I sold my motorcycle (and snowblower, lawnmower, tools, welding stuff, etc etc) moved out of the 3br house I was renting and into a 300sq ft apartment. The cash helped with some IRS nonsense that's finally behind me, but also I'm saving a lot more every month now without the additional rent, vehicle, & ins. payments. My first ever passport just arrived in the mail today.
Awesome. I've been getting into minimizing my life also. Your situation reminds me of this new reality TV show that's out now called Life or Debt. The wife and I just started watching it on Hulu. It's reality TV so take the situations with a grain of salt, but there is some good practical advice he gives.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
