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.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
