    Five College Rankings We Actually Care About

    Newsweek just released their 2011 college rankings, and they’re pretty useless for prospective students. Top Schools for Activists? Boring. Best Schools for Foreign Students? I could just study abroad. Most Rigorous? Why would I want to challenge myself? Here are five categories that Newsweek should have included on their list that prospective students would actually need to know about.

    Photoshop Flop: The Resurrection of Princess Diana

    So, what’s creepier than featuring a photoshopped image of the late Princess of Wales (14 yrs deceased) and the new Duchess of Cambridge (just married to the Princess’ son) on the cover of the latest Newsweek? Oh that’s right, NOTHING.

    I’m Torn: Rainbows

    I live in my Rainbows. Period. No matter if it’s spring or fall, cloudy or sunny, hot or cold. No matter if I’m heading to a class, rocking out at a concert, or lounging by the pool. My Rainbows are constantly my go-to shoe, but sometimes – I admit – they’re just not a very good shoe choice.
