			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-58079" title="diy cuff 1" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/diy-cuff-1.jpg" alt="" width="322" height="431" />Everywhere you look this season there are boyfriend blazers.  This simple wardrobe staple can elevate any casual outfit and give it that extra touch of class.</p>
<p>Whether worn over a cute spring dress or paired with skinny jeans, the basic boyfriend blazer is a must-have for every woman’s closet.  Now don’t get me wrong, I obviously love me a basic black boyfriend blazer (say that five times fast… I dare you), but it can also look pretty boring and plain.</p>
<p>So if you want to add a little punch or color to your traditional blazer, here is an easy and fun way to update your boyfriend blazer with a patterned cuff.</p>
<p><strong>What You’ll Need:</strong><br />
<em><br />
A boyfriend blazer: </em>Use one you already own or pick one up that’s cheap and chic at Marshalls, Target, or TJ-Maxx.  To really get into the season, try a white blazer.<br />
<em><br />
Fabric:</em> Pick any color or pattern that strikes your fancy.  You can go bold with something bright and solid; channel Lily Pulitzer with some bright florals; or go for a classic Burberry style with a red, black and beige plaid. Really, the opportunities are endless, so find something that&#8217;s you. <strong>You’ll need about 3 feet of fabric</strong>, so just get a yard (as most craft stores cut by the yard).  Joann’s Fabric has a huge and fun selection.</p>
<p><em>Sewing materials: </em>Needle and thread in black or a color that matches your fabric pattern. A sewing machine if you feel so inclined. A seam ripper if you&#8217;ll be recycling an old BF blazer.<span id="more-58011"></span></p>
<p><strong>What You’ll Do: </strong></p>
<p>1. Make your cuff: using your own blazer as a guide, wrap your fabric around the end of your jacket sleeve so you can see how long your cuff will need to be.  (Much like how you would tie a string around your wrist to see where the string needs to be cut so it will fit your wrist properly).  With a pen, mark the spot where the fabric meets the fabric.</p>
<p><em>(Note: you&#8217;ll obviously need to do all of these steps twice, unless you only want one cuff!)</em></p>
<p>2.  Now with your fabric on a flat surface, add two inches lengthwise to the spot you marked and mark again.</p>
<p>3. Figure out how wide you want your cuff to be. Double that number and mark your fabric. (So if you want a 4-5 inch cuff, you should cut your fabric 8-10 inches wide.) Now cut out your piece of fabric accordingly. You’ll end up with a big rectangular piece of fabric.</p>
<p>4. Fold your piece of fabric in half, length wise (hot-dog style) with the pattern side showing. The wrong sides of your fabric should be pressed together.  Sew the edges of the fabric together starting at the left side.  <em><strong>Do not sew the sides together</strong>.</em> Now you have one long, folded piece of fabric, which is your cuff!</p>
<p>5. If your blazer has a cuff already, use a seam ripper to undo the previous cuff fabric or lining. If not, fold back the end of your blazer sleeve a few inches.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-58080" title="diy cuff 2" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/diy-cuff-2.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="280" />6.  Sew what will be the bottom of your cuff  (when the sleeve is rolled up) into the inside of the jacket sleeve. You’ll essentially be sewing in a circle around the sleeve. This will be near the edge of the actual sleeve, which will allow you to expose the cuff without losing any sleeve length.</p>
<p>7. When you&#8217;ve finished sewing and the two ends meet, fold back the edges a few centimeters so you can create a nice, even seam and sew them together in the back. (You will not see this when the sleeve is rolled up.)</p>
<p>8. Now fold back your cuff on the blazer sleeve.  It should look like a finished blazer cuff now.  I like the loose cuff look, but if you want a more secure blazer sleeve, sew the top part of the cuff to the actual blazer sleeve..</p>
<p>9. Finally, work that blazer with style and when people ask where your chic new piece is from, proudly tell them you made it!</p>

Okay, so even if you’re not like me, you probably still have lots of necklaces and earrings lying around. And you probably have NO place to store them.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=collegecandy.com&amp;blog=860993&amp;post=50580&amp;subd=collegecandy&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-50777" title="wall jewelry 2" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/wall-jewelry-2.jpg" alt="" width="328" height="328" />If you’re anything like me, you’re a crafty college girl who may or may not have an addiction to jewelry.  You also may be a Disney fiend who reads too many gossip magazines&#8230;</p>
