If You Aren't Using Your Groupon Account For These 5 Things, You're Missing Out

Never spend $50 on Sunday brunch again.

If You Aren't Using Your Groupon Account For These 5 Things, You're Missing Out

Being a college student means being in a perpetual state of being broke. However, making a Groupon account takes five seconds and you can save so much money without having to go out of your way to find coupons.

1. Nails

Having your nails done makes you feel like your life is truly together. However, it’s expensive to maintain and you can spend that extra money on better things. With Groupon though, you can find gel manicures and regular manicures for under $20 at well-known salons who are looking to boost their clientele list. Recently, I was able to get a $25 gel manicure for $13 dollars and the results were great.

2. Exciting outdoor activities

If you want to branch out from the party scene at your school and go on a new adventure, look no further. With deals on everything from paddleboard lessons, to kayaking, to plane rides, Groupon has you covered. Some of their best deals I have found have been $20 glow-in-the-dark paddleboard trips, $30 parasailing, and $20 bi-plane rides.

3. Food, food, and more food

Just search for whatever type of restaurant you want to go to and you’ll find a Groupon for it. From rooftop bars to pizza places to cafes, you’ll find something good to eat for cheap. Don’t ever break the bank at brunch again!

4. Festivals

No, not the big festivals like Coachella, but you’ll find discounted prices on many smaller ones in your area. Recently I purchased an $8 Groupon for a seafood festival that was originally $30. Not bad for all you can eat seafood.

5. Fitness classes

Instead of dropping fifty dollars a month at a gym you don’t go to, browse Groupon for cheap classes in your area that will actually be worth your time. You can find everything from yoga, to spin classes, to barre workouts. You’ll spend less and will feel good in the process.

Also, Groupon offers a student discount on all of its deals so you can save even more money. Now, log in and get shopping!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
