The Chocolate Milk Hustle

Recently Skidmore gave me a whole lot of Skidcard money because they failed to de-triple me for the second semester. While I appreciate the school giving me a whole bunch of candy on the house, I would rather they just gave me cash so I can buy meaningful things like my Scarface poster or that Nerf gun I bought after being inspired by my Scarface poster. Of course they would never do this, and money on the Skidcard is basically money lost. Not content to let good money rot on my card I was thrilled to find out about the Chocolate milk Hustle. Basically the idea is that you buy a glass container of Chocolate milk for 3.50 at the Spa, and then sell the bottle for 1.50 to the Atrium as part of their recycling program. The key difference is that the 3.50 you pay (assuming you us your Skidcard) is monopoly money from my Skidcard and the 1.50 comes out in bills. So next time your debating which drink to get at 2:00 am in Spa get some chocolate milk and view it as an investment. I have one friend who drank one with every meal and at the end of the semester rolled up to Atrium with a collection which would put some hobos to shame.
