  • Today was the first day of Spring semester! I'm so excited for a fresh start. In today's vlog I went to my 8:30am Chem class, worked on some notes for chapter 1, went and got a raw juice, and showed you guys how I made dinner! :) #collegedayinmylife #springsemester

    Yep, NEVER buy books at the bookstore unless it’s a last resort! Seriously, these days they upcharge 200% on most books, even used, since they’re not the only game in town anymore (thanks to Amazon, Chegg, etc)

    I absolutely love your vlogs! It makes me so less anxious about going back to school this semester. I just got accepted into the nursing program and now I have two jobs to help me pay for my tuition and textbooks. One of them is on campus and the other is working at Target. I’m the type of person that stresses out so easily when I find out information that’s not to my liking but your videos help calm my anxiety. So thank you so much! 👏🏼

    Just a warning, Chegg is super cheap but if you are renting, you can highlight in it (but barely). You will have to pay full price if it has a normal amount of highlighting. It pretty much has to be like new when sent back. I use amazon and you can highlight sooo much while renting and they will still take it back no problem. I have had a 800+ page textbook, pretty much covered in highlights and they didn’t charge me full price.
    If I have an access code, I will purchase directly from the site when registering for the site and it’s significantly lower price. Like for example I had to buy 2 McGraw-Hill connect access code and the bookstore quoted me $140 a piece, so $280 for both. Bought it directly from McGraw-hill sit today and got them both for $160 ($80 each).
    Lastly if it’s not on amazon or an access code then I’ll just get digital which is always much cheaper than print.
    Hope this helps anyone!

    Good luck on your spring semester. I love using chegg because cheap and easy used. When I used chegg, I rent e text books on chegg app or chegg website on my iPad. The e- textbooks rent are cheaper than original textbook at bookstore.
