Every day, during the school year, I find myself on the edge of a panic attack when I think about all of the things I need to get done. This moment usually hits after I’ve finished scrolling Tumblr or watching Netflix—time spent watching Parks and Rec is not time wasted. As a college student, it’s easy to spend hours scrolling the depths of the Internet while avoiding homework and studying. Here are a few websites specifically for college students and tools to make managing your workload easier.
Let’s face it – when you are a busy college student with only a dorm mini fridge and microwave at your disposal, cooking balanced meals is not a priority. It’s easy to keep skipping meals and snack on junk food all the time. Ordering food and getting it delivered to your dorm is often the best option, especially if you don’t have a car on campus! Sign up for Grubhub and explore all the takeout options in your area! You can even save all your favorite places and your preferred orders, so it’s super quick and convenient to re-order what you like best. Sign up for Grubhub today and save $10 on your first order with the promo code GHSC19.
Stubhub is the number one website to buy and sell tickets to 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.
StudentRate is the ultimate for discounts. Rather than checking if individual vendors offer student discounts, StudentRate compiles a list of student deals and discounts for you.
