Back to school time has arrived at my house. The pile of inspirational vintage books shown above are from my collection ~~~ not text books:)
My son rents books for his college courses. The campus library has books available for students to rent if you are first inline to grab one off the shelf. The renting does curve the price downward but still very pricey! The books not including the cost of each course can range from 65.00 up to 125.00 per class. Talking to other parents with students in college agree that this is an average price for books but I think it is very high...I kind of freak out each semester my son blurts out the extra money he needs for books...What? How much?
Why can't the college come up with a universal system for students enrolled to be able to download books at a lower cost online? Maybe some colleges are practicing this concept I sure hope so!!! So far it has not happened for my son. We have found a few good deals on Amazon to buy the books, but it just depends on the course subject.
Any new parents out in blogland sending your kids to college make sure and budget for books because a full time student will spend an average of 500.00 or more for one semester. Yikes!
I was remembering how I use to complain about all the books my kids would need for Junior High and High School~~~ well not anymore!
This photo above is from Pinterest I love the inspiring images I have come across on their site. Check it out some time!
I captured a fun photo with these two "back to school" young ladies.

Back to work, thanks for listening to my whining!
Sorry to my son for freaking out for another semester. Love you Kyle!
