Do you guys use CleanMyMac X on your new MBA M1? I ordered mine with 16gb RAM, but when I check on CleanMyMac X, it usually says I only have available RAM of less than 300MB. And I only have WhatsApp, Safari and Mail running.

I installed it last week. Since I restored from time machine, I found it useful to clean out junk and old system files. For the memory question, other users have answered you. In my case, the system used up 9-10GB out of 16GB ram.

Something really is draining my Mac's battery and I cannot seem to find what. I went out for 5 hours came back and 10% gone. I restart the laptop before I went out to see if it made any difference.

Try to check via built-in Activity Monitor. Else contact Apple Support to diagnose

noob question here:

is there special rebate students for macbook products? How do they verified if ordering from apple.com?

Usually when they're verifying the education status, they will send an email requesting some supporting documents, be it an offer letter, student/staff ID, testimonial from university, etc.
