Oh yes, I said it. Was the word "save" what made you so excited right there or was it the thought of the money you will still have in your pocket after taking advantage of being a college student?

1. Apple Music

Hello? $4.99 per month instead of $9.99 per month is actually a huge difference. I'd much rather pay $5 than $10 for unlimited music; $10 just seems like too much, but $5 is just right!

2. Tattoo and piercing coupons

$20 for a basic piercing? GREAT - it's time for you to literally shine and express yourself however you want. Take advantage of those coupon books laying all around campus, you will stumble upon several parlors that give you extremely generous deals.

One might say, "why would I use a coupon on a tattoo? Wouldn't that just encourage the tattoo artist to do a bad job?" Well let me tell you, I saved 50 bucks on a $200 tattoo, and Mike from Kaleidoscope did an amazingly perfect job. Tattoo artists aren't there for just the money, they want to contribute to the wonderful person you are by letting you express yourself with no judgment. It does not matter what the piece is or where you are putting it on your body.

Don't forget to tip your artist!

3. Beauty Salons

Within those handy coupon books, you will find a handful of beauty salons that give you HALF off most of their services. I don't know about you, but I love getting my nails done. Take my word for it, you will find $8 chances to get a full set of acrylics; therefore, that extra 20 bux you saved remains in your wallet!

4. PIZZA

College students thrive on pizza deals. What a coincidence that there is a Dominos right next to campus! Are you more eager now to find one of these golden coupon books?

5. Gas Prices

This isn't a direct coupon, but us college students need to save money on gas! Visit www.missourigasprices.com to find the cheapest gas prices around town!

6. Movies!

There are several movie theaters around Springfield, all of which provide generous deals on movie tickets. You don't even have to be a student to receive these prices!

7. Amazon Prime

Personally, I love Amazon Prime; anything and everything is sold on Amazon. In the dorms, I used it all the time because I wanted to avoid driving. 2-day shipping is golden, and you can receive a 6-month FREE trial if you sign up with your student .edu email.

8. Spotify

I prefer Apple Music rather than Spotify, but I definitely respect all of you Spotify users! I can see why people love Spotify; students will love it, even more, when they realize you can get Spotify Premium for $4.99 per month! Yes, that is 50% off!

Missouri State University loves their students and wants them to succeed when it comes to managing their time between fun and school work. MO state wants everyone to be safe, especially when spending their money! Here is a website provided by MSU to show more opportunities to save money around town: https://www.missouristate.edu/FinancialAid/RealLIFE/student-savings.htm

Be safe, have fun, and avoid being a broke college student!

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.
