Ordering textbooks is often a huge headache – especially
when you have to buy them new. However, one of the best purchases I have ever
made is Amazon Prime. While the cost of a one-year membership is the equivalent
to some of the textbooks we have to purchase for classes, it has been a
wonderful investment.
Not
only has it been useful for school purposes, but also for other purposes.
Whenever I need to get a last-minute gift or just want to impulse shop, Amazon
pretty much has everything I could ever hope to find. From culinary tools to
movies and books to a microwaveable s’mores maker, there isn’t much that they don’t have.
And
as an added bonus, you also get access to hundreds of TV shows and movies which
you can instantly stream online. Also, you can add four guests to your account
so they can take advantage of the free two-day shipping, too. I have two
siblings in college who have had to order books as well, so it has been very
convenient for the three of us (plus our mom of course) to use. You also get
free returns, too, which can save a lot of money due to the ever-increasing
prices at the post office.
So
whether I’m using Amazon to be a productive college student or a distracted
young adult, it has many perks all around and I will most definitely continue
to use it!

Wow! I never thought of using Amazon for anything more than just a quick way to find a deal on an electronic item. I also just assumed to get my books from the local campus bookstore. After I read this immediately went onto amazon and found a few books that I could have gotten for a better price. Though it hurts to realize I paid more for the same thing, I am now happy that I can explore and buy future purchase for a better cost. Thanks!
