5 Back To School Shopping Tips Everyone Should Know
zingfy.com

It's almost that time of the year: back to school shopping time! This is an exciting time, but it also can be a stressful with buying books, school supplies, clothes, etc. Here are a few of my tips for making back to school shopping a walk in the park. You'll be an A + shopping student in no time!

Tip 1: Make a list!

Tip 2: Use coupons!

You know those coupons to Bed Bath and Beyond or Target that come in the mail? Use them! You'll be happy you did. Although buying things for your dorm or school is easy to do all at one place, you'll find that you may be able to save some money by splitting up the items you need and shopping at different stores.

P.S. This is not an actual coupon. Sorry!

Tip 3: Don't just shop at one place!

Tip 4: Don't buy too much before you get to school

Tip 5: Tax Free Weekends are fantastic!

If your state holds a Tax Free Weekend, go shopping then! They have great deals! The only downside is trying to find a parking spot because everyone and their brother will be at the stores, too. Also, it's better to get a head start and to be there when stores open, versus later in the day. You don't want to miss out on a great deal!

Alright guys, there you have it! These are my five tips for back to school shopping! I hope you can use these tips, and good luck going back to school!

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.