<p>Okay, so even if you’re not like me, you probably still have lots of necklaces and earrings lying around (what girl doesn’t love her some jewels?). And you probably have NO place to store them.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I refuse to stuff away my nice necklaces in a jewelry box where they’ll end up tangled and tarnished and I don’t have space on my crowded mess of a desk for anything better. Not that I could afford a fancy jewelry box anyway; I&#8217;m a broke college girl with zero cashmoney living the dollar-a-slice lifestyle.</p>
<p>I decided to get a little creative (on the cheap) and come up with a way do store my jewelry and add some personal pizazz to my stark white walls. This on-the-wall jewelry hanger is a creative and easy way to store and display your jewelry. Plus, you’ll spend less time detangling your favorite necklaces and more time actually wearing them!<span id="more-50580"></span><br />
<em><strong><br />
</strong></em><strong>What You’ll Need:</strong><em><strong><br />
</strong></em><strong><br />
<em>Cork Board Tiles</em></strong><em>:</em> Sold in sets of four, you can find these at Walmart, Target, or any office supply store. You&#8217;ll have to determine how many you&#8217;ll need based on how much jewelry you&#8217;re hoarding, but for all my necklaces and earrings (and I’m an addict, remember) I only needed 4 tiles.<br />
<strong><em>Fabric</em>:</strong> Optional. Any color, pattern, or design you want!  This is your aesthetic choice. You’ll use the fabric to cover the cork tiles, so pick a color or design that matches the rest of your room. 1 yard of fabric will give you plenty of fabric to work with.<br />
<strong><em>Ribbon</em>: </strong>Again, any color, pattern, or design you want. This will add an extra polished touch to your jewelry hanger.<br />
<strong><em>Pushpins</em>:</strong> Grab the normal ones in any color. I personally recommend clear, white, or black because they will make the jewelry piece look more uniform.<br />
<strong><em>Glue</em>:</strong> You’ll need both <strong>super glue </strong>and a <strong>hot glue gun</strong>.<em><strong><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>What You&#8217;ll Do</strong></p>
<p>1. Place one cork tile on top of your fabric (design side down) leaving a 1-inch border of extra fabric surrounding your cork tile on all sides. Cut to size.</p>
<p>2. Line the cork tile with your hot glue on all four sides (like you’re drawing a square), then fold the extra fabric down onto the glue (one side at a time). When you fold down the extra fabric to glue down, make sure the fabric is pulled tight! Let dry. Do not turn over yet.</p>
<p>3.  Take another cork tile and completely cover it with hot glue. Glue that cork tile to the fabric-lined cork tile (which is still not turned over) in step 2 by pressing the two tiles together and pressing down firmly. Let dry.<br />
<em>(<strong>Note:</strong> You need to double up on the cork boards so the pushpins/earring posts don&#8217;t go through and hit the wall. Do not skip this step!!)</em></p>
<p>4. Turn your cork tile over, which will now be covered in fabric and pretty. Yay!</p>
<p>5. If you want to add ribbon, cut your ribbon in the size of the cork tile sides and super glue them around the edges of our tiles. This will add some extra craftiness!</p>
<p>6. Using the adhesive sticky backings that come with your cork tiles, stick the tile piece to the wall.<br />
<em>Tip</em>: if you’re hanging lots of jewelry, use some extra adhesive backings. You can buy these at office supply stores, Target, etc., for really cheap!</p>
<div id="attachment_50778" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 256px"><img class="size-full wp-image-50778" title="wall jewelry 1" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/wall-jewelry-1.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="327" /><p class="wp-caption-text">See? You can hang all your favorite stuff AND it looks cool on the wall!</p></div>
<p>7. Now add the pushpins to your cork tile by lining them horizontally.<br />
<em><strong><br />
