1. Costumes

Whether you need a costume for Halloween or an outfit for a date function, Amazon most likely has what you are looking for. So, instead of spending hours searching local stores for your outfit, order your costume on Amazon Prime and have everything delivered in just 48 hours.

2. Pens, Pens, Pens!


Life Hack: Not only does Amazon have a wider variety of pens than any store, but the pens also tend to be cheaper!

3. Food? Yes, Food.


If you ever find yourself craving a specific snack food, but cannot find it on campus or in your local grocery store, Amazon Pantry is the perfect solution. Yes, this is not a joke. You can order snacks online and have them delivered within 48 hours! However, while this system may seem too good to be true, it can also contribute to the freshman 15, so be careful!

4. Replacement Items


Broken charger? Order a new one on Amazon. Sick of your phone case? Order a new one on Amazon. Laptop case? Amazon. Headphones? Amazon. See the trend? Amazon is always the answer.

5. Textbooks...Seriously take this advice!


Whether you are purchasing textbooks at the start of the semester or extra books for a research project, the prices will almost always be lower on Amazon. Whether you want to rent or buy your class materials, save a few bucks by ordering online instead of in your campus bookstore.

6. Items You Never Thought You Would Need


In college, you will find yourself purchasing items you never thought that you would need. So whether it be a fanny pack for long nights out, strands of costume beads, or collectable shot glasses, Amazon is the place for you.

7: Entertainment


Games, games, games! Amazon has everything you need to transform a "boring night in" into a party! So go crazy and order card games, board games, and video games to play with your friends when you just aren't feeling up to going out. These nights, you will find, may actually be some of your most memorable nights at college.

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.
