculous that our books for school are so freaking expensive. My total for books for just this current semester was $600. Now how are college students who are broke as it is, expected to pay that much money for one semester of books? So let’s say on average you pay $600 per semester and you go five years like me, that’s a total of $6,000 just for freaking books. I even bought my books off the internet which probably saved me somewhere around $200. I think that you should be able to rent the books from the bookstore for a flat rate of like $25 or $50, and then at the end of the semester, if you don’t wreck the book or lose it you will get your money back. You might ask well what happens if I rented a book and never returned it, well you would get charged full price for it and it would just go on to your student fees. Well everyone I hope you all have a great week!!!!!!!!
