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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
