As a college student, I don’t think I’ve been this perpetually poor since I bought my Game Boy Advanced 10 years ago. And after a summer of living on my own, no dining hall included, my wallet really felt the burn—a stinging, 3rd degree, need-medical-attention-now burn. It was time to get real, and instead of begging my mom for account transfers every other day, I instead looked to see where I could save money. Here are 10 of the most useful student discounts this side of the mountain of college debt:

1) Amazon Prime Student

There are no ends to Prime’s glory. You want toilet paper in

two days? You got it. You want to watch Sex and The City until the sunrise? You got it. For $50 rather than $100, you can reap all the benefits Amazon has to offer.

2) UNiDays


Sign up for UNiDays and you enter a world of hundreds of discounts—Apple, ASOS, Missguided, Express and so on—the sign up is free, and so are the smiles when you see all the money that can go toward Arbor Mist rather than a new interview outfit.

3) Sam's Club Student Discount

Go in with a few friends, and get more Tide Pods than you’ll ever need. Also, if you don’t feel like making the plunge yet know your parents have a card, you can use theirs temporarily (for free) while in store.

4) Adobe

Act now and you can get it for $15.99 (s/o to Black Friday) or wait and get it for $19.99. Either way, you are saving stacks on stacks from the regular price of $39.99.


5) Madewell

When buying a scarf can cost you $50 dollars, a 15% discount can mean the difference between a ridiculous and somewhat-justified purchase.


6) Kate Spade

Another 15%, another dollar. Go ahead get the phone case AND the planner.

7) Spotify Premium

Half price for one of the greatest luxuries there ever was—to skip through as many songs as you want without having to listen to ad for Strayer University.

8) Hulu

Although they technically don’t have a discount, you can have a month trial and suspend billing for up to three months—not too bad when your bank is sending you insufficient fund texts.

9) Chipotle

Get a free drink with your student ID, so at least you don’t have feel bad when you fill up a water cup with lemonade.

10) The New Yorker

Educate yourself and look worldly by paying six dollars for 12 weeks’ worth of the best writing and cartoons known to man.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
