Problem: Article: Point blank, living at home can easily save you more than $10,000 in your college career. And don't forget the money you'll save on food, too. Living in the dorms is expensive, it can lead to worse grades, and it throws you into a new environment that sometimes leads to quitting. If you stay at home, the transition will be easier and easier on the stretch of your pocketbook. Let's not forget that this prolongs how long you can depend on your family for. Home-cooked meals, family outings, and a nice house to live in for free? Yes, please. Textbooks are getting ridiculous. $400 for a wad of paper and ink? No thanks. Don't bother getting new ones at the bookstore – buy used textbooks online. They're infinitely cheaper and can get you through the class just as well. You can even rent textbooks now, too. A quick online search will result in plenty of websites that can hook you up with exactly what you need for a fraction of the price. It's not like you need to keep the book anyway. Apart from scholarships and need-based financial aid, there are grants and loans. Here's the details:  You don't have to pay the money back for grants. They are academic, talent, and need-based. The Pell Grant may be one you're familiar with, and that's a federal program. It likely will be indicated on your FAFSA. But you can apply for other specific, private grants, too. Loans do need to be paid back. Your school will include this recommendation on the FAFSA if you qualify. You can also take out private loans if need be, and your parents could take out a Parent Plus Loan, too, if desired. Look at your school's policy when it comes to Advanced Placement Program (APP), the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), and the Provenience Examination Program (PEP).  With these programs, you take an exam in a subject (or two or three or four) and if your score is high enough, you can get college credit. Almost sounds too easy, doesn't it? Every school has a different policy. Talk to your academic adviser about your prospects. Why is this helpful? It could mean graduating at least a semester early, which could save you thousands of dollars. Once you're a student, you may be eligible for work-study, a program where only certain students are up for certain campus jobs. If you do qualify, you'll be notified. You'll then be sent a URL where you can check out all the available jobs and apply. Often the competition is less competitive than for an off-campus job. These are often part-time gigs that understand you're a student first. They'll gladly work around your class schedule and accommodate you as much as possible. If you're lucky, you'll land one where you can study on the job. You'll need to take the ASVAB test, which stands for Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, and it's a test taken to qualify for enlistment. It's generally offered to high school students, but anyone interested in enlisting can take it. Different branches of the Armed Forces require different scores for enlistment GED holders will generally need to score higher than high school diploma holders. From there you can talk to a recruiter and enlist. Why is this pertinent? Soldiers are eligible for up to $4,500 per year in tuition assistance while they serve and the military and numerous online universities offer programs intended to work with your schedule while you serve. What's more, after you leave the military, go to college for free. Under the current GI Bill, 100% of your tuition and fees for a public college and up to $19,198 for private schools will be covered. The bill also gives you an allowance for books and, in some cases, a one-time payment to help you move.
Summary: Live at home. Buy secondhand textbooks online. Apply for grants and loans. CLEP or PEP out of classes. Do work-study. Consider joining the military.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dabbing at the excess can make the removal process a little easier. Take a paper towel and dab at the grease as soon as it gets on your jeans. The carbonation of sparkling water makes it more effective than flat water in removing stains. Get a bottle or can of sparkling water and pour it all over the affected area. Coarse salt acts as an abrasive, which can be useful for stain removal. Sprinkle the salt onto your jeans and use a paper towel to rub the salt over the grease stains. Try using cornstarch or baking soda if you don’t have coarse salt. These may also act as abrasives that can soak up some of the grease. Squirt a little bit of dish soap, laundry soap, or even hand soap onto the grease stains. Continue using a paper towel to rub the stained spots. Wipe off as much of the salt and soap as you can with a fresh paper towel. Then rub at whatever is left of the stain with a Tide-To-Go or Clorox Bleach pen. Hang your jeans on a drying rack for a few hours so that they can dry completely. They may dry faster if you hang them on a clothesline when the sun is out.
Summary:
Soak up as much of the grease as you can with a paper towel. Pour sparkling water onto the grease. Sprinkle coarse salt onto the grease and rub it in. Add some soap and continue rubbing. Use a stain remover pen. Lay your jeans out to dry.
