College Happenings

College is an amazing time. Not only because of the learning, the expansion of the mind, or the coming into ones own…but also because of all the hot girls and the crazy shit they’re willing to do ( and I don’t JUST mean sexually).

One thing you should know, however, is that ALL OF THAT will change as soon as college is over. College is a time of experimentation, and for sewing of wild oats. For most ladies, as soon as college is over, it’s time to get serious. Some will forget about all of the wild things they did – others will get offended if you even suggest they did anything out of the ordinary…even if you have pictures, video, and police reports.

So, with that in mind, I want to let you know of some things that you’re college girlfriend will be willing to do that your wife won’t…even if they’re the same person.

Sick of eating mac and cheese, ramen noodles or what have you? We know students often eat poorly either due to lack of time or lack of funds. Also, many of us while in college spend a lot of our time eating alone, or if with others, then take out or cafeteria food. Even if you live off-campus and cook for yourself, single people know how often food spoils. Meals during college are hardly like eating mom’s home cooking.

Well, if you live somewhere where there’s a fridge, stove and a set of pots and pans, there’s a solution for some of you, if you’re willing to put in a bit of effort: continue reading…

Clearly, date rape is wrong, people shouldn’t do it. But, counting on other people’s sense of right and wrong isn’t going to keep you safe. Making smart choices will.

Alcohol is often a factor. If you’re going to drink, make choices that will protect you. Don’t get outrageously drunk around strangers or acquaintances and let your control slip. Friends of friends are exactly that – not your friends. Stick with your trusted group. Don’t ride or wander off alone with people you don’t know you can trust.

1. Maintain control in public spaces.

College Ramen, cheap, fast and easy, fairly palatable – at first – with a few additions, but perhaps it’s not the best nutritional choice for a steady diet. It’s high in sodium and often has a lot of MSG. Fortunately, there are lots of other simple and affordable options.

Rice and Beans:
Chop an onion, a little garlic, some olives, favorite spices, sauté in oil for a few minutes in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Add two cups rice, a 16-ounce can of cooked beans, drained and rinsed, or the equivalent amount of cooked dry beans, sauté a few minutes. Add 3 cups of water and bring to boil. Cover tightly, reduce heat, cook 35 to 40 minutes. Inexpensive, taste and reheats perfectly in the microwave. Fry up a couple plantains (banana family), heat up some spinach or other deep green vegetables and you have a cheap, well-balanced meal. continue reading…

We’ve probably all had the experience of a professor with a distinct political outlook or other strong opinions and beliefs. And, while your work is supposed to be judged on its merit, in terms of displaying a mastery of methods, materials and concepts, the fact is that that’s not always the case. Sometimes a dilemma presents itself – write with integrity, according to your understanding and beliefs, or write for the grade, slanting your paper or essay towards the position the professor is most likely to be supportive of.

While in high school, homework was almost always collected, often in college, the day-to-day assignments are not, making it very tempting to just let it slide, and focus on the stuff you’ve got to turn in or the work that is most important to the overall grade.
