Amazon Prime--what a beautiful concept. By barely lifting a finger, we are able to have a wide array of items delivered right to our doorstep in 48 hours. Amazon got its start in 1995 as an online bookstore but has since permeated almost every other segment of the market, from household items, digital streaming options, to food (check out Amazon PrimeNow's 2 Hour or Less Grocery Delivery).

Amazon even has a segment of its website called Prime Wardrobe, offering clothing from verified sellers around the world. Because I was all-too-familiar with websites like Wish and PromGirl that offered cute clothes at shockingly low prices that, once received, barely resembled the pictures online, I was skeptical of Amazon's good deals and fast shipping; however, I decided to take a chance on a product, and boy am I glad I did. Now, my closet has quite a few items that I've purchased via Amazon. Here are 10 examples of times I've been proud to sport something from Prime Wardrobe.

1. Yellow Sundress

After casually looking for a scalloped dress for almost two years, I decided on a whim to check out Amazon's selection. Sure enough, this dress was available for $25.99. It came in so many different colors, but I decided on yellow. Now, it's my go-to dress to brighten up any rainy day. Check it out here.

2. Olive Sundress

I spent a weekend in Chicago with some of my sorority sisters, and we stumbled upon the CUTEST olive sundress at a boutique. Unfortunately, the price was a little above my budget and the line to check out was waaay too long. A week passed, and the dress was still on my mind. I couldn't find it on the boutique's website, so I went to Amazon. Sure enough, an almost identical dress was available for $20.99.

3. Red Polka Dot Necktie

Neckties and hair ribbons have been staples this season, so I really wanted to add to my collection. I fell in love with a red polka dot necktie that I found online for $15.00 (not including shipping). Before purchasing, I wanted to see if Amazon had any better deals. Sure enough, an identical necktie was available for $8.99 and was prime eligible. Now, I get so many compliments on it!

4. Pink Bodysuit

Even though you can't see the whole bodysuit in this picture, it did exactly what I needed it to do. I found out that a sorority event was 90's themed, and I wanted a cute turtleneck to wear under my crewneck. I was worried that an actual turtleneck would be too bunchy, and I didn't want to break the bank buying something I'd most likely only wear once. I found this bodysuit for only $16.89, and it fit perfectly!

5. Sherpa vest

Fuzzy vests and quarter-zip jackets have been a major trend the past few years. Because I didn't want to spend $80 on something that may go out of style soon, I looked to see if Amazon had any deals. Sure enough, Old Reliable had this amazing vest for 31.99. This comfy and cozy piece has become part of some of my favorite winter outfits.

6. Red Shoes

Adding pops of colors to otherwise classic black outfits is one of my favorite things to do--and what better way to do that than with a pair of red heels? These babies were only $27.99, are great quality, and I receive so many compliments on them when I wear them!

7. Black Shorts

I waited a little too long to buy distressed black shorts from my go-to store in the mall, so I looked online for other options. After looking at a few e-stores, I couldn't find what I wanted at a reasonable price. Sure enough, Amazon pulled through once again, and I secured these shorts for $20.99.

8. Beston Sandals

I'll admit, my mom secured these sandals off of Amazon after being inspired by one of my friends. She wore these shoes over to my house, so after my mom saw them parked at our front entrance, she opened her Amazon app and ordered us both a pair for $39.99 each. Two days later, my friend, mom, and I all had matching feet.

9. Burgundy Bandeaux

Bandeaus quickly became replaced by bralettes in my favorite stores, so after I lent out my favorite burgundy bandeau just to have it misplaced, I searched far and wide before finding this bandeau. It was $18.90, a little more expensive than I thought it would be, but I wear it all the time. Thank goodness for Amazon.

10. Black Balloon Shorts

I had been wanting a pair of shorts just like these for some time, but I never found myself looking in the right place. Amazon, however, hooked me up with these shorts for $17.99. When I had looked at other stores, shorts similar to these were up to $50.

Over and over again, Prime Wardrobe has proved itself to me. Even if sizing is slightly off, the reviews other customers leave give me confidence in my purchases. Because the prices are so reasonable, the $8 necktie material may not always be as nice as the $15 bandana; however, in my opinion, the reasonable price on trendy items is a far greater benefit than a simple material difference.

I'm glad I took a chance on Prime Wardrobe. Now, I know exactly where to go when I'm on a tight budget, time crunch, or manhunt for certain items.

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?

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. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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.
