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 Slide s.

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!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
