I tried…”backing up” the library’s Rosetta Stone discs (they are only allowing to be checked out THREE days at a time!) but all of my less-than-legal methods have failed me.

How I did it
How I did it: I simply bought it when I moved out. I needed a form of transportation and bought it using student loans. After I dropped it for the first times my parents got so worried that they traded me the '94 Camaro I had in high school for it. In short, I really bought a car for the price of a motorcycle...and a messed up foot. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Just remember to focus on where you are, where you're going and where you've been (in that order). Mess that up and you either get ahead of yourself or stumble on your past. Read how I did it…
