Going to college in America is expensive and I have some ways for you to save on expenses such as food and fashion so you don't feel guilty spending money on things that make you feel better!

Download food apps, take advantage of their rewards systems.

Name a food chain or convenience store and they most likely have an app on that you can download, make an account for, and collect points and work towards rewards. Food chains such as Chipotle, Starbucks, Dunkin', and countless more have applications. Also, food services such as Grubhub, Postmates, and Ritual offer many discounts to smaller businesses.

Student Discounts.

Always keep your student ID on you and make it a habit to ask for student discounts every time you go shopping, it never hurts to ask! There are also websites such as UNiDays and StudentBeans that give you specific codes to some websites such as H&M and ASOS for a discount.

Check your receipts!

Unless we're making a big purchase or plan on returning something, we often discard our receipts or sometimes we don't even collect them at the register. You're potentially throwing away opportunities to save or earn money! Auntie Anne's gives you a buy one get one free pretzel if you fill out a survey and return with a verification code! Other stores like Walgreen's and TJMaxx have surveys that enter you for a chance to win money! The chances of you winning might be slim, but it doesn't hurt to try!

Use up your punch cards.

Punch cards, most often used in coffee shops, are an incentive to keep customers coming back. Utilize these and punch out your cards to work towards a free coffee or pastry!

Download apps that are made for saving money!

Groupon, RetailMeNot, and Rakuten are just some examples of apps that are specifically designed to help you save money! They exist, so why not use them?

Participate in research.

Make sure to check out your university's bulletin board or other resources for participation in research. Many graduate students seek participants for their dissertation and offer incentives such as gift cards

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
