Newest Obsession: Slickdeals
I must admit that 50% of the time that I am on the internet, I am either on Slickdeals or Reddit. These two websites have one thing in common: an amazing community of users. Slickdeals is a site for people who love a good deal. Users post deals they find across various retailers when they come across good coupon codes, hot deals, and private sales. Some categories include apparel, shoes, computer, and home. Enjoy and you don't have to thank me!

Student Savvyness Series #1: Always Look out for Discounts! Part 1 (REPOST)
One of the things that many college students always forget or don't even realize are the discounts available for students. It's so easy- all you need is your student ID card for many of these. Here are just a few (and examples from my school) :
- Movie theaters have student prices, usually before the evening hours (always just $1 or $2 off, something is something ya know!) Also, think about joining rewards program like Regal Crown Club or AMC Stubs.
- Cellphone plan monthly discounts- my school has partnerships with AT&T and Verizon for students and staff to get a discount of about 15% each month! Ask around your campus.
- Technology discounts- check out your school's technology store for discounts on laptops, desktops, ipads, etc. My school has a partnership with Apple and Dell, and they offer pretty great deals. Look into these options.
- Free/Cheap Events- check your university page or your university blog for free tickets to events on campus or in your area.
- Coupons/Discounts at local businesses- Check out AroundCampus for deals around your campus. They currently have around 200 campuses that they work with.
- Remember, to always ask any business or retail store if they have any student discounts. You never know until you ask.
*** I will be posting up a list of specific stores and businesses that offer student discounts (J. Crew, Sams Club, Amtrak, etc.) Stay Tuned! ***

Recently Discovered Screening Website
Apart from my favorite: Advance Screenings, I just discovered Get Screening. This website is not as simple to navigate as Advance Screenings, but I've noticed that I will get e-mail notifications from this website before other sites, making it easier to snag a pair of tickets. You can look up screenings through the city or movie listing. Remember, tickets are first come, first served and you should always arrive to a screening 1-2 hours early to get the best seats.
I love free movie screenings. Due to work, I can't make it to all the available screenings in my area but since the end of the Spring semester 'til now I've seen a total of 11 screenings!
Check it out here and let me know about other screening sites you know about!
