The Chronic Consumer

My younger cousin just got word that he was accepted to one of the colleges he applied to! He’s pretty excited about it too, because his grades haven’t always been stellar throughout his high school career. He was actually thinking about going to one of the local technical schools for a couple of semesters to take some useful classes and boost his GPA if he didn’t get into a 4-year school right off the bat, but I guess that backup plan won’t be necessary now.

Anyway, I want to get him a small gift for getting into college. I wish I had enough to buy him a laptop, but that’s clearly not in the budget right now. I’m thinking more along the lines of a hoody or jacket from his new school (once I know for sure that he has sent in his acceptance letter). Freshman can never have too much apparel in their school colors and logo, right?

I’m so excited for him!
