Chico State men’s basketball put
on a show on Saturday night in Acker
Gymnasium as they beat the California
State University Los Angeles Golden
Eagles by a score of 89-62. This led the
Wildcats to their ninth straight victory.
Junior Malik Duffy was the leading
scorer for Chico State as he scored 21
points in the game against the Golden
Eagles.
“I came out super aggressive,” Duffy
said, “Last time I wasn’t as aggressive

early and the momentum kept picking
up from there.”
Along with Duffy, Calvin Geraci
was another major scorer in Saturday
night’s win. As stellar teammates and
friends, the camaraderie and teamwork
was evident.
“Malik and I are best friends on and
off the court,” Geraci said, “We’re just
two weirdos. We get along with each
other. That translates to the court well.”

Adulting on a budget: college student edition
Alexis Harvey
Staff Writer
College is already hard enough.
Challenging classes, picking a major,
and basically forcing young adults
to decide what they want to do with
the rest of their lives. This is their
first time on their own and for many
students, their first time paying to
attend school.
There are a select amount of
students that are fortunate enough
to attend college without having to
pay for it while some students aren’t
as lucky. Whatever the situation
might be, most college students are
struggling to budget their money
properly.
Coming to college is such an exciting
experience and most students want
to experience everything possible,
but with the fun comes a cost.
Whether it’s going out to eat with
friends on a daily basis or buying a
concert ticket, most students don’t
realize how much money they’re
spending until it’s gone.
One minute you’re celebrating life
as a brand new adult, and the next
your rent is due and you have $12 in
your bank account. That’s when it
hits you: adulting is a lot harder than
anyone could have anticipated.
Budgeting is something everyone
has to learn. Take these things into
consideration when learning how to
budget as a college student:

PRIORITIZE! This is probably one
of the most important rules when it

have a lot of expenses. Whether it’s
paying for tuition, rent, food, bills, or
other expenses, the average college
student is often struggling to pay for
these basic needs.
