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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
