Some of you may remember reading my study abroad HC articles a year ago today. I had been in Egypt for one month, witnessed the first half of the Revolution, escaped to Greece, and then finished my semester out and lived the summer in Jordan. During my holidays, I visited Turkey, Israel, and Palestine. Traveling, whether long- or short-term, is a glorious thing. And now, HC and Contiki can help...

We all know the definition of this word, and we’ve have suffered from this chronic illness at some point. In high school especially, we craved to graduate and move on with our lives. We’d be “adults” – away from home, making our own decisions, meeting new people, and slowly (sometimes painfully) learning the meaning of responsibility. This constant looking forward...

If you haven't already read my original blog post on being a child versus being an adult, I might suggest you read it before reading my most recent opinion on the matter.
If you have ever been in a situation where an older adult was helping you, you most likely know exactly what I will be talking about in this post. This is unfortunate, because it means that the concept of superiority will...

However, there are certain online social networking skills which are easy to master and are infinitely useful in the workplace. Whether looking for an internship or a career in the Social Media field, I’ve found these web skills to be what employers most look for....

Did you ever take a class that you became super interested in and then used nearly everything you learned in everyday life? That class for me was Primatology… yes, the study of primates, monkeys, apes, and the like. Aside from getting to hang out with Golden Lion Tamarins at the National Zoo all the time, this course provided me with endless amounts of dietary knowledge. Today, many...

My Dad has been in South Dakota for the past month. Just chillin’ and hanging with the Native Americans. You know, the usual.
No but for real, my Dad bought a trailer, hooked it up to the back of his Chevy Silverado and drove across the United States to South Dakota. He’s been living on a Native American Reserve, and helping the poorest of the poor. Did you know that indigenous...

When I wake up in the morning, I pour my Green Mountain Coffee, add a little bit of fat free Half-and-Half and one packet of Truvia, and I’m good to go! Truvia is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener made with rebiana, the best-tasting part of the stevia leaf. I know—you heard the word “sweetener” and turned to run the other way. However, I can promise you that this natural...

While searching for a job/career immediately after graduation is an option, the dismal state of the economy makes success almost impossible. Even with internship experience, jobs on the side, participation in student organizations, and volunteering the hunt can...

To savor, as Merriam-Webster explains, is to “taste (good food or drink) and enjoy it completely.” And what’s a bigger enjoyment-killer than an end of the meal check you need a payment plan to afford? Aside from a fly in your chardonnay (thank you, Alanis Morissette), nothing. However, with Savored.com, you can now save money while ...
