Ok, it's my first year at college and the 2nd semester is over. Time to sell back my books, right? Well, I bet I've paid ~$650 for books over the two semesters, which is nothing compared to a lot of my friends. I bring my books up to the register and they give me $90 for 4 books, one was a massive Science/nutrition book, 1 was a misc. reading book for a history class (small paperback novel) and two were training books, nothing big. Now I'm stuck with a fat econ book, a few more training books that they wouldn't take back because they have enough, 2 custom math books (Thompson Publishing SUCKS DONKEY NUTS!), 'outdated' english book, and a sociology book.
Now, the only one I would bother to keep is the Sociology book...what can I do with the rest? What do you guys do? How can colleges keep doing this? As far as I'm concerned, I may as well save them for when I graduate, shred them into confetti or something, and use them at a party...
