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:

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.

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.

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.
