3 Ways To Shop On A Budget, Even If It's The Last Thing You Want To Do

In This Article:

College students will try just about anything and everything to save a buck or two. Online shopping is a way, a good amount of college students, to pass time. We scroll through endless pages of clothing, shoes, and accessories seeing what catches our eye, while we wait for our 8 am class to be over. As your search, for things that you don't need begins, you realize that by the end of the class your cart is completely full and your total is in the hundreds. Whether it be that you love to receive packages, or needed a little retail therapy session, these three money-saving sites can make a big difference.

UNiDAYS

UNiDAYS focuses on brands that give students discounts. They have partnered up with more than 150 brands to make it easier for students to shop. This site is strictly for students and they offer the best discounts. All you have to do is sign up with your school email, verify your email and start shopping. They as well offer services to keep students updated with pop culture, politics etc. Students can take quizzes and become guest bloggers or receive some college advice.

Honey

Honey helps everyone, students or not, save some money. It is a free application one can easily download onto their computer. Honey saves you the hassle of having to look for promo codes. With just a click from a button, it searches for all the promo codes one can use and it applies the one that will save you the most money. Once you have downloaded Honey to one of your browsers, once you're ready to check out all you have to do is press the little "H" button and let Honey do its job.

AfterPay Touch

Personally, Afterpay touch is my favorite. Partnering up with some of your favorite brands, Afterpay allows you to shop all the latest trends without breaking the bank all at once. If a retailer has Afterpay, when you're ready to checkout you can pay your total in full or it will give you the option to do Afterpay. The way it works is that it splits your bill in four. Every two weeks from when you make your purchase you pay a little off your bill. So if your bill it $250 you will make four payments of $62.50, and as long as you pay on time you won't get charged a late fee. And no worries about when you will receive your package because they ship it out as if you would have paid in full.

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.
