College students know the struggle of being broke. We eat 25 cent Ramen noodles and drink tap water. We can't afford to do laundry, let alone buy a new outfit. The thought of going out to dinner makes us cringe, even if it is just McDonald's. For the past year my motto has been, "If it isn't free, I can't afford it." Today I'm changing that. Thanks to some awesome places realizing students are broke, we can get some pretty good discounts. Grab your students ID and head out to the following places to score some good deals.

Clothing Stores

They give students 15 percent off with a valid student ID.

Fifteen percent off full-priced items for students and teachers!

Restaurants

2. Chick-Fil-A

Participating restaurants offer a free drink to students. Be sure to check with you local store because not all of them offer this discount.

3. Burger King, Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dairy Queen, Dunkin' Donuts, Firehouse Subs, Subway, Sweet Tomatoes, Taco Bell, and Waffle House

All of the above offer 10 percent off at participating restaurants only. Your local restaurant might not be taking part in this discount.

Others

1. Amazon

Students get SIX months of free prime and can purchase it for half-off. ($50)

2. Art Museums

Most museums have discounted student tickets as well as student months.

3. FedEX

6. RadioShack

8. Sam's Club

9. Phone Companies

Major phone companies offer various discounts to students with a valid ID and an .edu email.

10. Jiffy Lube

With a valid student ID you can get $10 or 10 percent off at Jiffy Lube.

Disclaimer: I personally have only tried about 90 percent of the places on the list. Each store/restaurant is different from location to location. Your local store might not participate in the discount, but it does not hurt to ask.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
