Amazon Student Prime *insert heart eye emoji here*.
For $50 a year, college students can subscribe to Amazon Prime. You get free two day shipping, free movies, free books, early bird deals, and oh, so much more. For those of you who have become member of this cult, repeat after me…
I’m (insert name here), and I am an Amazon Prime addict.
Confession 1: “I’ll just start with the six-month free trial; I’ll cancel it after that.”
That’s how it all begins. The fabulous six-month of FREE Student Prime. Ugh, it's amazing. Just because you are a student, you get six months of free two-day shipping on Prime items. This is where the addiction starts for all of us.
Confession 2: If I don't have something, I immediately check Amazon for it. If it’s on prime, it's in my cart.
Don’t have the movie "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" on DVD? Amazon Prime does! And now I will own it in 48 hours, thank you Prime. Need a pair of Red Wedges for a Wedding you have coming up this weekend, but just do NOT want to go to the store to try them on and buy them? Amazon Prime is your go-to shoe store this week, with endless options. Hello, $19.97 4 in Wedges with comfort fit bottoms! *insert salsa dancing emoji girl here (because that is now me)*
Confession 3: The amount of things I have bought because I simply “couldn’t pass up a great deal like that” is ungodly.
Bored at work or sitting in your psychology lecture? Just scroll through the daily prime deals! “How could you NOT buy Edison Bulb Outdoor Lights 13ft long for the LOW LOW price of only $11.27?!? That’s basically a steal...with free shipping.”
Confession 4: You price check using Amazon only.
Person: “I really want to get a Ping Pong table...but I have no idea how much they cost.”
You: “Hold on a second, I got you.”
Also you: “Amazon Prime has one for $196.99 or $142.99, both with free shipping. It’ll be here by Tuesday, want me to go ahead and order it for you? What address do you want it shipped to?”
Confession 5: You literally love getting mail.
A light up cord phone charger is only $3.67, with free shipping because of Prime? Oh, hell yes I’ll have that.
*Already has four chargers, just wants to get mail to feel important because only getting bills in the mail is sad.*
Confession 6: You order more than one, to try both out to return one eventually.
With free returns, why would you not buy two pairs of Women’s Hurricane Rain Boots in size 7 and 8, just to be sure you get the right size before the price goes up! Just return that size 7 after you realize it was too small…just print off the label, tape it to the box and done!
Confession 7: I don’t buy my books until the first week of class to see if I even need them. With Prime, I’ll still get them before my Thursday class assignment is due this week!
Amazon lets you buy or rent, new, used, or digital textbooks. With the fabulous prices Amazon always has, and the perk of having Student Prime, you can wait until you absolutely need that Calculus 1 textbook to do the homework due next class period!
Confession 8: Netflix and Chill? No, thanks…I only Amazon Prime and Commitment.
I’m used to getting what I want (in two days or less), so you’re going to have to be OK with that. We don’t watch those 1-star-rating movies on Netflix, we’ll watch the popular movies that were recently released on Prime…like "Interstellar" and "Deadpool" (HELLO, Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Reynolds, *wink face emoji x5*).
If you haven’t already joined the dark side, I highly encourage you to! I promise, there will be no regrets with this! Amazon Prime is the real bae, guys.
