Trying to get into graduate school is expensive stuff. I mean, I picked up the mall job just to cover costs. Yikes!

That doesn’t include things like postage, gas, envelopes, ibuprofen or notecards. Even the coffee/food budget is a (probably) very conservative estimate of what I spent while I was studying and working on applications in coffee shops or at the library. Goodness. Just know: if you are serious about applying to graduate school, it’s one hell of a commitment.
yikes! That is expensive business. Luckily it paid off 🙂
