10 Reasons Every College Student Needs An Amazon Prime Account

Amazon has become a part of life especially for college students across the nation. I use it almost every single week to buy at least something, and that is not an exaggeration. For many students just starting college, they tend to still be attached to their parent's account.

I am here to offer you reasons why you should invest in your own account if you do not have one. If you are thinking of getting rid of your account, I will give you some reasons why you should keep it. At the end of the day, I just really support Amazon and its mission. I hope you appreciate the company just as much as I do.

1. Amazon Prime is free for the first six months if you're a student!

That is the perfect way to test something out when you know it will not charge you any money. Take advantage of that deal because free money is the best kind of money.

2. You can rent or buy all your school books for a cheaper price. 

Giphy

Going to Amazon sellers is almost always cheaper than buying the books from your school's store. I recommend searching on Amazon before making any final purchases because you could potentially save yourself a lot of money.

3. Your parents will not be able to provide for you forever. 

Giphy

Sometimes it is time to just grow up and become an adult finally. Part of that process is finally becoming in control of your own money. Take those baby steps by opening your own Prime account.

4. People can send you stuff without you having to pick it up from home. 

Giphy

If a generous family member is buying you something, they can have it delivered directly to your address through your account.

5. They often give out free samples at events.  

Giphy

If you have a physical Amazon location at your campus, you will learn this quickly. They often have tons of free samples to give away such as Redbulls, car fresheners, and tons of other things. Take advantage while you can especially if you are a broke college student.

6. Where else would your paycheck go?

Giphy

I am only being slightly sarcastic here because we all know college students especially struggle financially. Amazon will be a good use of your money because there will always be something more that you want to buy.

7. Get that free two-day delivery deal.

Giphy

Amazon Prime has a fairly quick turnaround rate for delivering packages. If you order something one day, chances are it will be there in just a couple days. This quick speed is ideal especially if you want your package right away. I know I am never patient for other kinds of deliveries.

8. If you have no car, how else are you going to shop?

Giphy

Many college students are dependent on other friends to drive them places especially if they do not have cars or do not want to pay a parking fee. Amazon allows packages to be delivered right to you without having to walk that far. With power like that, shopping has never been easier.

9. It is easy to find exactly what you are looking for. 

Giphy

You can spend hours searching around on Amazon trying to find the right product for you. I like to read all the reviews and compare all the prices before I buy anything. Even if you have no idea what you want in your mind, searching around can help you narrow it down. You will always get whatever it is you think you need.

10. If you do not like something, it is easy to send right back.

Giphy

Amazon Prime has good customer service that will allow you to return any products you are not completely satisfied with. This means that you can guarantee your money back if something is not what you wanted.

If you do not have Amazon Prime, I hope you have learned valuable reasons as to why it would be a good investment. If you do have Amazon Prime already, I hope you continue to shop to your heart's desire.

No matter what your case may be, I hope you find the best place for your money to be spent. For me, that is 100000% Amazon.

Happy shopping!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
