If you're in college, you have probably used or heard of Venmo.

If you haven't, here is your chance to learn all that you need to know about the best invention ever. Venmo is a way to pay your friends through a simple app. There isn't a charge for the transaction, there is a quick turn around when it comes to the money going into your account, and it takes 2 seconds to send your friend some money for the Uber you just split.

These 5 things are the essential reasons why Venmo is the best invention for every college student.

1. Splitting the check has never been easier.

When the waiter asks if your together or separate, you will never have to stutter about it again. Simply take one check, send a Venmo request for their meal and move on. It has never been easier.

2. Paying bills is easy as pie.

My roommates and I have tons of bills. Instead of trying to get cash or checks, I send a Venmo request for the amount and they send it over. I transfer it to my account and pay the bill in seconds. Easy as pie!

3. Paying dues for an organization is quick and easy.

How many college students carry cash or checkbooks with them? Slim to none. Being able to pay your dues for your organizations through an app?! So quick. So easy.

4. Sharing the Uber is easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

It's annoying to pick a person to pay for the Uber. With Venmo, your friends and you can share Ubers without the stress of taking turns. Send that request and move on! Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

5. What's easier than sending gas money without a fee?

Nothing. Going on a trip and can't decide who is going to drive? Make it easy by sending a Venmo request for gas money. Your friend's don't have to pay the petty fee from the ATM or give you an IOU for the next trip. Honestly, what's easier?


I kid you not, this is the best app for college students. It makes your life so much easier and every 18-23 year old needs to get it as soon as possible. I promise there is no better way to share money with your friends! Try it out!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
