Let’s face it, college apartments are not always decorated to the nines, and it seems like the holidays are no exception. Walk into any college student’s apartment and, usually, there you find a mish-mash of random stained furniture, strange wall art, and make-shift decorations. It’s a bit disheartening around the holidays coming from mom and dad’s […]
College is a reason to break your bank; it shouldn’t be a reason to break your back. Students around campus heave their heavy backpacks to and fro on a daily basis.

A house of four girls can quickly turn into an episode of “The Real World” if you aren’t careful with house standards. Let’s talk boyfriends. It’s not uncommon to have each girl’s boyfriend or significant other over at the house at any random time during the day. It’s even less uncommon to have a fridge full […]

You may have noticed the brightly-colored wooden cows adorning the streets of Santa Clara. A variety of activities will take place Thursday, Sept. […]
Moving out on your own is a lot of freaking work. I’ve packed my belongings and moved my life 8,187 miles away to inhabit a different country for five months in a matter of a couple days—piece of cake.
