10 Things to Buy with Money Your Textbook Resold For

By Margaret Jones | 3/4/16 9:00am

'Twas the end of week nine and all through the halls,
Every student was studying (in between bawls);


All their textbooks were lugged to Blobby with care,
In hopes that great grades soon would be theirs;


The lucky ones, nestled all snug in their beds,
Had visions of spring classes dance in their heads;


New profs and new classmates, and needing to look,
Online to buy all the required textbooks;


And inside their brains there arose such a clatter;
Just how will they pay for these books? That’s the matter!


But up on the internet, they happen to know,
You can sell old, used books for that ca$h money flow!


They rush to their laptops in vain just to see,
An oh so grim screen, just as plain as can be.


Tears filled their eyes as they stared on in sadness,

An image suddenly pops into their minds,
Of the one true culprit they’re trying to find;


Nothing in the world wants their debt to be bigger,
Than the infamous term – academic rigor.


They were angrier now than Bellatrix Lestrange,
“What the hell can we buy with this mere pocket change?”
