8. Pay Off Your Credit Card Debt
This may not be the most fun, but studies show more than 50% of college students are in credit card debt. Pay off the whole balance or knock out a huge chunk of the outstanding balance. When the bill comes next month, you'll be glad you did it.


7. Pay the Interest On Student Loans
Again, not exciting, but most college students have loans with mounting interest. A good way to get cracking on payments is with your handy dandy stimulus check. 


6. Summer Concerts
The semester is almost over and you just want to let loose, nothing is better than watching your favorite bands live!   Coming Soon?
Bonnaroo- Starting Jun 12th
Vans Warped Tour- Starting Jun 20th


5. Vegas
Gamble, drink, party, and watch half-naked showgirls prancing around to corny tunes. Stimulus check well spent!


4. Makeover/Update Your Wardrobe
Your Teva sandals smell like assorted smoked meats, your t-shirts have holes and indelible stains; basically, you need to purchase some clothing. This may not be the case for all students, but everyone likes to update their closets. 


3. Mother's Day Weekend
Doesn't Mom deserve some credit. Instead of giving her a handmade card this year, get her some tulips and her favorite fragrance. The stimulus check allows you to go home for the weekend with more in your hands than dirty laundry. 


2. The Deserved Vacation
You've been working hard all semester. Give yourself a treat, reserve the airplane tickets, or organize the road trip, and get away from the insanity that is the academic calendar. 


1. Puchasing A MacBook Air
It doesn't have a CD drive, it costs way too much, and we all had "New Soul," by Yael Naim, from the commercial in our heads. The whole stimulus check won't cover the cost, but you'll be satisfied with buying into the iUniverse.
