I just feel defeated. Two more weeks and I can leave. But I have the weight of this experience on me because of the amount of loans I had to take out to afford this damn school. Worst decision ever.

I went immediately after undergrad too, and yeah our profs were horrible too...like I didn't work my butt off to get there. Thank god I had it paid for, and got some good travel and life experiences out of it. All I can say is the further out from it you get, the better you'll feel, and eventually it won't feel so terrrible. 2 years when you are 23-24 seems like a long time, but hopefully ten years from now I'll feel differently.

I agree. I graduated in May 2009, worked full time, then went back for a 2nd degree in August 2010...so I came here right after I got my second degree and it's a 6 year program. oops haha i'll be 30 when I'm done /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I feel defeated everyday.

[javagirl87]

I wonder how she did it?! Everything is pretty high priced too!

Also.. do you think it matters what you pink as your big item? Do you girls pick something you want? Or something you think other people will want? When I first started this month, I picked the BCB Rose Clutch, I didn't personally want it but I thought other people would.

Hahah I second this! I remember going back and forth about subscribing so much when I was thinking about getting my first bag because I shouldn't really be spending the money on this stuff... now I'm about to open my 3rd bag.

That's probably a better way of doing it. If you aren't attached to your items you will be able to trade everything. Right now I only have the one thing to work with since I won't trade my watch.

lol, for me my subs are now less about financial budgeting and more about space budgeting. Where am I going to put all this crap?

Something I want, the few times I did it by something I thought wold trade well were a disaster and I regretted not being able to trade for the bag I really wanted when I could have picked it.

I've done it both ways, and I ended up doing better in my bag where I choose something I knew other people would want. It allowed for me to get two really high priced items for it, which I then used to get the bag I wanted. BUT this could always backfire so I guess it depends how bad you want the item and whether you would be okay with the possibility of not getting it.

 

[Playedinloops]

Agh I want to ship this one and choose a new one but i shouldn't.

 

[DaniLeslie]

I am sooo tempted to ship this bag and start another. I want that skull bracelet SO bad. Hmmm...

 

[HelloLeilani]

Both times I was willing to trade my $98 bag are the times I did the best. I took $120+ offers that *included* a bag for my bag + extra items, and went from there. This time I don't have a bag anymore in my mix of stuff, but I do have a lot of high value (both retail and personal value) items that I'm going to love and use for sure. I'm very excited to get this bag shipped. 

 

[javagirl87]

Sigh. No offers while I was gone. Or trades accepted. At least this way I can focus on finishing up my schoolwork and just tell myself if nothing happens by tomorrow I'll just start a new bag

 

[javagirl87]

On the bright side, I just got a Revlon eyeshadow and eyeliner for 3 bucks at cvs /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ok I need help on this one. I really like my bcbg green watch but im getting a 126 offer for it with the nica elletra cross body and a bcbg coil bracelet. Should I take the trade and try to get other things with those items? I'm stuck on this one, I feel like I should just wait until tuesday before doing anything really big.

 

[Christi Z]

BTW, I do not really like the nica bag, i'd just want to get rid of it.

Nice score! I got a revlon lip butter and lipstick for 2 dollars yesterday, plus 4 more extrabucks. I love cvs!

 

[HelloLeilani]

I really want to close my bag and ship. I don't see me trading anything in there unless it's up for a couple of my more desired items, but even at that I'm hesitant as I like what I have already. I actually traded down by about $30 (by offering two item trades for the things I reaaaally wanted) to get where I am. I'm getting about 20-40 offers an hour on all of my stuff.
