As a college student with projects, papers, and presentations (oh my!) due ALL the time, it's very important that I am able to unwind when I need to.

One of my favorite things to do to de-stress is to drink wine. As college students, we are also on a budget. So how do we find affordable wines that can satisfy our cravings? Lucky for you, there are plenty of options out there. Get out your shopping list, ladies!

Here are 17 wines under $17 we can all enjoy:

1. Foxglove Paso Robles Zinfandel 2013 - $17

This wine is fresh and floral with spicy fruit flavors and is a red wine.


2. Broken Clouds - $14

Snag this one at Aldi! They have a Pinot Noir for you.


3. 19 Crimes - $10

You can find this at Meijer. It's a dry red wine, so for people who like dry wines, this is for you!


4. Bella Bollé Moscato - $9

Peach and Nectarine flavors with a bubbly feel. You can find this one at Walmart!


5. Barefoot Wines - $9

This brand has multiple flavors including Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, and more! I get this one at Meijer a LOT with their two for $10 deals.


6. Chateau Grand Traverse Woods Sweet Red Wine - $9

Find this one at Meijer for a penny under $9!


7. Madria Sangria Moscato - $8.50

This wine has flavors of orange, peach, and apple in it, and can be found at Meijer.


8. Oliver Wine - $8

This comes in Soft Red, Soft Rose, Peach Honey, and Black Cherry at Meijer!


9. St. Julian Winery - $7.50

Just under $8 at their normal price, I will talk about Meijer again because these babies sell two for $11 there! Concord grape, white grape, and cherry wine flavors (and more), this wine is amazing and affordable!


10. Pontificis GSM - $7

You can find this one at Trader Joe's. It is a deep purple wine with dark red fruit and some oaky flavors.


11. Great Lakes Red - $7

Anyone from Michigan should try this wine! Or really, anyone anywhere!


12. Arbor Mist - $7

Okay, so they have smaller bottles for a cheaper price, but the 1.5L bottles cost $6.92. It's literally a bargain.


13. Lambrusco - $6

Okay, this wine is actually $6.12, but that's still cheap! Snag this one at Walmart.


14. Sutter Home - $6 (small bottles), $11 (big bottles)

Sutter Home has multiple flavors like White Zinfandel, Moscato, Sweet Red, and more! I find this one at Meijer, which usually has two for $9 deals on the smaller bottles.

15. Moiselle Pink Moscato - $4

Citrus peach with orange blossoms, this cheap wine has your taste buds going wild.


16. Winking Owl Brand - $3

You can find this one at Aldi, and they sell a variety of flavors, but the best ones are Pink Moscato, White Zinfandel, and Merlot!


17. Oak Leaf - $3

This wine is actually less than $3. Yes, you heard that right! Go grab some at Walmart!

The reality is, there's no part of life the pandemic hasn't affected. Whether it's your work life, your home life, your social life, or your love life, coronavirus (COVID-19) is wreaking havoc on just about everything — not to mention people's health.

When it comes to romance, in particular, people are all handling things differently and there's no "right way" of making it through, regardless of your relationship status (single, taken, married, divorced, you name it). So, some of Swoon's creators sought out to hear from various individuals on how exactly their love lives have been affected since quarantine began.

Feel A Lil' Better: Because Air Travel Looks Different Now

If you have to travel, you can — you just have to take a few extra steps.

Feel A Lil' Better: Because Air Travel Looks Different Now
@delta

No matter how good (or bad) you'd describe your health, one thing is for sure: a little boost is ALWAYS a good idea. Whether that's reading a new, motivating book, or listening to a song that speaks to your soul, there are plenty of resources to help your health thrive on any given day.

As we are learning how to live our lives in the midst of a pandemic, one big question being travel. States that were initially labeled coronavirus (COVID-19) epicenters, like New York and New Jersey, are extra cautious in how freely residents can travel and then come home. Other states may not have the same travel restrictions as the epicenters, but one thing is for sure — no matter where you fly within the United States, that trip will look different than your usual summer vacation. Sure, it can still happen, you just need to take a few more steps to make sure your trip will go smoothly.

11 Sayings ONLY Caribbean People Get — And No, Stopping At The Beaches On A Cruise Doesn't Count

11 Sayings ONLY Caribbean People Get — And No, Stopping At The Beaches On A Cruise Doesn't Count
@thetravelingislandgirl

The Caribbean is a place where people go for vacation, but if you set out from a cruise ship you miss out on all the beautiful culture. Their exotic beaches are nothing without their zinging food and hospitality. Locals in the Caribbean are warmhearted with a zest to live life to the fullest.

This is exactly where most of their words and phrases come from, having a good time. I definitely enjoyed myself living in the Caribbean, but it's not always about lounging. They get work done too and I've learned proper phrases for accomplishments.

7 Reasons You Should Seriously Stop Calling Men 'Simps'

Don't project your shortcomings onto another man.

7 Reasons You Should Seriously Stop Calling Men 'Simps'

According to Urban Dictionary, a "simp" is defined as "a man that puts himself in a subservient/submissive position under women in the hopes of winning them over, without the female bringing anything to the table." There are many other definitions for a "simp," but basically it's shaming men who are kind to women without getting anything in return.

Let's just stop attacking nice men. Work out your own issues, don't project your shortcomings onto another man. What happened to the brotherhood? Y'all can lie for each other, but can't raise each other up? You guys can encourage murder, gang rape, and violence against women — or at least stay silent about it — but can't let your brother know it ain't cool when they bring you down for being nice to women with no expectation?

I've thought about how to write this since my diagnosis. I've thought about what kind of feelings it might bring up from my mom, former friends, and even myself. I've rewritten it a thousand times in my head, but never could quite get the words onto my notepad, but tonight I'm going to sit down and write it.

Self-Love Is The Best Love, That's Just How It Is

Do you ever feel like you can't please everyone? Self-love will do the trick.

Self-Love Is The Best Love, That's Just How It Is
@aerie

I've been feeling a little down lately, with the understanding that friends don't last forever and that I can't always please my parents. Life has been rough for everyone lately and it's not easy to stay happy and optimistic during these times. But I promise you, you are on this earth for a reason. You are here because God formed you, to love, and to be loved.

When things are tough, realize that you have yourself always. No one can take that away from you. You will always be you. No matter who you are, what you believe, or where you've been in life, at the end of the day, you are you. You can love you, therefore giving you one reason to stay here on this Earth.
