It's sad when you lose things you've come to take for granted

RIP Amazon Prime Membership

Having you in my life was lovely, and you will be sorely missed. Amazon did a wonderful thing to recognize the struggles of a college student's limited-real-world-shopping-opportunities experience and gave a free prime membership to anyone with a .edu email address, and the site and I became much closer friends once I could magically get things in two days with free shipping. Even my mom took advantage of you. And now I log back in today to recontemplate whether I'm going to buy Jill Scott's album or just pirate it (arrrrrgh!) and I am saddened to no longer see evidence of you on the site, brightening my Amazon experience. I almost wonder whether it's worth it to buy a real Prime membership like a grown-up. *crosses fingers in the hopes that Amazon will love students again real soon*
