I think I speak for most people who wear binders when I say it's a love/hate relationship between a person and their binder. The ability to bind safely and get a desired look is a relieving experience, but that doesn't mean it's a totally carefree one. Binders can give their fair share of problems at times: from getting stuck on your head, to making it nearly impossible to wear tank tops, and to being just plain painful at times. One of the toughest things about binders is trying to figure out where the hell to get one!




Unfortunately, we aren't yet in the days when you can waltz into your local WalMart and purchase a binder in-store. While there are multiple petitions out there to get such a thing started, currently the only options available for purchasing a binder are online. If you have access to the Internet and a credit card, your journey for the perfect binder may be shorter than you think. Even if you don't have access to these things, don't give up just yet! There are some organizations and individuals that regularly give binders away to those in need. I searched the web and compiled this list of places I found where you can obtain a safe binder. I also included any relevant information on price, shipping, and what is needed. Hopefully, this helps someone out there get the binder of their dreams!

Note: Since I am in the U.S., all information I include on price is in U.S. dollars. You can click here to convert these numbers to your own currency.

Disclaimer: While there are many other companies to purchase a binder from, I only included those that I personally knew or could find proof insisting they are safe to use. This does not mean that all other binder companies are unsafe. Rather, it means that I did not feel comfortable including other companies due to lack of or negative information found.

With that being said, I simply did Internet research to compile this information, and cannot guarantee all research to be 100% correct. I also cannot personally vouch for the quality, safety, or other guarantees of these binders. I am sharing my opinion on any of these companies, organizations, or individuals listed above. I simply did Internet research to compile this information, and cannot guarantee all information to be 100% correct.


I highly encourage you to do your own research and contact the above companies, organizations, or individuals to ensure they can provide what you are looking for. The information above is subject to change at any time.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
