For Students

It might be tempting to spend the next few weeks sleeping late, watching movies and staying in pajamas for days at a time, but that will make getting back into the swing of things in late August that much harder!

When you let your mind relax for too long, no matter how good it feels at first, you’ll find that the feelings of laziness and boredom will start to take over. Here are five ways to keep your mind active and fresh over the summer!

As four years go by and you move that tassel from right to left, a grad’s work is never truly done until the celebration. Whether held on campus or back at home, planning a graduation party with these helpful suggestions will make your big day stand out!

Each summer, collegians are stuck with the debate of what to do during their break.

The options are endless -- from going on vacation to getting a job to taking a summer class -- and it's a tough choice to make! Taking summer classes is a popular option, but be warned ... it's much different than taking classes during the fall or spring semesters. I talked to students to get their feedback on summer classes, and here's what they said.

It’s May, which means that school is coming to an end, graduation is around the corner and that special day to celebrate your mother is this weekend.

Even though you should honor your mother every day, Mother's Day is on May 12, so if you haven’t bought a gift yet, you are in major crunch time.

In times of need like this one, there are trusty DIY presents that your mom will surely love. The best thing about a DIY gift is that even though it isn’t bought in a store, it shows that you put extra thought into it and that it came from the heart.

Are you having doubts about your relationship? Are you feeling left out of the loop because your friends are gossiping about having a summer fling?

No relationship is perfect -- there will always be ups and downs -- but if you’re having doubts about whether you should stick with the person you’re dating, then obviously something is missing in the relationship.

Summertime is amazing because you have all the free time in the world, you are not worrying about when your next paper is due and you are just enjoying the hot summer air.

With summer, though, comes a chasm. You can change so much in a summer, especially in college. There are so many things to do and your newfound friends aren’t going to be right next to you every step of the way.

Luckily, there are many ways to keep in touch with your college friends over summer break -- no matter the distance!

It’s that time of year again when the stress of finals can seem overwhelming. Of course, studying for finals when the weather is nice and sunny out can be a challenge. The excitement of summer and catching up with friends before everyone leaves on break can definitely be a distraction. So why not be proactive and combine both?

As I'm sure you've heard many times before, getting involved on your campus is extremely important.

Involvement not only helps you find experience that you can put on a resume but can also become a great way to make friends.

But what if, on top of all that, you're also working for a greater cause? Many colleges offer service organizations that allow you to do some good and get that experience you need.
