7 Reasons Costco Is Every College Kid's Real Bae

A few weekends ago, my friends and I took a trip to Costco. I had never seen a group of college kids become so excited about something. That's when I realized that Costco is a very special place for college students.

1. It's Like Disneyland

Walking through those doors, and seeing the world of possibility before you, is like entering the gates of the Magic Kingdom for the first time.

2. Buying In Bulk

College kids go through food and anything else extremely quickly. Giving them the chance to buy in mass amounts for cheap prices makes everything all that much better.

3. Free Food

Who doesn't love walking around Costco and sampling the different products they have to offer.

4. The Prices 

We're all broke. Plus, there's nothing better than the feeling of buying a dozen large croissants for $8.

5. People Watching

So, shopping isn't for everyone. Take a seat on some of the comfortable lounge furniture Costco is selling and sit back and watch a show.

6. Wandering 

Getting off of campus for a few hours is already a bonus. Why not walk up and down every aisle and look at every product offered there.

7. The Books


For book lovers, the prices of the novels there will blow your mind. There's nothing like looking at your favorite hardcover book and seeing it marked down to almost half its price.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
