The 13 Most Useless Majors And Why They Don’t Matter
I used to be a college tour guide, in which I told prospective students that they could choose from over 150 different majors at my school. Apparently, 13 or so of them are completely useless -- including mine. How about yours? Is your entire collegiate career a sham of actual productivity?
Would You Wear These “Slutty” Prom Dresses?
Ah, kids these days. Apparently, high schools across the country are setting strict dress codes for dances because girls are choosing dresses that are too "sexy." Naturally, we had to do some investigation into this subject. We combed the internet, looking at the most risque prom dresses out there. After careful analysis, we've come to a conclusion. These dresses aren't sexy. They're just ugly.

Best of #WorstSubjectInSchool [Twitter Trends]

Thoughts On Lectures
Here at the University of Alabama, I've been really fortunate with my class experiences. I graduated with a class of 102 students, so coming to a large SEC school was definitely culture shock. My first class had 300 students in it, and I felt like a number.

5 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started College
Since it's that time of year, the time for choosing colleges (and for some, leaving college) Jezebel has decided to depart some wisdom on all the high school senior hopefuls out here, asking them to really think about what they want out of there college experience, about why they're choosing the schools they're choosing, and the effects those choices will have on their college careers.
Tuffy Luv Ranks Schoolz
Dear Tuffy Luv, I'm pretty sure you already answered a question like mine but I couldn't find the answer, so here goes. I'm a high school senior applying to college and I'm having a bit of a problem with my safety school. It's brilliant: great nightlife, safe area, amazing dorms and has a course that I love. One bad thing though: it's my hometown.
Duke It Out: Social Media Blackout
Schools all over have been experimenting with social media lately - some of them getting into it and some of them encouraging their students to stay out of it. Now Harrisburg University of Science and Tech are blocking all social media from the school's network including Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and AIM for a week. They're not the first school to try a move like this, but my question is, is it right?

College: a time of growing up, trying new things, and, of course, meeting new people. From the bitchy girl in Chem class to the hot guy from a frat party, freshman year brings a slew of different characters. While no two people share quite the same college experience, there are a few archetypal personalities that, without a doubt, can be found on a freshman floor.
Body Blog: Coffee – Yay or Nay?
As we all head back into our routine of late night partying studying, coffee seems to be the obvious pick-me-up to get us out of bed and into life come morning time. You know a venti glass of water isn't going to give you the necessary push to get you through that 8am lecture.
The 11 Things You Do In Your 20′s That You’ll Regret When You’re 40
Let’s face it: we all make stupid decisions. Like choosing a fifth over a review session, or bringing that guy home…who stole our iPod in the morning. That’s part of college life... and a big part of what makes it so memorable. But there are some choices that have longer lasting repercussions; things we do now that will haunt us later.
Tuffy Luv Talks Class
Dear Tuffy Luv, I recently broke up with my boyfriend of one and a half years, and I've been beating myself up ever since. The first half of our relationship was blissful - we were like best friends, had tons of fun together and he treated me like a queen. But about halfway through our relationship, I began to think about my long-term desires, and realized I was unhappy.
College Q&A: Should I End My LDR?
I started going out with a guy right before I left for college. I really like him, but he goes to school in a different state and I feel like I’m missing out on a lot with my friends when I’m on the phone with him every night. He totally trusts me so it’s not like he’s annoying or anything, but this whole LDR thing is really taking up a lot of time. What do you guys think of long distance in college? Good idea or bad?

Duke It Out: Longer School Years?
There's been some debate recently about increasing the number of days public school kids have to spend in class, and while you may be thinking "man, I'm glad I'm not in high school anymore," think again. Colleges, especially public ones, generally follow the patterns set up by lower levels of schooling, which means that if they cut back on summer, you could kiss it goodbye too.
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.
The College Girl’s Guide to Football Saturday

Your Back-to-School To-Do List
