Best Year Ever: Enter To Win A Free Room Makeover

You’ve spent months at home, you’ve run out of things to do at night, you’ve been in the car for hours, and, finally, you make that first turn off the highway onto campus. There is no feeling in the world that can compare to the undeniable sense of joy when you realize you are back on campus.

On the other hand...there’s nothing that can crush that feeling faster than the second realization you have:

I still have to move into my new place.

Or how about once you move in, and you realize that the only furniture you have is a child-sized bed frame and an air mattress your grandma thought “might come in handy”? And you’re stuck trying to patch everything together to look like an actual living space?

What if you didn’t have to move? What if you didn’t have to find and buy furniture? This year, CORT and Odyssey are working together to make that happen for one lucky college student.

Above: "The Entertainment" student package from CORT.

Between now and September 20th, you can enter to win a school year’s worth of furniture for three rooms of your apartment or house by posting a pic of your room with #HelpMeCORT to your public Twitter or Instagram account. Entries will be posted to the Instagram account @HelpMeCORT, “votes” will be cast in the form of likes between 9/21 - 9/27, and the winner will be announced the week of September 28th.

Not familiar with CORT? CORT is a furniture rental company that offers student furniture rental packages, delivery, and setup. They’ll deck out your place, and when you move out, they’ll come take it all away. Making not only move-in and move-out days easy, but your entire year better by giving you convenience and stylish furniture. Upgrade your space and make moving a thing of the past by sharing your space now. See them in action at the University of Texas in Austin:



Only current college students enrolled at UC Berkeley, University of Maryland, University of Michigan, or University of Georgia will be eligible to win. Prize includes a 9 month rental of furniture for 3 rooms, and does not apply to university housing (i.e. campus dorms or campus-furnished apartments). Winner is determined by the entry receiving the most likes when posted to the contest account @HelpMeCORT between September 21, 2015 and September 27, 2015.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
