Joi Wade am gonna be a freshman at college too. September though & am on a budget how do I get the Amazon prime students deal?

[@JoseeMarSephAmEh]

Go on Amazon .it is really easy to sign in

[@sarpongemmanuella6538]

@JoseeMarSeph AmEh I did went to Amazon & it gave Me a test after the test, it said it sent an OTP but I couldn't find it so I left it.

[@Kamdynne]

Also don't bring command hooks. The paint on the walls are usually really cheap and peeling the hooks can damage the walls and thats extra money. I recommend thumbtacks and then when you take them off just rub a bar soap on the whole to do a quick patch up!

[@roshepvids5513]

Smart

[@itsnathann]

My room was cinder block so command hooks were the only way to hang anything lol

[@Natalieenauman]

if you want to use command hooks you can put painters tape on the wall underneath them and that tape will protect the wall!!!

I giggled when you got to “don’t bring things you haven’t worn in a year.” Now that it’s after Covid, all I’ve worn in a year is pajamas and such. 😂 Everything hasn’t been worn in a year! But it’s funny looking back, you could’ve never predicted that in 2019!
