10 places to eat at that offer college students discount

Image
Hey guys, welcome back! I think one of the first things that pop up into someone's head when the terms "college student" is mentioned, would be BROKE . We are constantly associated with being broke and as sad as it is to admit it out loud, it's true, most college students are in fact broke. The problem is that college food has to be one of the worst things out there, so we result in going out and buying food. And because we're always broke, we have to eat on a budget and let's be real for one minute, ramen noodles can only feed us for so long. Because most of us are all tired of ramen noodles and college food, I decided to put together some places that happen to offer student discounts! 1. Dunkin' Donuts Dunkin' Donuts offers 10% off for college students. So, next time you're there make sure to flash them your student ID. Also, how convenient is it that there is one located right down the hill form Stevenson University. Makes those long nights

Top Ten Small Company Athletic Apparel Brands

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

Top CSGO Teams of all Time (2012-2015) 10.   Na' Vi 2013- 2015 Roster: GuardiaN Edward seized Zeus starix Major Championship Wins- 0 International Titles Win- 2 International Finals appearance- 7 International Top 5 teams- 9 (consecutively) International Top 10- 12 (consecutively) Summary  From Guardians breath taking AWP skills to veteran players such as seized, the '13-'15 teams were certainly one of the best teams, always causing upsets against the best teams CSGO has ever seen. Unfortunately for Na Vi this era was also home to many other teams on this list, forcing them to take a seat at #10 9.   NIP 2014- 2015 Roster: GeT_RiGhT f0rest Maikelele Xizt friberg Major Championship Wins- 0 International Titles Win- 1 International Finals appearance- 3 International Top 5 teams- 3 (consecutively) International Top 10-  4 (consecutively) Summary  While this team didn't really last long enough to rack up many wins, this NIP team had some

10 binge worthy shows to watch on Netflix as a college student

Image
Hey guys, welcome back! Last week was Stevenson's spring break, which means that I had a full week to binge watch shows on Netflix. So, I figured that I would share with you my top 10 shows to binge watch at any time. 1. The Haunting Of Hill House  If you're into dark and mysterious shows, then I highly recommend giving this show a watch. Just take cautious because this show has its frightening moments. 5 young siblings grew up in a seemingly haunted house, which ended up leaving a lasting effect on the whole family. Now as grown-ups, they are forced back together due to a tragic event. Together, they are forced to relive their past hauntings and to deal with the lasting effect that the Hill House left on them. 2. Mindhunter If you're into murder investigations like I am then you'll really enjoy this show. Rather than focusing on the grotesque violence, this show takes a look at the psychological side of murderers. Agent Holden Ford and his partner Bill Tench,

Top Ten Authors to Read if You loved Milk and Honey

Image
After reading Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, I have absolutely fallen in love with reading books of poetry. At first I paid for Kindle Unlimited but decided to pick up Milk and Honey at Barnes and Noble to give to my mom for Christmas. I ended up grabbing Pillow Thoughts II while I was there which sparked my love for having a real physical copy of each book. If you have never heard of these authors, I would 100000000% recommend you check out their instagrams which is where I found most of them. Instagram profiles of each author should give a good indication of their writing style and content so you can decide if you think these books would be enjoyable.   Courtney Peppernell  Pillow Thoughts Pillow Thoughts II Pillow Thoughts III The Road Between Rupi Kaur Milk and Honey (obviously!)

Tips for visiting the Arnold Sports Festival!

The Arnold Fitness EXPO has over 1000 vendors of the latest sports apparel, equipment, and nutrition companies. It also features two stages that hold events throughout the three-day festival. I visited the 2019 Expo which was held March 1-3, 2019. While the event is an incredible experience, it can be a bit overwhelming. People come in the hundreds of thousands from all over to the Greater Columbus Convention Center for the nation's largest health and fitness expo. Here are my top tips for a successful trip to The Arnold: 1. Go to Arnold on Friday! We visited the EXPO for a few hours on Friday and all day Saturday. Everything I had read told me that Saturday was the busiest day but WOW. Nothing could have prepared me for just how busy Saturday was. It was hard to even navigate our way to the next place we wanted to go simply because the isles were so crowded with people walking and lines. I would highly recommend going on Friday if at all possible. You will be able to accom

10 stages a college student goes through every semester

Image
Hey guys, welcome back! Since spring break is in 2 weeks (FINALLY!), I decided to share with you guys some stages we all go through as college students. 1. Motivated/ Determination So, you're about to start a new semester and you are completely determined that you're going to get all those A's that you want and raise that GPA. You're so sure of yourself and all you know is that you're ready to finish this semester with a bang. That determination and motivation are the only two things you need to get through a semester, so make sure you don't lose them. 2. Am I going to have to drop this class? You've officially finished your first week of the semester and you're thinking to yourself, "do I really need to drop this class? is this really what I signed up for? do I actually think I'm going to be able to wake up at 8 am, twice a week?" These factors are all going to be important things to think about and to take into consideration befor
