• Who’s Who in Your Study Group?

    Who’s Who in Your Study Group?

    I loathe group projects. I’m kind of cocky when it comes to doing school work, and when I’m put in a group I just think I should do the whole project myself. So, we know I’m the control freak of the group. I have to be in charge and tell everyone what to do, and then just do it all myself. Well what about everyone else? Who’s who in your group project?

  • How to Survive Finals Week 101

    How to Survive Finals Week 101

    The last few weeks of the semester can get a little stressful. And not because you just can’t seem to find the perfect present for everyone on your list (or in my case because you keep getting distracted by Macy’s shoe department and never get around to buying those other presents), but because of finals. Remember those? Probably not.

  • More Friends = Better Grades

    More Friends = Better Grades

    A new study out of UCLA is claiming that more friends equals better grades. While the study focuses on adolescents, I like to think the same principles can be applied to college students as well. Seriously, think about it:

    College Q&A: My Prof Won’t Help Me!

    My professor is a complete jerk. He talks way too fast in class and I’m always completely lost. I have a big exam coming up so I went to office hours and he refused to help me. He claimed I needed to figure it out for myself. I’ve been trying! I can’t bomb this test (its 30% of my grade) so I don’t know what else to do. Ideas?

  • College Q&A: I Need Friends

    College Q&A: I Need Friends

    ‘m just about to transfer to a much larger school for the spring semester, after commuting to school for two and a half years (I’m a junior now) and I’m REALLY scared about making friends. I’ve always had some difficulty with making them, since I’m pretty shy and socially awkward. Having friends isn’t impossible, but now that I’m going away to a huge school of 44,000 students, it’s a bit intimidating.

    Your Handy-Dandy Midterm Survival Guide!

    The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and you can wear cute scarves without looking like a jackass. We all know that that means… MIDTERMS! October is the best month of the year: apple cider, long weekends, and Halloween parties galore. Of course, the world is a cruel place, so amidst all the fun fall festivities, we also get crushed with the madness of midterms.

  • Duke It Out: Cheating – Round Two!

    Duke It Out: Cheating – Round Two!

    Alright, since we spent last week debating what it means to cheat in a relationship, it only seems right to figure out what the other kind of cheating means – the kind that involves teachers. Seriously, though, we’ve all read the school policies about cheating and plagarism, but at the same time, most of us have done something that we wouldn’t really want the school to know about.

  • College Friends vs. High School Bonds

    College Friends vs. High School Bonds

    I remember going to college expecting to make some of the best friends of my life. It had always seemed that way — you have nice high school friends, but gradually they fade out of the picture and your college friends dominate your life. Wasn’t that the way it was supposed to be?
