MSU Real L.I.F.E.

Literacy In Financing your Education

Student Spotlight: Lydia Walters

February 27, 2017 by Tai Thrasher

Our Real L.I.F.E. Student Spotlight for this week is Lydia Walters! Lydia is a Junior at Missouri State studying theater and communications. She is involved in Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity on campus, where she serves as Vice President of Information Systems. Lydia is also the Scene Shop Assistant at Coger Theater, and a stagehand at Juanita K. Hammons Hall. As a college student on a budget, Lydia’s best financial tip is to “buy used.” 

“One major way I have saved money as a college student is by making sure I purchase used textbooks, in place of new ones. Whether I bought them from the campus bookstore, from a friend that had already taken the class, or from an online site, buying used books has saved me hundreds of dollars throughout the years. Buying used and exploring all options may take more time, but it is worth it to not pay full price for textbooks, and it saves me money every time!”
