Oh Amazon Prime, how I love you. Through the past months of college, I haven’t found anyone as reliable and forgiving as you - not even myself. If it weren’t for you, who knows where I would be?

Let’s begin at the beginning of the semester, when I received a textbook list for my classes that totaled to an amount nearing the cost of my tuition. My university’s bookstore was of no help: I spent almost two hours in line only to discover that even by renting my books, my bank account would still be far below the poverty line. To my delight, however, I was directed to you: where I found all of my textbooks and spared enough money to order myself cookies every weekend for the entire year to come.

I will never forget the time when I had the opportunity to receive extra credit in my entomology class if I came to lecture dressed as a bug. In a panic I searched all through the Internet in hopes of finding a pair of butterfly wings that would come in time for my Friday class without completely annihilating my bank account. I thought this feat was nearly impossible, but alas, you directed me to a perfect pair of blue butterfly wings that arrived precisely on time and scored me 10 extra credit points.

On one occurrence, I lost my computer charger after a rough week spent almost exclusively at the library. I delved through every drawer, dresser and crevice in my dorm room, only to curl into a ball on my floor in desperation over the thought that my laptop would die indefinitely. However, I was able to order myself an alternative through your app on my phone that arrived in two days and ultimately saved my life. A week after that (yesterday) I again lost said computer charger but not to worry, my new replacement is already on its way and will arrive tomorrow.

Let’s not forget the infinite amount of television shows and movies I have access to through you. If it were not for Amazon Prime, I would have no other way of watching Sex & The City for 13 hours straight on a Sunday, or watch the SpongeBob Movie in the place of studying.

So, Amazon Prime, I thank you. I thank you for being consistent, reliable and forgiving towards me during the time that is the most contrasting in my life. Through the classes, the crying and the dorm living you never cease to amaze me.
