Being a college student can be dwelling on the expenses. It is hard to work and study at the same time, so most college students don't have as much spending money as they would like to have (unless they ask their parents for some spare change.)

There are a few stores that college students love and Five Below is one of them. It is mostly used for younger kids but there is something there for everyone, especially with a good price tag attached. Any college student can attest that going to Five Below is always an adventure. Whether you are just popping in, or have something in particular that you are buying, the store will always make you in a good mood. Below is the top 5 reasons why the store Five Below is great.

1. The price

Five below, everything is $5 and below. Are you seeing that??? Nothing gets better than that, especially with a college budget. A $3 face mask or a $5 fuzzy blanket is something we all need sometimes.

2. The vibe

There is something that always makes someone smile when going into this store. It could be seeing all the kids pick out their favorite toy of the day, or just simply seeing that a candy bar is 68 cents. The store also has a lot of colors going on and the vibe is very wild, which always seems to lift peoples' spirits.

3. The decor supplies

This store carries somethings that seems to surprise people. Some of their decor supplies is nice and nobody would even guess you bought it at Five Below. Some of their canvases look like you just purchased it on Amazon or Bed, Bath & Beyond.

4. It has things you never knew you needed

Stores that carry an array of items always make their customers happy. Five Below has such an array of items, you will find yourself buying a good pair of workout socks you didn't even think you needed.

5. The innocence

Us college kids sometimes miss our childhoods and think back to when life used to be easier. There is something that makes us college kids smile when we see something that reminds us of the good ole' days of our childhood. Seeing unicorn soap or a Star Wars jump rope just brings back memories.

I hope you now see why Five Below is just an all-around great store. Next time you are looking for a store to browse in, I 10/10 recommend Five Below.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
