In college, there's nothing more agonizing than trying to focus on schoolwork when your week of lounging on the beach or vegging out at home is only a few days away. Waiting for spring break makes even these collegiette struggles look easy!

At this point in the semester, our brains are ready to burst thanks to schoolwork, job and internship applications and the everyday bustle of college life.

It's inevitable. The school you once called home will call you up after you've hung your cap and gown, and ask for donations.

One problem - where do you get the money it takes to restock an entire wardrobe? Another cliché is the broke college student. But again-that's actually a real thing. So finding the funds for a mega shopping spree (especially without giving up Sunday brunch with the girls and late night Dominos) can be tricky. The hard truth? You probably won't just stumble upon a couple thousand bucks, so you have to get a little creative.
