It’s that time of year! Wrapping
up summer internships, giving your notice at your summer job, trying to find
your way back home after your three months abroad. There is a lot to think
about: trying to find a place to live; making sure that you get all your course
books; and what you’re going to do about getting around. You’ve experienced all
the independence of getting around on your own this summer, the last thing you
want to worry about is being stranded at your apartment with that awful
roommate whose bed you want to set on fire. The reality is, you need a car! And
with all the summer earnings you’ve saved up, you have the means to make that
happen. Not sure if this is the right choice for you? Here are five reasons why
we think it is:
1. Convenience
Our first reason
is a pretty obvious one: having a car is incredibly convenient while you’re at
school. You have the ability to go wherever you want, whenever you want. Run to
the grocery store to stock up on ramen as soon as you run out. With a pre-owned SUV, can
you imagine how much ramen you can fit in the back? Enough for you and your
roommate to last for most of the semester.
2. Independence
Not like when
you were living at home driving mom and dad’s car, now you have the ability to take
charge of your life and go and do as you please with a car of your own. In your
own little
hatchback, you don’t have to wait for the bus to ride downtown, or ask a
friend or parent for a ride. No, you are the captain of your own ship, and no
one can tell you what to do.
3. Friends
Let’s be honest,
we all need that friend who has the car. So instead of having to find that
friend, be that friend! Sure, you run the risk of attracting mooches as friends;
but let’s be honest, that’s better than no friends at all. And think about the
potential friends you could make throwing your own tailgate party from the bed
of your truck.
4. Extra Cash
One huge down
side to a car is a car payment. We know this can be a real bummer. You really
don’t have to bust the bank either with so many options costing less than
$10,000. With a car, you can get one of those off-campus jobs that actually
pays better than what you make working at the library computer lab. You also
have the opportunity to make some money off those mooches who are now your
friends. Charge them for rides. Become the Uber of your friend group!
5. Get Away
Last, but not
least, with a car you have the ability to get away for the weekends. Load up
with your friends in your sedan and get out
of town. This is especially good for those who tend to get a little homesick
while at school. With your own car, you never have to miss another family dinner
again. Unless your family lives somewhere like Arkansas. In which case, you
might want to think about saving your pennies for a plane ticket home.