For an earring jewelry hanger:</strong></em> Place 4 pushpins about 2 inches apart from each other in a line at the top of the fabric tile. 3-4 inches underneath that first line, make a second row of pins. This time, though, use 5 pins and stagger them so they are between the row above (instead of directly under). Continue this process until you have 4 or 5 lines of pushpins. You will hang your dangles/hoops from the pins. If you have stud earrings, use a pushpin to poke holes in the fabric covered cork board and then push your stud earrings into the holes.</p>
<p><strong>For a necklace/bracelet hanger:</strong> Place 4 pushpins about 2 inches apart from each other in a row at the top of the fabric tile. 5 inches underneath that first line, make a row of 5 pushpins (again, staggering them so they aren&#8217;t directly beneath the pins above).</p>
<p>8. Untangle that mess of jewelry and hang that ish up! Then enjoy the ease of finding your favorite necklaces.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-44186" title="bracelets copy" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/bracelets-copy.jpg" alt="bracelets copy" width="328" height="328" />Worn correctly, accessories can take an ordinary, plain outfit and transform it into an extraordinary one.  Personally, I’m in amore with accessories, especially jewelry.</p>
<p>This season, the fashion world is all about neon and bright colors. Yes, even during the winter. Bright tights under dark skirts, bright purses to add a splash of color to any outfit&#8230; I like to think designers like Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenberg and Christian Siriano are doing their part to put an end to seasonal depression.  And I applaud that.</p>
<p>Especially when it&#8217;s happening with fun and cheery bracelets that will brighten any dark and dreary winter day.  Like <a href="http://www.ettika.com/product.cgi?group=37021&amp;product=37201">Ettika</a>’s braided neon bracelets that <a href="http://www.ettika.com/usa_press.html">celebrities</a> love. They are so simple, adorable and fun. And I want a million of them.</p>
<p>Problem is, they’re expensive for being a simple (yet fabulous!) piece of jewelry.  $24 for one bracelet? I don’t think so!</p>
<p>Good thing they&#8217;re incredibly easy to DIY on the C-H-E-A-P. Add a little neon-cheer to your winter and make these bracelet on your own.</p>
<p><strong>What You’ll Need</strong>:</p>
<p>1. <strong><a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/giftPackaging/ribbonsBows?productId=10005447">Neon Satin Cord</a>: </strong>You can pick this up at most fabric/trimming/art stores. You can even get it at the Container Store. You’ll need about 1.5-2  feet each of 3 different neon colors of satin/silk thread.  This will be enough for one bracelet (with a little extra depending on wrist size).  If you want to save some money and get the most for your buck, buy a yard of each color so you can make way more bracelets!</p>
<p><em>P.S. If you live in NYC, you’re in luck because the Fashion District has about a million fabric/trimming stores. Try M&amp;J Trimming (they are the bestest).</em></p>
<p>2. <strong>Superglue:</strong> Since the satin or silk thread is very slick, the superglue will help keep the ends of the thread in the clasps. Use the type with a brush &#8211; it makes the application easier (and prevents it from getting on your hands/getting your fingers stuck together). Also, whenever using superglue on your bracelet, only use a little!<span id="more-43992"></span></p>
<p>3. <strong>Tape</strong>: This will hold your bracelet to a table, desk, or any hard surface while you braid the thread.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Charms</strong>: You can find super cute charms at any craft or bead store. Pick the ones that suit you best to add some fun and charm (tee hee) to your bracelet.</p>
<p><strong>What You’ll Do:</strong></p>
<p>1. Take the ends of the 3 different color cords and tie them in a secure knot, leaving a few centimeters of extra cord.  But before securing the knot, brush on superglue between the knot and around the extra cord.  Tie securely by  pulling on the extra bit of cord.  Once the super glue dries, you can cut off the extra.</p>
<p>2. Tape the cord knot to a solid surface, so you can start braiding your cords.</p>
<p>3, While braiding, slip your charm(s) onto one of the cords and braid it into the bracelet at your desired location. Continue braiding, leaving an inch or so of un-braided cord at the end.</p>
<p>4.   Hold the end of the braided cord with your fingers (or use tweezers) and dab a little bit of superglue where the braid ends and the un-braided portion begins to secure it.</p>
<p>5. With the extra, unbraided 3 cords, make a loop big enough to fit the other knotted end of the bracelet through.  Use superglue to keep the loop in place.</p>
