	My Life is GrUV: How to Effectively Use a Cheat Sheet By Ellen Reinhardt April 27, 2013 - 9:15am Other than the words “cancelled” or “take-home,” students always rejoice when they hear “cheat sheet” thrown into the mix when finals are fast approaching. The name “cheat sheet” can be a bit misleading considering it’s essentially a page or index card of handwritten/typed notes you are allowed to use. This beautiful gift your professor has given you will not only help you study, but will also relieve some of the stress (only if you use it wisely). It can act as a safety net, which will help you focus on understanding the material instead of wasting energy memorizing a bunch of equations and dates. Here are some tips for creating the perfect cheat sheet so when the day comes, you won’t break a sweat filling out those bubbles....

	Kiss & Tell: Relationship Profiles By Sydney Kaplan April 12, 2013 - 7:15pm I sat down and talked to four different ladies in four completely different types of relationships. Just by reading their stories, you can get a feel for the different styles of relationships out there, as well as what you might identify with.

	The Beauty Closet: Mint and Lilac Fashions For Spring By Rachel Polansky April 7, 2013 - 9:22pm It’s 45 degrees in Burlington, and that can only mean one thing—spring has sprung! The warmer temps and sun shining means it’s finally time to put away those puffy North Face Coats and Sorel boots.

If you think the beginning of April isn’t actually that warm, you’re right, it’s only about 45 degrees. However, after months and months of freezing cold, it almost feels like summer. As the sun melts the rest of the snow, and the ground finally thaws, UVM students come out to play. On central campus, you’ll see a group of students reviving their slack-lining skills between two large trees. Slack-lining has a huge following at UVM: students tie a wide, thick rope between trees and then attempt to use their balance to walk across it. READ MORE

	My Life is GrUV: Life After Study Abroad By Erin White March 28, 2013 - 4:38pm Several years ago, I read a book about a woman who traveled to England to complete her master's degree, and decided I wanted to study abroad when I went to college. With that goal in mind, I spent my first year and a half at UVM figuring out how I was going to do it. I met with professors and the study abroad office, consulted my parents, looked at program websites, and knew where I wanted to go before I started my sophomore year. I sent in my application at the earliest possible moment and knew toward the end of January 2012 that I would be spending the fall semester of my junior year in St Andrews, Scotland. READ MORE
