5 Subscriptions You Need for the Fall Semester

By Lorena Roberts on August 8, 2018

We all know what it’s like to be in college – every spare minute of your time is in demand. It’s hard to feel in control of life, and oftentimes college students start swirling into a place of stress and anxiety, overloaded by the demands of college life. Whether it’s getting to the grocery store on a weekly basis, or getting your assignments turned in one time, you aren’t the only college student in the country struggling.

If you’re looking for ways to make your life a little less hectic this fall semester, a recent press release might be just what you’re looking for. Here are the five most-needed subscriptions in any college student’s life.

1. Blue Bottle Coffee and MixCup

More than likely, you– especially when it comes to midterms and final exams. Keeping your energy level high is extremely important to those who want to be as successful as possible. Thankfully, Blue Bottle Coffee offers a subscription service, where coffee can be delivered straight to your door! You might be thinking, “that sounds even more expensive than my already-over-budget coffee allowance,” but this subscription service is as little as $8 per month (plus shipping, of course).

MixCup is similar, in that it provides a subscription service for you to get coffee delivered in K-cup form. Keurig coffee machines are extremely popular in dorm rooms. But it’s always a drag when you go to the grocery store and you are forced to spend your tiny coffee allowance on a single flavor. MixCup is made for the K-cup coffee lovers out there who want to explore some variety. This subscription service is a bit more expensive, at $12.95 per month.

If you need that cup of coffee to get out of bed in the morning (or around 2 p.m. in the afternoon when you start running out of steam), consider adding this coffee subscription service to your monthly budget.

2. Sparkle Hustle Grow

An interesting subscription service, Spark Hustle Grow, is a more recent addition to the subscription industry. For $24.95 per month, you could receive one box with 4-6 items ranging from pens to inspiring quotes to planners. This subscription service is targeted at females interested in business and making themselves “self-made” businesswomen. Are you looking to further your interests in entrepreneurship? This is the absolute perfect subscription service for you – and totally worth the $24.95 per month. 

3. Cengage Unlimited

Buying textbooks is easily one of the more stressful parts of being in college. It’s tough to pay tuition and then put aside more student loan money to make sure your student has the materials you might need to be successful in your classes. Thanks to Cengage’s new subscription service, Cengage Unlimited, now you can enjoy online access to thousands of course materials for one price. Just one semester of Cengage Unlimited is $119.99. Go ahead and buy the subscription for an entire school year and you’ll only pay $179.99. Don’t get bogged down in depression because it costs a few hundred dollars for one textbook for one class. Give yourself easy access to success this fall with the launch of Cengage’s new subscription service: Cengage Unlimited.

4. TheSkimm

Staying on top of current events is hard when you’re in college. If you’re interested in current events, but you have trouble making time for condensing the day’s news, what you need is a free subscription to TheSkimm. This daily newsletter comes straight to your email inbox and is already condensed for your convenience. You’ll get a laugh out of their phrasing, and you’ll feel ready to take on the day’s conversation with other intellectuals like yourself. It’s easy-to-read, condensed into a few paragraphs, and quite funny as well!

 5. The Calmbox

“College” and “stress” are basically synonyms, as I don’t know any college student out there who hasn’t felt a little bit of academic pressure. The Calmbox is a subscription you can enjoy for just $35 per month. Music, candles, tea, and aromatic herbs are sent to encourage you to take a little breather. Reducing stress is easy with this simple subscription.
