Now that you’ve been accepted to college, have you thought about where you will live at school? Before you start picking out your bedroom sheets and matching towels, think about the numerous choices of college living.
1. Find out if the college has a requirement for first year students to live on campus. If not then [...]
With this economy everyone seems to be scaling down their spending and looking for deals. Personally, I am on a tight budget but would love to get away to the Caribbean for a long weekend. I am a sucker for warm weather.
In this economy finding money for college is getting harder and harder. Here is some information that might help.
When I attended college in Michigan, our tuition increases were directly correlated to the economic status of our state.
Our governor was implementing policies that created a surge of income for the government, but years later it would create a worse economic situation. For example, trailer license plates changed from being a yearly renewal to a permanent plate. The income from that decision was substantial, being that the new price was ten times the renewal price, but the next year there would be no income for those trailer renewals.
There is some pretty phenominal fodder going around the Internet.
Here are some of my favorites:

Whenever I see a celebrity promoting politics, I think to myself, “Why should I listen to this person? Because they made a movie once about dying on the Titanic?”. Disclaimer, I don’t mean to mock Leonardo Dicaprio, but I think you get my point. Just because they are a celebrity does not mean they know better than anyone else. It is all about raising awareness, which I can support.
Recently I saw an article from TIME that discussed the top 10 banned books.
I was surprised to see Huckleberry Fin on this list. But then again, I was surprised to see any book on this list. The whole idea of banning books makes me think of fascism.
Everytime I look at most of my textbooks left over from college, I think one of two things: Man, that is going to make a future bookshelf in my mansion look pretty flippin sweet! And the other is, each of those books could have bought enough beer to last an entire weekend back in college. If you have ever been in college or watched Animal House, you know how important that is.
I am willing to bet that as you read this, a cell phone is within ten yards of where you are. My cell phone is five feet to my left on the island in my kitchen.
My point is, the Internet is not the only option to find information on college programs that are available to you. If you are sick of fruitless searches on the Internet, let me show you another option that will not take much of your time and costs as much as searching the Internet (aka FREE).
A few weeks ago I was sitting with my younger cousins about to take the first portion of their semester exams. The eldest of them was stressing the importance of the exam results, and the fact that they were unprepared, frantically – so much so that it was stressing out the others whom I was visiting that day. It still boggles my mind as to how people don’t understand how everyone retains knowledge – aren’t they teaching these things in high school these days?
