Top 10 Student discounts to use!

By -

When I say that I’m a broke college student and laugh, its really not funny. Its just sad, honestly. I work part time. I’m a full-time undergraduate student with a minor tacked on while also working part-time towards my masters degree. Im raising a puppy. I’m involved on campus. I workout while trying my best to eat healthy. And I’m trying to maintain a decent social life without completely ghosting my family. So, when you say you’re broke and busy and overwhelmed, I get it. I really really get it. Utilizing these discounts will hopefully lighten the stress of the being broke part of life.

Top student discounts you should be taking advantage of:

1.     Student Beans
If you don’t have this app, I’m not sure what you’re doing with ya life. Kidding, but seriously this app is great. If you read my first post, you can probably tell I’m an avid gym goer so their offer for 10% off of Gymshark is life saving for me. Some other good brands they have discounts on include Hunter, Romwe, Redbubble (this is where I get all my laptop stickers), Puravida, and Juicy Couture.
2.     Adobe
If you’re an art major, or any major that may require use of design or photo editing products, I promise you this student discount will be your biggest money saver. Normally all apps in the Creative Cloud would cost you $39.99 per month, but students (and teachers) only pay $19.99 per month
3.    Unidays
This is another killer app that I personally use all the freakin’ time for the discounts they offer. Again, hooking me up on my fitness apparel with their 10% off Under Armour and 15% off adidas. My biggest reason for loving this app though is 20% off of American Eagle. There are so many other great discounts like GoPro, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kate Spade, etc. I really recommend downloading this app!
4.     Cars
I know most of us are coming to college driving our first cars, which is fine, until it takes a shit on you and you’re stuck looking for a new car. General Motors, Ford and other vehicle brands are here help out students and recent graduates with money off of new cars.
5.     Insurance
Many car insurance companies such as StateFarm, Farmers, Allstate, Nationwide, USAA, Liberty Mutual, & Geico offer student discounts!
6.     Amazon
I’m not sure how I used to survive before I discovered Amazon Prime. Students get their first six months for free, then get half off of their membership!
7.     Music Subscriptions
Apple Music or Spotify??? Honestly, it doesn’t matter because they’re both throwing some fantastic deals our way! Apple Music gives you your first three month free then 50% off your subscription! Spotify Premium has teamed up with Hulu and SHOWTIME to give you all three subscriptions for only $4.99 per month!
8.     Office 365
Ohhhh my, we both know none of us are making it through college without Microsoft Word, Excel, or Powerpoint. We also know that this doesn’t come installed on that MacBook you convinced your parents you NEEEEEEEEEDED for college, but no fear I’m about to hook you up! Microsoft offers Office 365 for free to college students. This means you are able to download Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Yammer, and more for no cost at all. Life = saved. You are welcome.
9.     Best Buy
I love me a nice new tech product but also, I cant afford them without a good ole discount so Best Buy is here to help us out! All you have to do is sign up for Best Buy Student Deals and you’ll be able to view monthly offers. Also, do not forget that Best Buy price matches so you never have to wait to get the best deals. They’ll even match warehouse stores such as Costco as long as you have your membership card with you. I got $60 off of a brand-new apple watch recently by price matching!
10.  Apple
Like I said under #8, we both know we all told our parents that it was basically required that we get a Macbook before college. Apple offers special education pricing on Macs, Macbooks, and iPads! Keep an eye out though, deals are usually better before the school year as they’ll even throw in some free Beats headphones with your purchase. And ya know ya girl only uses beats in the gym!

10 ways to get help if you’re struggling with mental illness

By -
I always post fun stuff. Nothing too serious but this week, I want to get serious. As a freshman in high school, I experienced a school shooting. I was in the room. Then, I was in an unhealthy relationship for a few years following. I came in to college never acknowledging that I was struggling with any mental illness. At all. I didn’t even understand people who would say that they were struggling with anxiety - I just couldn’t grasp the concept. Fast forward to my sophomore year of college. I was going to volunteer to walk dogs at my local humane society. I debated even leaving the house. The thought of going was unbearable and I cried for 10 whole minuted prior to forcing myself to go inside. I ended up realizing that constant worry, over planning, difficulty focusing, on edge feelings, etc were all ways that a generalized social anxiety disorder manifested itself into my life. Anxiety and other mental illnesses show themselves differently in different people, and dealing with it a

I am a huge supporter of small businesses, so when I realized just how many small companies are in the athletic apparel market, I immediately needed to try out a few of them.  I wanted to get some opinions of them from other college students so that you guys didn't just get my point of view. Alphalete “I was a fan of christian Guzman’s before trying his stuff, so of course i wanted to show support. since my first purchase like two years ago, the shirts i bought were always sturdy and breathable. they were also fitted super nicely and ended up accentuating features and muscles exactly where you’d want them to. haha i feel like i advertised them, but yeah i really love their stuff!” -Gio Amador, University Of Maryland “I’m wearing Alphalete right now, it’s beyond comfortable and form fitting. One of my favorite athletic leisure clothing brands. I’ve followed Christian Guzman for years and purchased his first line of clothing before   he rebranded with the Alphalete ti
