While we're managing the hustle and bustle of college, we're always looking for ways to save money, have fun, or even help us get that 4.0 GPA. Below are 10 websites that'll help college students do just that:

1. StubHub.

StubHub is the number one website to buy and sell tickets for events around campus. If you want to plan a fun night out with your friends, check out everything that’s going on around you and take your pick! Whether you’re looking for a music festival or a sports event, it’s the best place to grab tickets.

2. StudentRate

Studentrate is the ultimate website for discounts. Rather than checking if individual vendors offer student discounts, StudentRate compiles a list of student deals and discounts for you.

3. RateMyProfessors

Don’t get stuck with awful professors. Check to see what other people have to say about your professor before you choose their classes on RateMyProfessors.

4. Prezi

Prezi is a free online presentation software that makes your presentation look super professional—much better than the presentation themes on Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides.

5. Mint

Find out how much you’re really spending on your coffees. Mint tracks your transactions and gives you the breakdown of how you’re spending your money.

6. Huffington Post College

Huffington Post College provides news on all things college, ranging from Greek life to student debt.

7. Google Scholar

Next time you’re writing a research paper check out Google Scholar. It’s the literal Google of scholarly articles.

8. EasyBib

A true Godsend. Type in your source’s information and EasyBib will create the citation for you. EasyBib can format source types that I didn’t even know were an option for research.

9. InternMatch

InternMatch is a free service that allows you to create a profile and apply for internships or entry-level jobs.

10. Keep Me Out

When it is crunch time before your final exam or you just need to get your homework done. Keep Me Out will prevent you from visiting your most frequented sites for however long you determine.

It is always so hard to find the right website to get some help or just to get away from the campus for a while. Hopefully these sites help!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

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.
