If you are a college kid, you most definitely have Venmo. It's 2017, does anyone even carry cash anymore? No. That’s why Venmo is the best. You know you have definitely used Venmo to pay your friends for these seven things.

1. Uber.

On a big campus, we millennials are very lazy. Do you really want to walk ALL the way across town to go to that party? Uh no. Order an Uber with your friends and then just Venmo whoever did the ordering.

2. Alcohol.

Majority of college students are under twenty-one and until they reach their junior year, can't purchase alcohol. Venmo can easily be used to pay your older friends for alcohol. Even if you are twenty-one, you might not always bring cash with you to the bar. Why not just ask your bestie to pay for you and Venmo them later?

3. Food.

Oh no, went out to lunch with your friends and forgot your cash? Or the place you went to won’t let you get separate checks? Have no fear! Venmo is here!

4. Coffee.

If you are in college, you NEED coffee. Coffee is one of the biggest necessities for a college kid crammed with all kinds of work. If your friend is kind enough to grab you a coffee on their way over for a study session, then it is only right to Venmo them back. Maybe even add a little tip since they were so considerate.

5. Bills.

If you live off campus in a house or apartment, you have bills. Typically one roommate will charge everyone else in the house to pay for their share. You definitely do not want to be that bad roommate that does not pay their share, so open up that app and start paying.

6. Fantasy sports.

College kids like to have fun. College kids like sports. College kids are on fantasy sports teams. Since you have to pay your dues for fantasy, Venmo saves you the hassle.

7. Fundraisers.

When people have fundraisers on campus, it is hard to buy the cookies, buy the shirt, and buy the wristbands. Especially, if you have no cash on you. Venmo is easier to show your pride.

Venmo makes life easy. Venmo is definitely the 21st-century, college kid, go to. Without Venmo, we would always have to be stopping at an ATM or forgetting to pay things when we should. Venmo eliminates the struggle of going anywhere and saves time.

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.