<p>6. With a small extra piece of cord, tie a knot around the end of the loop.  Secure the loop with superglue.  You don’t have to do this step, but it looks better, adds color, and will make your bracelet more secure!</p>
<p>7. Finally, loop the knotted end of the bracelet through the loop to secure that sucker onto your wrist and bring on the fabulous. See ya later, gloomy winter.</p>
<p><em><strong>Some extra tips</strong></em>: Make a bunch of bracelets and layer them! Choose other colors, neon or not, to wear all year long! If you want to make an even fancier bracelet, try braiding in a strand of small pearls or rhinestones.  To really add some bohemian charm to your outfit, make a long wrap bracelet by using a 2-3 feet of cord.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-28235" title="lifecoaches_visionboard" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/lifecoaches_visionboard.jpg" alt="lifecoaches_visionboard" width="371" height="278" />We’ve all heard of Vision Boards. Whether it be from <a href="http://www.thesecret.tv/">The Secret</a>, The Oprah Show, or that crazy chick on <em>The Bachelor</em> who went on and on (and on) about hers the first night she met Jason. And then got kicked off. (But don&#8217;t let her bad luck turn you off; it wasn&#8217;t the vision board that sent her packing. That bitch was crazy.)</p>
<p><strong>So, what <em>are</em> vision boards?</strong><br />
Vision Boards put your thoughts on paper, and force you to sit down and really evaluate what you want for yourself in the future &#8211; be it tomorrow or 2 years from now. And they stop you from going down a path you don&#8217;t really want. Not to mention looking at those images every day is a constant reminder of your dreams and goals and makes you that much more motivated to work towards making them a reality.</p>
<p>You can make them big or small. Mini vision boards are great for smaller goals. I have a mini vision board in my kitchen, which reminds me of my goal to stay healthy whenever I&#8217;m reaching for the pizza takeout menus. And I have one over my desk, filled with images and words that remind me of my long term academic goals so I don&#8217;t stray when I should be studying.</p>
<p>And then there are the biggies &#8211; a vision board for your life, filled with what you want to achieve in many aspects of your future: school, career, love, dreams&#8230;.anything.</p>
<p><span id="more-28229"></span></p>
<p><strong>How do you make a vision board?</strong><br />
The best part of Vision Boards is the fun you have putting it together. (Oh, and down the road when you fulfill all your life&#8217;s goals and dreams&#8230;) It&#8217;s like art class, only you don&#8217;t have that weird <a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1241159936/ch0011299">Miss Lippy</a> teacher breathing down your neck. Just start saving up some magazines and wait for that perfect rainy Sunday afternoon to put your vision down on poster board. Here are some tips:</p>
<p>1. Start pulling out images, words and quotes from magazines as you&#8217;re looking through them and save them in a file for when you make your board. Could be your dream house, your favorite inspiring quote or a picture of someone you want to meet whose inspired you (<em>hello,</em> Jason Segel; you&#8217;ve inspired me to want to &#8211; um &#8211; date you).</p>
<p>2. Make a list of what you REALLY want. I mean sure, we&#8217;d all like 12 pairs of Chanel flats but is that really vision-board-worthy? Sit down and write out what you <em>really</em> want for yourself, your career, where you live, who you&#8217;re surrounded by, etc.</p>
<p>3. Buy some Coarkboard, a thick poster board, or a pretty frame to put it in. This will make it more apartment decor and less 7th grader collage. And it really would look awesome over your couch, bed, or desk.</p>
<p>4. Don&#8217;t be afraid to throw on dates that you want things to happen by! Sounds crazy but as the saying goes, &#8220;what you think about, you bring about&#8221;</p>
<p>5. I like the idea of a few &#8220;themed&#8221; vision board -  one for physical/mental health, one for career, one for love, one for random stuff you want (Chanel flats totally approps here!). Breaking the visions down will allow you to really focus in on one area that is particularly important to you.</p>
<p>6. Don&#8217;t let others who laugh at you for doing this bring you down. Because they will. But they are just judgemental or dumb or people who suck at life. People who will look at you in awe when your life is falling into place and they are still lost souls looking for some direction.</p>

