Student Blog
- The Broke Millennial blog became so popular that its founder, Erin Lowry, decided to turn the idea into a book series. Image courtesy of Parade. That’s why Erin Lowry created the blog Broke Millennial—it’s a resource for college students, recent graduates, and young adults in general to consult for advice having to do with money.
- Although kids often think of 'blogging' as outdated and something adults do, the ideas of having students write, reflect, post and give comments, is something which they will use on most every social media platform they encounter. In this process of working on student blog ideas, David Theriault's work on blogging was a huge help.

Technology is often ridiculed for minimizing social interaction. And, true, you might be more inclined to scroll through Instagram while you’re waiting for class to start than striking up a conversation with the stranger sitting next to you—but when it comes to bonding over the human experience, the Internet facilitates a discussion more open and farther-reaching than ever before. For instance, how often do you read a tweet that makes you realize, “Wait, other people feel like that, too? I’m not the only one?”
Not only is reading blogs written for and by college students a great way to pick up tips and tricks to make your life a little easier, but it’s also perfect for just feeling understood. From dating and partying to grades and life after graduation, college blogs have something for everyone. Interested in doing some non-required reading? Here are our top picks for the best blogs for college students.
Broke Millennial
If one thing’s become apparent in the age of the Internet, it’s that being an Adult™ is super confusing, especially when it comes to money. To make matters worse, millennials are often shamed for not knowing how to do “simple” things like filing a tax return (as if we chose to take two different kinds of Algebra instead of practical math).
That’s why Erin Lowry created the blog Broke Millennial—it’s a resource for college students, recent graduates, and young adults in general to consult for advice having to do with money. Broke Millennial talks about all things finances, from getting out of your parent’s house post-graduation to finding a side-hustle to make some extra cash.

No Tests or Quizzes—Just Reading For Fun
For all of the time that you spend reading in school, how much of it do you actually enjoy? This is where another perk of the Internet comes in: You have unlimited access to an infinite amount of reading material at any given time. Remember reading for fun? College blogs are a great way to get back into that habit, and you don’t have to block out large chunks of time to do it.
Does blogging feel a little 2000s to you? Sigh, we get it—and so do most of the bloggers behind these websites, which is why you can find many of them on social media as well. Get your fix of college-focused material by following them on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
College might only be four years long (give or take), but it can feel like a lifetime if you don’t have the right support. And when it comes to encouragement, motivation, and knowledge, the Internet is a resource that you can’t utilize enough (no matter what Baby Boomers might say!).
