While we're managing the hustle and bustle of college, we're always looking for ways to save money, have fun, or even help us get that 4.0 GPA. Below are 10 websites that'll help college students do just that:

1. StubHub.

StubHub is the number one website to buy and sell tickets for events around campus. If you want to plan a fun night out with your friends, check out everything that’s going on around you and take your pick! Whether you’re looking for a music festival or a sports event, it’s the best place to grab tickets.

2. StudentRate

Studentrate is the ultimate website for discounts. Rather than checking if individual vendors offer student discounts, StudentRate compiles a list of student deals and discounts for you.

3. RateMyProfessors

Don’t get stuck with awful professors. Check to see what other people have to say about your professor before you choose their classes on RateMyProfessors.

4. Prezi

Prezi is a free online presentation software that makes your presentation look super professional—much better than the presentation themes on Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides.

5. Mint

Find out how much you’re really spending on your coffees. Mint tracks your transactions and gives you the breakdown of how you’re spending your money.

6. Huffington Post College

Huffington Post College provides news on all things college, ranging from Greek life to student debt.

7. Google Scholar

Next time you’re writing a research paper check out Google Scholar. It’s the literal Google of scholarly articles.

8. EasyBib

A true Godsend. Type in your source’s information and EasyBib will create the citation for you. EasyBib can format source types that I didn’t even know were an option for research.

9. InternMatch

InternMatch is a free service that allows you to create a profile and apply for internships or entry-level jobs.

10. Keep Me Out

When it is crunch time before your final exam or you just need to get your homework done. Keep Me Out will prevent you from visiting your most frequented sites for however long you determine.


It is always so hard to find the right website to get some help or just to get away from the campus for a while. Hopefully these sites help!

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.
