Every college student knows what it’s like to be ballin’ on a budget. From memorizing all of the late night food deals around campus to online shopping from prices “low to high,” we know the essentiality of having fun, but keeping it cheap. As Sia once sang, “I love cheap thrills.” New Years Eve is no exception.
