If you are a college kid, you most definitely have Venmo. It's 2017, does anyone even carry cash anymore? No. That’s why Venmo is the best. You know you have definitely used Venmo to pay your friends for these seven things.

1. Uber.

On a big campus, we millennials are very lazy. Do you really want to walk ALL the way across town to go to that party? Uh no. Order an Uber with your friends and then just Venmo whoever did the ordering.

2. Alcohol.

Majority of college students are under twenty-one and until they reach their junior year, can't purchase alcohol. Venmo can easily be used to pay your older friends for alcohol. Even if you are twenty-one, you might not always bring cash with you to the bar. Why not just ask your bestie to pay for you and Venmo them later?

3. Food.

Oh no, went out to lunch with your friends and forgot your cash? Or the place you went to won’t let you get separate checks? Have no fear! Venmo is here!

4. Coffee.

If you are in college, you NEED coffee. Coffee is one of the biggest necessities for a college kid crammed with all kinds of work. If your friend is kind enough to grab you a coffee on their way over for a study session, then it is only right to Venmo them back. Maybe even add a little tip since they were so considerate.

5. Bills.

If you live off campus in a house or apartment, you have bills. Typically one roommate will charge everyone else in the house to pay for their share. You definitely do not want to be that bad roommate that does not pay their share, so open up that app and start paying.

6. Fantasy sports.

College kids like to have fun. College kids like sports. College kids are on fantasy sports teams. Since you have to pay your dues for fantasy, Venmo saves you the hassle.

7. Fundraisers.

When people have fundraisers on campus, it is hard to buy the cookies, buy the shirt, and buy the wristbands. Especially, if you have no cash on you. Venmo is easier to show your pride.

Venmo makes life easy. Venmo is definitely the 21st-century, college kid, go to. Without Venmo, we would always have to be stopping at an ATM or forgetting to pay things when we should. Venmo eliminates the struggle of going anywhere and saves time.

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.