This week we're doin' things a little differently. And by different, we mean delicious. Get ready to make one delectable dessert.]</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em></em>Seriously, who doesn&#8217;t love some combination of cinnamon and apple?  No matter how you make it, you literally can&#8217;t go wrong with this stuff.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Apple pie has always been an American fave, sure, but that term &#8220;easy as pie&#8221; doesn&#8217;t really apply to me. What is easy about cutting up a billion apples, making a crust and then waiting to eat it?  So when I decided I wanted something similar, I made myself something akin to a mini apple pie, sans the irritating process of cutting up apples. Preparation can be a <em>bit</em> bothersome, but trust me, it is WORTH it.<span id="more-13187"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>For Da Dough</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
3/4 teaspon salt<br />
2/3 butter (or 1/3 butter and 1/3 olive oil to be a little healthier)<br />
6 tablespoons cold water</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>For Da Apples</strong>:<br />
6 large Granny Smith apples<br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
3/4 cup brown sugar<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
3 cups water<br />
2 cups white sugar<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Do It Up:</strong><br />
1. Preheat your oven to about 400F.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">2. The pastry is easy: mix up the flour and salt in a bowl, then cut in the butter or butter/oil mix until everything is kind of crumbly.  You might need a helping hand or just be really careful at this point, but you&#8217;ll need to pour in the water tablespoon by tablespoon while mixing to get that nice doughy ball of&#8230;well, dough.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">3. Get a rolling pin (sprinkle a little flour on the counter and on the pin to make sure the dough doesn&#8217;t stick).  If you don&#8217;t have a rolling pin, use a flat glass, or, at last resort, get a heavy textbook to flatten that sucker out.  It should be about 24 by 16 inches, but there&#8217;s always room for error &#8211; if it&#8217;s not exact, then hey, it&#8217;s not exact.  Cut this up into six even pieces.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">4. Now core them apples!  To core an apple, just cut the top off, then grab a handy spoon and to scoop out the core and the seeds.  Somewhere in here, you&#8217;re also gonna wanna put the sugar, the water, the vanilla extract and some of the butter in a saucepan.  Let it boil until the sugar is dissolved.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">5. Sprinkle a little brown sugar and cinnamon onto the dough.  (<em>Quickie tip; if you don&#8217;t have brown sugar, I think they sell cinnamon sugar in stores; you could use that instead.  In a crunch &#8211; literally &#8211; ground up Cinnamon Toast Crunch works!</em>), then put the apple on top of it.  Put more sugar inside of the apple and about half a spoonful of butter (hey, no one said this was healthy).  Now, bring up the two opposite corners of the pastry so that they touch.  Do the same with the other two corners.  Then, pinch and form the sides (gently!) to form a little dough cocoon around your apple.  When you&#8217;re done, put them in a greased baking dish..</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">6. That saucepan should be ready now.  If there&#8217;s any extra butter, put it in, then pour what&#8217;s in there over the dumplings (don&#8217;t over do it, though; you want to put some on when they come out, too).  Now bake that sucker for about an hour.  When they&#8217;re done and the entirety of your apartment complex/dorm has come into the basement because they can smell your delectable desert, take them out and pour the last of the sauce over them.  (<em>Quickie Tip: These guys go GREAT with a scoop of vanilla ice cream right on the side.</em>)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">7. Use your rolling pin to fend off hungry friends and family, and enjoy!</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know how it happened really, but over the years I&#8217;ve accumulated quite a large jewelery collection. I think a lot of it came from my Bat Mitzvah, when I got more bracelets than I knew what to do with (oh what I would give to trade all that in for cold, hard cash). Still, today I&#8217;m lucky to have a very impressive jewelery collection.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so &#8220;impressive&#8221; that I often get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff. It&#8217;s everywhere &#8211; in bowls, in bags, in my mini-fridge (though I can blame Keystone Light and a power hour for that one). It&#8217;s a mess.  My necklaces get tangled, rings get broken and earrings are separated from their mates. I got so overwhelmed that I had to find a solution and &#8211; yay for me &#8211; I came up with the perfect answer to my jewelry problems. Bonus: it also happens to be a great and unique way to spruce up a boring wall:</p>
