Let’s be real: college is expensive. If you’re a student, there’s a good chance you really don’t have extra money to spend if you don’t absolutely need to. But you know what you do have? A student ID that could, in retrospect, save you lots of money. It’s not a bad idea to ask restaurants, retailers, and basically anywhere you spend money if they have any sort of student discount-after all, they’re only trying to help you out.
