Transferring and Winter Breaks

So, I started my college career at West Virginia University in the fall of 2006. During the middle of my sophomore year (January 2007), I transferred home to the University of Delaware to help save my family some money. Anyway, the NY Times just posted this really informative article on transferring and what students are doing during their Winter Break. I thought you might enjoy it =)

Want a pet in college?

Having a pet in college is a huge commitment. I know. I have a beagle. The biggest surprise for me, after getting him, was the expense. Granted, he had an eye infection when he was a puppy and got a cold, so those were unplanned vet visits, but it's still a huge expense. All of the shots, neutering, and routine puppy visits can get costly. You also have to think about how often you're home, and if your roommate(s) are going to be willing to help you out with (at the very least) watching your pet.

Here's an article and some tips to help you make this big decision.

Pet spay/neuter info & general info

Questions to ask yourself before getting a pet -

1. Can you afford a pet?

2. Do you have the time for a pet?

3. Do you have enough space for a pet?

4. Is your living situation conducive to having a pet?

5. Does your landlord allow pets?

6. Are your roommates as happy about the pet as you are?

7. What's going to happen to the pet after you graduate college?

College Anthems

So, music consumes a big part of my life. I listen while I do homework, while I write papers, while I'm driving, while I walk from one class to another. Every where I turn, there's music. And, I feel like all college students can attest to having listened to some everlasting college anthems. These are the songs everyone knows the words to. At a party. In a bar. Wherever. Here's what I came up with.

1. Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard

2. Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

3. Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi

4. Baby Got Back - Sir Mix A Lot

5. (I've Got) Friends In Low Places - Garth Brooks

6. More Than A Feeling - Boston

7. Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield

8. Jack and Diane - John Cougar Mellencamp

9. Blister In The Sun - Violent Femmes

10. Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

Okay, thinkgeek created this energy drink. It has the same consistency and nutritional value as real blood. You're also supposed to heat it up so it's also the same temperature as blood. I bought it. Stay tuned to The Review next week to find out how it went. =)
