Buy some furniture.
Pro: We really really need a couch...and a dozen other things.
Con: None that I can think of really, except that it would eat up most of the money, and it would be mine + Seth's first joint furniture investment...so it better be a nice couch.
Pay toward my credit card.
Pro: Makes me feel responsible
Con: It won't nearly pay it off completely, so won't feel too emotionally satisfying. Plus I can't sit on it and watch tv.
Mexican vacation.
Pro: Satisfying post-graduation gift (I'm going regardless if the money goes there or not).
Con: None. Ok, maybe a tiny bit of guilt for not being at least a little responsible with it. Compensate by putting some toward my credit card?
Paying Centenary the balance I still owe from senior year.
Pro: They will stop sending me notices and I can return their calls guilt-free.
Con: Just kidding, I'm not doing this.
Save it.
Pro: This will probably come in handy when I can't find a job for the six months after graduation.
Con: uuugggghhhh. What am I, a bank?
This.
Pro: Yes.
Con: None.
Update: zomg.

What the f is that??
P.S.--Want an even FATTER refund? Get married. DUDE. But instead of buying something cool, I think we're going to be super-mega-ultra lame and put it in savings for a house. BORING.
It's a Kindle 2 and I want one super bad. I added links to the pics so you can read the propaganda and drink the kool-aid too.
Jessica - I think we are also going to be super lame and put ours in savings for a down payment on a house (though I seriously tried to convince Mark that we needed to go to Germany/Amsterdam instead). Being a responsible adult sucks.
KINDLE 2 IS THE DEVIL.
That's all I'm saying, all those people in the videos? POD PEOPLE.
Ok, so maybe you can carry 1000 books around in purse at once, but is that really going to help you read more books or is it just going to make you ADHD (like it would me)? Also, you can't write on it. And it doesn't smell like books. And you can't sell kindle books back on Amazon marketplace if you think they suck. And it's evil.
But I won't judge. It would be easier to haul cross-country than a behemoth book collection.
I would rather have a couch than a Kindle. A couch and a Mr. Daiquiri.
BUT, you can download a 300 page book in under a minute. And I was thinking I would use it for books I want to read but maybe not necessarily buy (sort of like how I like downloading cd's before I buy them). And then I can delete them. I rarely read the same book twice anyway.
I really am torn though, because I'm a huge fan of used book stores. But on the other hand, new paperbacks are up to like $16 now.
Since I'll be done with school I won't be writing in my books anymore anyway. It also has a built in dictionary, so if you're reading you can highlight the word and it looks it up for you automatically. And that's pretty freaking sweet.
Do you know what would happen if you could download a 300 page book in under minute? You would download 300,000 pages worth of books everyday. lol
I so would. I love the internet.
