Amazon is a revolutionary company that has truly changed the world. The fact that they sell virtually everything you can possibly think of is truly incredible but so is their "Prime" subscription. Many competitors like Walmart have bashed Amazon Prime by bragging that they provide "free" two-day shipping without a pricey subscription. However, Amazon Prime is SO much more than just free shipping, it is truly a lifestyle that its subscribers embrace for these eight reasons:

1. Free, reliable two-day shipping

The most obvious benefit is the free two-day shipping on thousands of common items sold on Amazon. This is the service on my Prime subscription that I use the most often and it has never failed me. I order something and it arrives at my door two days later. I've even gotten Sunday deliveries for no additional cost. This service really comes in handy when you need something ASAP or when you're in a pinch. When you need a textbook ASAP or some new running shorts for a last-minute charity walk you signed up for, you'll be beyond thankful that you have Amazon Prime. This benefit alone pays for your subscription if you order something on Amazon just once a month.

2. Whole Foods discounts

The newest benefit of being a Prime member is the discounts at Whole Foods. Prime members now save an additional 10% on ALL sale items and get exclusive deals on certain items in the store. I took advantage of this already and saved money on my last Whole Foods purchase with a Prime member deal on some crackers and I saved another couple of dollars on the already discounted sale items I purchased. This is a fantastic new benefit!

3. Free Prime Video

Amazon

Many people do not realize that a Prime membership comes with a free subscription to a Netflix-like streaming service. Thousands and movies and TV shows are on Amazon Prime Video and it is a great resource when Netflix does not have that movie you're looking for.

4. Free Prime Music

Amazon

Also with your Amazon Prime subscription, you can stream over 2 million songs, playlists, and stations for free. This can really help you save money on things like Spotify or Apple Music.

5. Free Prime Photos

Amazon

Why pay for additional iCloud storage when you can store your photos for free under your Prime subscription? Prime Photos gives Prime members free, unlimited photo storage for themselves and up to 5 other people. Finding photos is also easy with their advanced search tools as well.

6. Prime Pantry

Amazon

Prime Pantry is really cool. You can get everyday products delivered right to your door without the annoying trip to the grocery store/Target/Walmart. They carry tons of personal care products, cleaning products, household products, etc. at extremely competitive prices that are usually better than what you're paying in store. Not having to lug heavy laundry detergent and huge bundles of paper towels around on a ninety-degree day is a nice benefit too. There are even digital coupons right on the site that you can apply to your order.

If you are dreading a large shopping trip and want to avoid the crowds, crappy weather, and save some money, then this is a great option. They even have some products a lot of stores do not carry (like a certain kind of K-Cups I can no longer find anywhere else). Now that's convenience.

7. Free Audible Channels

If you enjoy things like Podcasts and audiobooks, then you'll enjoy this benefit of Amazon Prime. Audible provides unlimited listening to original audio series and playlists for many different topics.

8. Prime Day

Amazon

Amazon Prime Day is truly Amazon's version of Black Friday in July. There are some amazing, exclusive deals that will save you a ton of money.

In addition to these great benefits, there are many other little perks that come with being a Prime member. Best of all, if you're a student, you get a deep discount on Amazon Prime which makes it an even greater value! So, what are you waiting for? Sign up for your free trial of Amazon Prime today and fall in love with this service!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
