Restaurants Offer Student Discounts - Be Sure to Take Your ID!

While participation is more prevalent in college towns, many merchants find student discounts beneficial to business. Though none of these can be guaranteed, here are some common discounts reported by students throughout the country. To be sure the discount is offered, call and ask your local store.

Smart Eats

Your first semester in college is an exciting time, when you will find yourself attending classes, studying, and making new friends. If you decide to live on campus in your freshman year, you might struggle in maintaining a healthy eating routine. This web page is designed to help you establish a healthy eating routine to maintain and get to your ideal body weight. A healthy diet provides many benefits such as preventing you from feeling tired as well as helping you to maintain your energy and prevent chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. You may save some money because you will spend less money on ‘junk food’ such as sweetened beverages which can contribute to weight gain. College is a time when people begin to reinforce their eating habits. If you gain weight during this period of your life, it is generally an indicator that weight gain will continue after graduation (Gores, 2008). Below are some smart eats recipes.
