The Broke Diaries

People always say Im going to look back on these days and laugh why put it off?. When Angela Nissel found herself struggling financially while in college instead of sulking she decided to entertain herself by creating an online journal that chronicled her day-to-day trials and tribulations. Written with humor and intelligence her Broke Diary quickly found an audience as people wrote to Angela to empathize with console and laugh with her about her experiences and even share their own. The Broke Diaries is the first complete compilation of her experiences written in a voice that is funny unique and dead-on.. On buying ramen noodles: I am sooooooo embarassed. I only have 33 cents. I (please dont laugh) put the money on the counter and quickly attempt to dash out with my Chicken Flavored Salt Noodles. The guy calls me back! I look up instinctively I should have run . . . Why didnt I run???!! He tells me the noodles are 35 cents. I try to apologize sincerely. I thought the sign said 33 cents yesterday so thats all I brought with me. Could he wait while I ran home and get the 2 cents? I show him my student I.D. to let him know I am not a thief. He shakes his head and motions either for me to get the hell out of his store and never come back again or get the money as do come back. I dont know. He said something like Nyeh and swiped his hand in my direction. I cant translate hand motions well.The noodles: tasty!!!
