If you're in college, you have probably used or heard of Venmo.

If you haven't, here is your chance to learn all that you need to know about the best invention ever. Venmo is a way to pay your friends through a simple app. There isn't a charge for the transaction, there is a quick turn around when it comes to the money going into your account, and it takes 2 seconds to send your friend some money for the Uber you just split.

These 5 things are the essential reasons why Venmo is the best invention for every college student.

1. Splitting the check has never been easier.

When the waiter asks if your together or separate, you will never have to stutter about it again. Simply take one check, send a Venmo request for their meal and move on. It has never been easier.

2. Paying bills is easy as pie.

My roommates and I have tons of bills. Instead of trying to get cash or checks, I send a Venmo request for the amount and they send it over. I transfer it to my account and pay the bill in seconds. Easy as pie!

3. Paying dues for an organization is quick and easy.

How many college students carry cash or checkbooks with them? Slim to none. Being able to pay your dues for your organizations through an app?! So quick. So easy.

4. Sharing the Uber is easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

It's annoying to pick a person to pay for the Uber. With Venmo, your friends and you can share Ubers without the stress of taking turns. Send that request and move on! Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

5. What's easier than sending gas money without a fee?

Nothing. Going on a trip and can't decide who is going to drive? Make it easy by sending a Venmo request for gas money. Your friend's don't have to pay the petty fee from the ATM or give you an IOU for the next trip. Honestly, what's easier?


I kid you not, this is the best app for college students. It makes your life so much easier and every 18-23 year old needs to get it as soon as possible. I promise there is no better way to share money with your friends! Try it out!

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
