Renting your textbooks can be a hassle. The on-campus bookstore does have books in stock, however, it is a lot more expensive than if you were to find it at another source online. And sometimes, the bookstore is usually out of stock when you decide to go and get it. Waiting for your textbooks can…

Sometimes we have a tendency to overpack.   It’s really easy to look around your room and start putting things in your bag that you feel like you need for the night (but probably don’t). If you’re only staying somewhere for one night, you most likely don’t need to take more than just the essentials.…

Damages within an apartment are inevitable.   Hanging pictures, accidentally knocking something over, opening a door too quickly, or rough-housing are all ways holes are made in walls.  When it is time to move out of your apartment (no doubt you want your full security deposit back) or you don’t like looking at the hole…

Getting to and from campus is probably one of the top priorities of any prospective college student but certainly not something one should have to battle with as an aspiring young professional just embarking upon the course of life.  As such, many universities, particularly the larger sort, offer shuttle services from specific locales, primarily the…

Never mind the big, unaffordable (and unrealistic) fashions walking down the runway in New York. You’ve got better 2018 spring style at your local store for flattering prices.   What’s Hot!   Color, color, and more color, 2018 is the year where we embrace changes and differences and reflect that same positivity in our clothing.…

Valentine’s Day…those holidays that understandably make single people depressed. You don’t always have to be alone on this day, you can spend the day with family, friends, or start doing assignments that are due the week after. Being single doesn’t always have to be with just you in mind. Unless you’re an only child, then…
