Comment#3 by: Working Student
Student who paid their way through school:
- Joined an org with reasonable dues (and I believe the higher paying ones should offer a payment pla. If they don't, maybe don't join that one);
- Formal dresses from Lulus and combining shipping with other girls, or getting them on sale ahead of time at retail stores. Also swapping dresses with other friends and/or re-wearing outfits for repeat ceremonies;
- Splitting pitchers at bars (and/or pre-drinking)
- Eating before going somewhere and just ordering an appetizer, or splitting something with someone else
I also tended to just go to more of the free or low-cost events. I didn't have an account at the bank of Mom and Dad, and didn't want to graduate with a ton of debt.
Don't feel pressured to spend money, and don't be ashamed to set a limit if something is outside your budget.