<p>The Corkboard Jewelry Holder<span id="more-26486"></span></p>
<p><strong>Materials:</strong><br />
Small bulletin board<br />
Box of pushpins (if you can find cute ones, that&#8217;s definitely a plus!)<br />
Cork board strips (you can get them at Staples)<br />
Hammer<br />
Nails/Double Sided Tape</p>
<p><strong>Steps</strong><br />
1. Go around your room and gather all of the jewelery you wish to display.<br />
2. Separate it all by type: 1 pile for necklaces, 1 for earrings, etc.<br />
3. Discard any lone earrings (let&#8217;s be real &#8211; you aren&#8217;t going to find the other half anytime soon).</p>
<p><em>For Necklaces and Bracelets:</em><br />
1. Hang the bulletin board on the wall using the hammer and nails. If you&#8217;re not allowed to use nails in your dorm room, try some really heavy double-sided foam tape.</p>
<p>2. Place the push pins across the top edge of the bulletin board, about a finger&#8217;s width apart.</p>
<p>3.  Hang necklaces and bracelets on the pushpins.</p>
<p><em>Note</em>: If you have a lot of bracelets, make two rows of pushpins: put the bracelets across the top and hang the necklaces beneath them.</p>
<p><em>For Earrings and Rings:</em><br />
1. Hang cork strips on your wall using nails or double sided foam tape.</p>
<p>2. Insert 2 pushpins approximately a finger&#8217;s width apart.</p>
<p>3. Hang earring/ring on the pushpins and adjust if necessary.</p>
<p>4. Repeat.</p>
<p><em>Note</em>: For non-dangly &#8220;stud&#8221; earrings you can poke a holes in the cork board using a push pin. Then, just stick your earrings in the holes you made. I don&#8217;t recommend directly sticking your earring posts in the board, because they will bend or break.</p>
<p><em>Warning</em>: Once your jewelery is neatly organized and out there for the world to see you may have to fight off the grabby hands of a little sister/roommate/best friend. But at least the new organization will allow you to know which adorable accessory is missing&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/busywoman.jpg?w=388&#038;h=309" alt="busywoman.jpg" align="right" height="309" width="388" />Are you Wonder Woman?  Do you balance more activities, projects, and tasks than there are hours in a day?  Do you think sleep is a myth?  If you constantly find yourself having to schedule in five minute appointments with yourself just to down a bagel and keep going, you may have what some people refer to as &#8220;a hectic schedule.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sure, it seems overwhelming; sure, sometimes you want to break down and cry; but at the end of the day, you love what you do, and you&#8217;re proud of the fact that you can accomplish an exponential amount more than most mortals.  And you know that everything you do will benefit you in the long run.</p>
<p>I love to feel useful, so it&#8217;s always been hard for me to say &#8220;no&#8221; to picking up an extra shift, or doing an extra project.  When I was in high school, I worked part time, was active in drama club, cheerleading, amnesty international, gay/straight alliance, dance classes, and, senior year, I edited the yearbook. And I did it all while making honor roll each semester.  In college, I wasn&#8217;t so active in extra-curriculars, but I held down two restaurant jobs, took a full course load, and partied my face off, while making Dean&#8217;s List.  You can call me a nerd; I just think I have a severe case of ADHD that&#8217;s never been officially diagnosed.</p>
<p>That said, Wonder Woman, I know the meaning of stress, and I know the importance of staying organized.  Here are some of my own personal life-saving tips.<span id="more-13735"></span></p>
<p>1.  <strong>Write everything down</strong>.</p>
