Step 3:  Show my your DOLLARBIRD account while you are working on your college budget.  I will be checking your work on this DAILY.  Even if you are receiving money from mom and dad, I want you to keep track of as many expenses as you can!  My thinking is you should have about SEVEN per week.  several expenses may come on one day, but start looking for the trends.
