Amazon’s Awesome Advantages for College Students

By Mackenzi Butson

Amazon is the powerhouse to the college student’s cell!

Okay, well, maybe my science is flawed (sorry… mitochondria), but Amazon does offer life-changing access to textbooks, food, videos, music, Twitch and fast delivery on shipments; I’m talking about Amazon Prime and Amazon Pantry.

Amazon Prime offers free fast shipping on your purchases of TV shows and music streaming and so much more! I know it seems like I’m blatantly promoting, but I promise you Amazon is worth a shot.

Ever had a professor give you your reading list and expect the books to be ordered and read from the next class period? Never fear! Amazon Prime is here! This feature even has expedited shipping on textbooks! It’s saved my grade a few times, honestly. The super quick shipping process allows your package to arrive at the front door, before you forget you even ordered it! Crazy, right?

So, if you are in dire need of a plush corgi throw blanket to home-ify your dorm, you can order it off Amazon on Monday and it will arrive Wednesday! It’s a great life hack if your dorm doesn’t allow pets. Plus, who doesn’t love corgis? They’re adorable!

Amazon Pantry is another fantastic feature for college students because you can buy groceries without leaving your Netflix sesh! You’re sold, right? Me too. 

Combined with Amazon Prime, Amazon Pantry offers food (mostly non-perishables), drinks, household supplies and wellness care products shipped promptly (and with Prime exclusive coupons). All you need to do is select what you want from the Pantry and place it in a digital box. You can buy as many things as you want and strategically place them in the box to maximize space. Be sure you utilize your Tetris skills here!

Amazon Pantry is a phenomenal feature for college students because it’s hard to find time to grocery shop in between classes, homework and extracurriculars. Make mom proud and buy yourself groceries!
