Betty Jin is a rising senior at Dartmouth College. Originally hailing from the high rises of Shanghai, she grew up mainly in the 'burbs of Boston before trekking about 110 miles north to attend the College on the Hill. Majoring in English with a soft spot for Woolf and Wharton, she would like to at some point in her career pursue new media and creative journalism ventures. In the meantime, she enjoys drinking dark coffee with one shot of espresso, watching period dramas and listening to director reels and going on crack-of-dawn jogs around Central Park. She hopes to someday bike the Silk Road, touch the snows of Kilimanjaro before they melt and write about it all in a collection of travel essays.

The Frugal Intern: An Introduction

Posted July 1, 2010 | 11:51:51 (EST)

I love my credit card -- and I'll be the first to admit it. I'm twenty, an intern in New York City, and just as addicted to plastic as any other Millenial college kid seeking to get her fill of the city before she packs up for school in the...
