Student Discounts for the Broke College Student

Almost every college student knows what it is like to be broke. But being broke doesn't mean that we won't want to go places and do things. Here are a few student discounts and discount days to help with that.

1. Movie Theaters

Some movie theaters offer $1 or $5 movie days. Movies 10 in Canton, Ohio has $1 movie Wednesdays and Atlas theaters in Mentor, Ohio have $5 movie Mondays. Most movie theaters also offer student tickets when you show a valid student ID.

2. Bowling Alleys

Bowling alleys generally offer different theme days and discount days. Scores bowling alley in Painesville, Ohio offers dollar bowing day on Wednesdays. Go to your local bowling alley and ask about discount days or theme days. Some bowling alleys do midnight bowling where you pay one price for the whole night.

3.Spotify or Apple Music

Both Spotify and Apple Music give students about a 50% discount on premium plans with a valid student email. I personally have Spotify Premium for $4.99 a month and I love it.

4. Amazon

Amazon offers a student account which is $49.99 yearly. When you spend hundreds of dollars on textbooks twice a year shipping can get a little outrageous but with Amazon Student you get free 2-day shipping where applicable.

5. Chipotle

Most Chipotle's offer a free drink when you present a valid student id. I love chipotle and the one near me sometimes does BOGO for college students which is always nice. Also, sign up for texts and emails, they send out offers like the first game of the World Series they sent one "Wear Indians gear and get BOGO".

6. Apple

Apple offers discounts to educators, students, and parent buying on behalf of their students. If you go to this website you can enter your school or zip code and find special discounts for your school.

7. Microsoft Office

Microsoft offers free Office 365 for students at qualifying school. If you go to their website here you can enter your email and get the free download. You can also go here and see all the discounts that they offer for students.

8. Museums

Most museums offer a student discount of some sort. The amount differs based on where you go but it can't hurt to ask. Every discount counts.

9. Flights and travel plans

There are a few different websites that offer some student flights discounts. All you have to do is go on google and search it. You never know what you will find until you try.

10. Tons of other places...

Here are a few more websites that list out student discounts:

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
