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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
