Once you've thrown your graduation cap in the air, it's time to face the real world. Although you're not in school anymore, you could?still probably stand to keep your living costs as low as a student's. Here are some ways you can live a frugal student's lifestyle:
一旦你將學(xué)士帽丟向空中的時(shí)候，就到了面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的時(shí)候了。雖然你不再住校了，你還是有可能把自己的生活費(fèi)維持在學(xué)生水平。以下是一些維持節(jié)儉的學(xué)生生活水平的好方法 。

Use student discounts: You still have some time before the date on your student ID is expired, so make use of student discounts while?you can.
使用學(xué)生折扣：在學(xué)生證過(guò)期之前，你還是可以用的，所以能用則用。

Find roommates: Room with other people to keep living costs down, just like you did in college. But pick carefully — you don't want?to end up with a nightmare rooming situation. Do background checks if it's a stranger from Craigslist, or try to stick to people you?know.
找室友：和別人合租房屋，減少生活成本，就跟大學(xué)里一樣。但是挑室友的時(shí)候眼睛要擦擦亮——不要給自己找個(gè)噩夢(mèng)般的室友。對(duì)于網(wǎng)站上的陌生人要做好背景調(diào)查，或者直接找認(rèn)識(shí)的人合租。

Make use of the library: It's time to transition from the school library to a local public library! Keep on getting your books for?free by patronizing your local library.
利用好圖書(shū)館：是時(shí)候該從校圖書(shū)館轉(zhuǎn)戰(zhàn)到當(dāng)?shù)毓脠D書(shū)館了！上當(dāng)?shù)貓D書(shū)館，免費(fèi)借閱書(shū)籍。

Go for used options: When you were a student, you'd willingly taken on a graduating student's furniture and other knickknacks. There are also plenty of great used finds on Craigslist that are in mint condition, so be sure to keep an eye out?for what you want.
逛二手市場(chǎng)：當(dāng)你還是學(xué)生的時(shí)候，你應(yīng)該很樂(lè)意去買(mǎi)那些畢業(yè)生甩賣(mài)的家居和小玩意兒。在一些網(wǎng)站上也有二手貨的版塊，比如克雷格網(wǎng)站上就有大量需要甩賣(mài)的二手貨，有的還是蠻新的。所以擦亮眼睛，搜索你需要的東西吧。

Create your own meal plan: Now that you don't belong to your school's meal plan, you need to learn how to budget for your meals and?make your own grub. You can refer to the cookbook for college students for simple, quick, and budget-friendly recipe.
有自己的飲食計(jì)劃：由于你已經(jīng)離開(kāi)學(xué)校食堂了，所以你要學(xué)著預(yù)算飯錢(qián)，自己想好吃什么。你可以參考大學(xué)生的食譜，寫(xiě)出簡(jiǎn)單快速、經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)惠的菜譜。?
