3 Ways To Shop On A Budget, Even If It's The Last Thing You Want To Do

College students will try just about anything and everything to save a buck or two. Online shopping is a way, a good amount of college students, to pass time. We scroll through endless pages of clothing, shoes, and accessories seeing what catches our eye, while we wait for our 8 am class to be over. As your search, for things that you don't need begins, you realize that by the end of the class your cart is completely full and your total is in the hundreds. Whether it be that you love to receive packages, or needed a little retail therapy session, these three money-saving sites can make a big difference.

UNiDAYS

UNiDAYS focuses on brands that give students discounts. They have partnered up with more than 150 brands to make it easier for students to shop. This site is strictly for students and they offer the best discounts. All you have to do is sign up with your school email, verify your email and start shopping. They as well offer services to keep students updated with pop culture, politics etc. Students can take quizzes and become guest bloggers or receive some college advice.

Honey

Honey helps everyone, students or not, save some money. It is a free application one can easily download onto their computer. Honey saves you the hassle of having to look for promo codes. With just a click from a button, it searches for all the promo codes one can use and it applies the one that will save you the most money. Once you have downloaded Honey to one of your browsers, once you're ready to check out all you have to do is press the little "H" button and let Honey do its job.

AfterPay Touch

Personally, Afterpay touch is my favorite. Partnering up with some of your favorite brands, Afterpay allows you to shop all the latest trends without breaking the bank all at once. If a retailer has Afterpay, when you're ready to checkout you can pay your total in full or it will give you the option to do Afterpay. The way it works is that it splits your bill in four. Every two weeks from when you make your purchase you pay a little off your bill. So if your bill it $250 you will make four payments of $62.50, and as long as you pay on time you won't get charged a late fee. And no worries about when you will receive your package because they ship it out as if you would have paid in full.

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.