<p>In fact, write everything down multiple times.  I feel relaxed just by rifling through my brain and coming up with a list of what needs to get done, and when.  Carry a planner, so you don&#8217;t have to rack your brain if someone asks what you&#8217;re doing Saturday, November 15 at 3:30 p.m.  Tape a list of upcoming homework assignments next to your bed, and cross off each completed task when you&#8217;re finished.  Instead of doodling during a boring lecture, write the list over again, and come to grips with what projects are the most urgent (eg. you need to start them NOW).</p>
<p>2.  <strong>Use every minute of free time.</strong></p>
<p>Have a half-hour break between classes?  Email your professor while you scarf that bagel.  Do that &#8220;busy-work&#8221; assignment that&#8217;s been in the back of your head &#8211; the one that&#8217;s so simple you can&#8217;t bring yourself to start it.  Lunch break at work? Bring your English book and read a chapter instead of gossiping in the smoking lounge (and by smoking lounge, I obviously mean that obscure space outside the back door where everyone huddles around a butt can).  You&#8217;d be surprised how much you can get done in little intervals&#8230; and you might even find that you&#8217;ve suddenly got a large interval of time <em>to spare</em>.</p>
<p>3.   <strong>Condense Your Tools.</strong></p>
<p>When you&#8217;re on the go, forgetting one thing can ruin your day and cause a mega-meltdown.  Instead of having a folder, a binder, and a notebook for each class, get a five-subject notebook and one of those accordion folders with dividers for handouts.  You&#8217;ll only need to grab the same two things each day.  Plus, instead of having an assignment book, a date book, and all that fancy shmancy stuff, grab a planner that has a section for everything you might need, all in one.  Still not efficient enough?  Try&#8230;</p>
<p>4.  <strong>Using Technology to Your Advantage.</strong></p>
<p>My favorite tool on my Macbook?  The &#8220;Stickies&#8221; application.  I have notes open (in all different colors, of course), for my banking and credit card info, upcoming assignments, important email addresses, etc.  As long as you have your computer, you&#8217;ll never lose them or accidentally throw them out; they&#8217;re easier to manage than rifling through a hundred pages to find one reminder; and they can conveniently disappear behind your Microsoft Word or Firefox windows, OR you can set them as a &#8220;floating window&#8221; so they&#8217;re always visible.  Blackberries, iPhones, and other digital instruments can work to your advantage, and send you preset reminders so you never forget.</p>
<p>5.<strong>  Stay clean.</strong></p>
<p>This is the most difficult for me, a self-proclaimed slob and packrat.  But if your papers are all over your desk, you&#8217;re not going to find your Spanish notes before the exam.  Hell, even if your clothes are scattered on the floor, you might freak out if you can&#8217;t find the blouse you just NEED to wear for your business class presentation.  Knowing where everything is, and how to locate it will make things a thousand times easier for you, <em>and</em>, in a crunch, you can probably get help from your roommate, friend, or a family member (such as when you&#8217;re stuck in bumper to bumper traffic but have to hand in an essay in twenty minutes, and your dear, sweet, darling roommate agrees to find your USB stick, print your essay on her computer, and meet you outside your dorm to pass it off as you spring to your deadline).</p>
<p>6.  <strong>Plan ahead</strong>.</p>
<p>Finished everything for today? It might be easy to crash on the couch and watch SoapNet reruns for hours, just so you don&#8217;t have to think.  But then you might be stressed again tomorrow.  Look at your calendar, and see if there&#8217;s anything you can get a jump start on, or anything you can work on now to give yourself time to party like a rockstar on Saturday.  Forcing yourself to work when you&#8217;re beat might seem like cruel and unusual self-discipline, but as a fellow workaholic, I can affirm: we did this to ourselves.</p>
<p>7.  <strong>Take Time to Recharge.</strong></p>
<p>Sure, I just said to plan ahead.  And you should, if you&#8217;re up for it.  But if you can barely keep your eyes open, it&#8217;s time for a nap; even if you still have one more little thing to do today.  Running yourself into the ground will have drastic consequences, including sloppy work and a bitchy attitude.  Besides, if you are a stellar multi-tasker, you&#8217;ll learn to plan ahead your time to recharge.  Look at your calendar- if you know you have back-to-back midterms, a twenty-page paper due, and a monthly meeting, it won&#8217;t kill you to take a shift off from work.  Or, if you&#8217;re on top of your game in class, you can use your free skip day when you know you won&#8217;t be missing much, and rest up with little guilt.  People as busy as we are can appreciate every minute of free time, so if you treat yourself to an unexpected break, even a half-day can feel like a million years.</p>
