'Tis the season for scavenging... FINALS WEEK!

Don't you ever feel like it would be so much easier to just toss all your dorm junk and start from scratch next semester?  Nahh, you'd never do thaaaat.  Well, you might be surprised to know that people actually DO pitch stuff.  On move-out day, there's a ton of furniture, clothing, food, toiletries, WHATEVER, chillin' around abandoned by their owners.  CUE THE SCAVENGING.  

First of all... FOOD GALORE.  There is so so so so so much food laying around it's becoming overwhelming.  You know those videos where people with laser pointers mess with cats?  That's how I feel.  As soon as I see something wonderful, there's ANOTHER something wonderful and my attention span goes all woogly.  

The kitchen table is strewn with everything from nuts and granola bars to chips and cookies.  Popcorn, teas, salsa, candy bars, boxes of cereal, ramen, the list goes ON AND ON.

But my best food find of all... UNOPENED PEANUT BUTTER.  Bam-- proof that there is a god.  For the past few weeks, I've been stealing little packs of peanut butter from the dining hall.  No more!  I shall be eating from a jar now, ladies and gentlemen.  Movin' on up in the world.  Wanna make bets on how fast this jar's gonna go?  There're 35 servings, so... three days?  That sounds about right.

Another great trash find: tubey things.  Absolutely no idea what they were used for or why they had "fragile" written all over them, but whatever.  Taylor and I found them around 10:30pm and we JUST finished playing with them.  It's now 12:30pm.  Moral of the story: give some stressed out gals plastic tubes during finals week and we can entertain ourselves for hours.

And finally, the CLOTHES.  Holy moly, the things people throw away!  Found some name-brand stuff   with tags, by golly!  Need some retail therapy?  Visit UVM during finals week.  You will NOT be disappointed.  Also, since there's such a plethora of used clothing, it's the perfect time to get crafty.  With all that time I spent not studying, I figured out how to make scarves out of old t-shirts!  Woop-de-wooooop!

 I hope your finals week-finds are as great as mine.  If anyone finds anything especially fantastic, snap a picture with yo' smilin' self and gimme a holler!  Happy hunting!
