Oh yes, I said it. Was the word "save" what made you so excited right there or was it the thought of the money you will still have in your pocket after taking advantage of being a college student?

1. Apple Music

Hello? $4.99 per month instead of $9.99 per month is actually a huge difference. I'd much rather pay $5 than $10 for unlimited music; $10 just seems like too much, but $5 is just right!

2. Tattoo and piercing coupons

$20 for a basic piercing? GREAT - it's time for you to literally shine and express yourself however you want. Take advantage of those coupon books laying all around campus, you will stumble upon several parlors that give you extremely generous deals.

One might say, "why would I use a coupon on a tattoo? Wouldn't that just encourage the tattoo artist to do a bad job?" Well let me tell you, I saved 50 bucks on a $200 tattoo, and Mike from Kaleidoscope did an amazingly perfect job. Tattoo artists aren't there for just the money, they want to contribute to the wonderful person you are by letting you express yourself with no judgment. It does not matter what the piece is or where you are putting it on your body.

Don't forget to tip your artist!

3. Beauty Salons

Within those handy coupon books, you will find a handful of beauty salons that give you HALF off most of their services. I don't know about you, but I love getting my nails done. Take my word for it, you will find $8 chances to get a full set of acrylics; therefore, that extra 20 bux you saved remains in your wallet!

4. PIZZA

College students thrive on pizza deals. What a coincidence that there is a Dominos right next to campus! Are you more eager now to find one of these golden coupon books?

5. Gas Prices

This isn't a direct coupon, but us college students need to save money on gas! Visit www.missourigasprices.com to find the cheapest gas prices around town!

6. Movies!

There are several movie theaters around Springfield, all of which provide generous deals on movie tickets. You don't even have to be a student to receive these prices!

7. Amazon Prime

Personally, I love Amazon Prime; anything and everything is sold on Amazon. In the dorms, I used it all the time because I wanted to avoid driving. 2-day shipping is golden, and you can receive a 6-month FREE trial if you sign up with your student .edu email.

8. Spotify

I prefer Apple Music rather than Spotify, but I definitely respect all of you Spotify users! I can see why people love Spotify; students will love it, even more, when they realize you can get Spotify Premium for $4.99 per month! Yes, that is 50% off!

Missouri State University loves their students and wants them to succeed when it comes to managing their time between fun and school work. MO state wants everyone to be safe, especially when spending their money! Here is a website provided by MSU to show more opportunities to save money around town: https://www.missouristate.edu/FinancialAid/RealLIFE/student-savings.htm

Be safe, have fun, and avoid being a broke college student!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