<p>These are my own personal tricks to staying collected even when I feel like I&#8217;m on the brink of erupting in a volcano of anxiety.  On the bright side, the waves of stress come and go, I&#8217;m NEVER bored, and at the end of the day, I can sit back and see a variety of products that I made happen.  People ask me if I&#8217;m on crack, and I&#8217;m not.  Just a billion milligrams of caffeine.  And I wouldn&#8217;t change my lifestyle for the world.</p>
<p>How do all the other supergirls of the world deal with their hectic schedules?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/worstscarymoviepic.jpg" alt="worstscarymoviepic.jpg" align="right" />If you&#8217;re a fan of scary movies, you may be hard pressed to choose your favorite.  But oh. my. lord; the <em>worst</em> scary movies of all time have turned into jokey, pop culture icons.</p>
<p>The trailers of these films look promising, and then the movies crash and burn.  Big time.  And they become the laughingstock of twelve year old kids everywhere who thought they were being daring by watching that movie that mommy and daddy told them not to.</p>
<p>But, wait. That movie was a joke.</p>
<p>In the spirit of Halloween, my friends and I were recently trying to list the best scary movies of all time, but in doing so, we ended up creating a list of the 5 worst. It seems like those were easier to come up with because usually there&#8217;s no argument; they are unanimously bad.  These movies don&#8217;t send chills down your spine or make you jump when someone comes up behind you. These not-so-scary movies make you laugh. Hard.</p>
<p>In no particular order:<span id="more-12659"></span></p>
<p>5.  <strong>IT </strong>- I know, I know.  Many will argue this movie was actually creepy.  It&#8217;s Stephen King.  It&#8217;s about clowns.  I mean, everybody is afraid of clowns.  Or at least, a good two-thirds of the population.  And still it makes my worst movie list because of the 180 turn in the middle of the movie.  The first half  isn&#8217;t bad &#8211; it kinda creeped me out a bit &#8211; but the second half?  It negated the entire first part of the movie.  I mean, the first half you have this clown terrorizing these poor defenseless kids.  And in the second half, you have this clown terrorizing these poor defenseless adults, including John Ritter.  But wait!  It isn&#8217;t a clown at all!  It&#8217;s an alien from outer space that looks like a giant spider?  And you can kill it with an inhaler used by asthmatics everywhere?  Wait, what?</p>
<p>4.<strong> The Blair Witch Project</strong> &#8211; This movie had such promise, and it did manage to frighten some people.  (And kudos to them for using a viral campaign before anyone even knew what a viral campaign was.) But come. on. people.  The actors were good, but that&#8217;s just it:<em> they were actors</em>.  It wasn&#8217;t real!!</p>
<p>3.  <strong>Cry Wolf</strong> &#8211; This movie also had major potential!  College students involved in a great game (or at least a game with a great premise).  Students start getting picked off and there&#8217;s this great mystery and then&#8230; it falls.  Flat.  And hard.  By the time the credits started rolling, a guy two rows in front of me stood up and loudly proclaimed &#8220;I want my ten dollars back!&#8221;  That was probably the highlight of the entir night.</p>
<p>2.  <strong>Freddy Vs. Jason</strong> &#8211; Ah crossovers.  Two villains for the price of one? Hell yes!  The great thing about this movie is that by the time it came along, I think people knew that both franchises had gotten a little campy.  So the masterminds behind it tried to make it a little campy.  And they succeeded.  I don&#8217;t know if this movie was ever actually supposed to be scary.  I mean, one girl in the movie was looking into a nose job and had dreams of having her nose sliced off by Freddy. That is not scary; that is pathetic.</p>
<p>1.  <strong>Jason X </strong>- As long as we&#8217;re talking about horror movie legends gone wrong, I thought I&#8217;d include this one.  This movie is basically Jason past his prime and trying to redeem himself from his battle with Freddy.  Oh and it&#8217;s in space.  Yup, on a ship.  Set in the future.</p>
<p>So there you have it.  Five great movies that won&#8217;t make you jump out of your seat, but are definitely good for a laugh (without actually intending to).</p>
