Self-Improvement

As I’m writing this article after a 14-hour homework binge, I’m open to share my sincere and carefully constructed rules on combating senioritis.

When you live in a community primarily populated by students, it’s easy for your monetary priorities to get out of whack. Why would we think about saving for our future when Chipotle consistently calls our name?

If you haven’t picked up on it yet, I’m a huge fan of smoothies. They’re always filling, can substitute for a meal or dessert and can be made in basically any combination.

You made it through the week. Whether you went out and partied your heart away, or stayed in to study for the hell week that awaits you, everyone needs a relaxing Sunday.

Now that the career fair craziness is long over, some lucky people may have landed the all-important interview. Standing out from the other applicants can be tough, but you can send a lasting impression that will leave employers with a tangible reminder of how awesome you are.

Penn State is the best school in the world, and State College is an awesome town, but there really is no place like home. Unless you’re a townie, you might get home once a semester with the exception of breaks.

Looking for a pick-me-up salad after a hard workout? It’s vegetarian, packed with protein and so delicious. It is also a great way to revamp some foods you may have laying around the kitchen.

Now that everyone is settled back into Penn State life (or at least fully acclimated to it), some less than awesome habits have been creeping up. For those of us who weren’t able to snag a private bathroom, sharing is caring.
