Learn a language online with Myngle

Ever had the desire to learn a second language but haven’t had the time? Thanks to the power of the internet, you’ll soon be able to take online language classes from the comfort of your ergonomic chair. Myngle doesn’t require any proprietary software – only Skype. Along with a broadband internet connection, you’ll also need [...]

Be a manager this summer

There’s a company called Collegeworks Painting that apparently hires college students to be branch managers of the company. From their FAQ, they state that they do this “…to allow college students to have a real life business experience and to earn money for the high cost of tuition.” Whether or not you’d have a branch [...]

College football = tailgating

Tailgating before a football game on a sunny Saturday is a time honored tradition. Do you really wanna be the one to break that tradition? I didn’t think so. So you need: hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages, condiments, cups, plates, plasticware, napkins (for when you spill your soda into the truck bed liner), soft drinks, trash [...]

Golf could never relieve my stress

With all the homework, tests and extracurriculars that the college life brings me, I’ve been in search of a chill-out activity. I’ve decided that golf will never be that activity.

College students are notorious for being broke, and sometimes, broke is an understatement. It’s hard to keep money coming in while taking on a load of classes (unless you blog like me). So what can you do to save money, other than keep the ramen noodle industry alive? Set up a budget. If you know [...]

Become a master of productive procrastination

Do you procrastinate? I definitely do. It’s a skill that is often looked down on, but thankfully some are showing us how we can harness our powers and use them to our advantage. Maybe putting off that paper I have due for tomorrow isn’t such a bad thing… How to procrastinate more productively [LifeClever via [...]

You’re in college, take pictures

The unofficial motto of the college student is to get by on as little as possible. There are a few must haves, however. Some might disagree with me, but I feel that digital cameras fall into the must-have category. Without one, you’ll be forced to chronicle those great college moments in words, or worse yet, [...]

Bikes are cool again

I saw someone riding a bike to class this morning. In high school, I probably would have laughed and declared that kid a nerd. Fast forward to college – I was thinking to myself, “That is GENIUS.” Am I more grown up now or just lazier? Hmm…
