A new semester is on the horizon, and with it, comes new books to buy. Whether textbooks or just new reading material for the semester, books can get expensive. If you're looking for novels, textbooks, stationary, coloring books, cookbooks or more, you can always find them online. Here are five websites that have discounted prices for books!

1. ThriftBooks

Thriftbooks has both new and used books including textbooks and you get free shipping if you spend at least $10 (inside the US)! If you're making your first order, you can use the code 'SAVEMORE' to get 15% off your first order and they have a rewards program.

2. Book Depository

The Book Depository has both textbooks and regular novels as well, but they have free shipping worldwide! Prices are slightly discounted, and if you happen to order from their site during the BookTubeAThon, you can get even more off of select books, like you can see here.


3. BookOutlet

BookOutlet is probably my favorite place to order books from! They have really nice discounts on stationary, novels, cookbooks and more, but sadly, no textbooks. However, they have large discounts on books, and if you're lucky, they might even have an autographed copy of what you're looking for!


4. Amazon/Amazon Marketplace

Amazon is a great place to buy used books-- especially textbooks!! You can buy or rent, and if you have textbooks you're no longer using, you can sell them back to Amazon for a gift card. Amazon also has special deals for students, so make sure you check out all of your options before checking out! (Hint: You can ever rent e-books.)

5. Half Price Books

Half Price Books has amazing deals on textbooks (and everything else they sell) if they happen to have what you need! Not many people know they have a website that you can order from, so definitely check it out if you can't find what you need! (Hint: They tend to have older editions of classics and such things if you need something older!)


Hopefully you can find what you're looking for on at least one of these websites! Here's to a great semester!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
