It’s safe to say that for most of us at Pomona, studying abroad is part of our college plan. But even with a study abroad plan in the works (or behind you), when Spring begins to peak through the clouds, the travel itch starts, and dreaming about an epic Euro-trip or an Australian adventure becomes a daily distraction when struggling through our oh-so-boring lectures. But planning a trip abroad can be scary, time consuming, and let's not forget--super expensive. Lucky for us, Her Campus has partnered with Contiki, the #1 travel company for young people, offering over 200 guided tours and pre-planned trips in 40+ countries, exclusively for 18-35-year-olds—all for amazingly low prices!...

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?

Songs to Get You Through Finals Week

                Work hard, play hard. It’s that time of the year again when the weather is absolutely beautiful, but you also have a bajillion final projects, papers, and exams. But there’s no reason you can’t have the best of both worlds. These songs are helping me get through all the work, but also pumping me up for all the gallivanting in the sun to come. Work hard, play hard. Work hard, play hard. Keep that in mind, listen to these songs, and you will get through these next couple of weeks. READ MORE

Mmmm Fantastiche!

When Becky Karpovsky (SC ’11) realized she had seen a lot of burlesque and was completely enamored with the performative aesthetic, she thought, why not?
