exclusive reader offer: residence hall linens

Hello, dearest readers! As summer gets rolling, we have a special offer for college students who read Zabelieth: $25 off at Residence Hall Linens!

Feel like changing the look of your dorm room next year? Decorations and furniture are everything, from bordering the ceiling in small Christmas lights to covering the walls with your favorite posters and photos. If you're allowed to put in shelves, those are also a great way to break up a bare ugly cinderblock wall and give the room some character. Getting a rug or adding curtains also immediately disguises a dorm room and makes it more homey.

When it comes to bedding and towels, RHL has a thorough assortment of all your college linens. You can get everything in the form of their Value Packs, which include bedding and bath linens in the color scheme of your choice (we're a fan of "Deep Pink Paris"). Residence Hall Linens also sells storage and organization items such as trunks and hanging garment organizers. They also offer a selection of wall decals, rugs, and other decorations.

To get the exclusive discount provided through the Her Campus Blogger Network, just use this discount code: "MAYSAVE25RHL" which takes $25 off Value Packs ONLY.

HitBliss: better than hulu and netflix?

Online TV without commercials and without subscription fees?

There's a new competitor in the midst of Hulu/HuluPlus and Netflix: HitBliss!

Check it out/sign up here. It will download the application, which you install on your computer, then allow you to either create an account or simply log in with Facebook.

The best part - it doesn't have to cost you a dime if you take advantage of their system of earning money by watching commercials. Basically you can either pay to watch your shows commercial-free online, which in itself is a new privilege and a step up from Hulu and most other online streaming platforms... or you can use the HitBliss Earn feature to watch all the commercials you've been getting out of for a few minutes to earn cash you can redeem on your TV episodes and movies. In less than five minutes I'd made $5 just by watching a bunch of fun commercials for Dr. Pepper, Aflac, etc. You can decide which commercials you want to watch/skip and select brands you want to see advertised. HitBliss builds off of your suggestions and input. When you're not up for going through this, HitBliss also offers a lot of free show episodes as well!

HitBliss builds in even more benefits - for example, if you complete your account to provide more demographic info about yourself (gender, income level, education, etc.) you get extra points and get more rewards for watching fewer commercials. You gradually gain levels and unlock more and more benefits. A very cool new adaptation for internet TV and movie viewers!
