The right and easy way to sell textbooks

Here’s a list of things you should think about when you sell textbooks to make sure you get the best value:

Inexpensive Dating Ideas for College Students
Dating. There really isn’t much that we sink as much time, effort, and cash into like dating. It is not uncommon for a doe-eyed rube to chance upon a prospective paramour with the best intentions in his or her heart only to find that, hey, this shit’s expensive. So, how does one deftly circumvent one of the biggest pitfalls in the wild world of competitive companionship, you ask?
Well, we have some tips that just might keep the cash in your wallet and your head in the game:

Having a Car in College: Is it Worthwhile?
In one word: no
Most college students see their first foray into the real world as a long-awaited bid for freedom. And this is exactly what the image of a car promotes: the freedom to go wherever you want whenever you want to.

With all the attendant costs and responsibilities associated with vehicle ownership, you may soon be cursing the day you decided to bring your car to college with you.
So if you’re on the fence about whether or not to buy or retain a vehicle as you pursue your academic degree, here are just a few reasons you might want to say no to the auto:
Don’t Let Yourself Go: A Guide to Fitness in College
Your college years will likely be some of the best in your life. Between getting away from your parents for the first time in your life (finally having the space to figure out who you really are), expanding your mind, preparing for your professional future, and meeting new people who could potentially become lifelong friends, business partners, or soul-mates, you have a lot of doors opening to you.
But while you’re busy taking advantage of the many social and academic opportunities before you, it’s all too easy to neglect your health, especially if you’re spread thin between studying and partying (as are most students). And if you have a job on top of everything else, forget about it! In short, the freshman fifteen of fable can quickly become a reality (and then some) if you fall off the proverbial wagon with your diet and exercise routine.
So what’s a busy college student to do? Simple: make diet and exercise one of your many priorities. Click to continue reading…
