Smarter Kids, Smarter Parents, Smarter College Days!
Welcome To College Knowledge!
* Campus music or dance recitals
* College theater productions
* Guest speakers
* Poetry readings
* Museum tours
* Sports-either participate or go route for your school
* Film and video showings
* Art openings
* Clubs on campus
If you are looking to stray away from campus here are some off campus fun frugal ideas:
* Go watch a local band, they usually play at bars but the cover is usually $5-$10 to sit and enjoy and be in a sociable setting
* Go to the movies, catch the matinee film during the day when prices are less expensive
* Explore natural parks or recreation facilities where you can work out or simply enjoy the surrounding
* If you have a pool in your apartment complex or have friends that do, gather round and soak up the rays and have some fun.
* If you are in cold climates, go sledding in the wintertime, it's an activity that you're never too old for.
* Find a new hobby
Of course those are all inexpensive ways to have fun but if you like the social gatherings of being around your friends which means going out to eat, going to new clubs, and so forth, here are a view tips to save on some cash.
* If going out to eat with friends, snack on something before hand so your meal wont be as expensive because you wont be as hungry. Stay away from drinks and desserts because prices will be jacked up.
* Go to bars or clubs where the cover is free. If of age, limit yourself on drinks, and find out about the specials.
* Swap clothes with friends instead of shopping for new ones that you may only where once depending on the occasion.
* Choose to be the designated driver so wont be spending money on drinks and know everyone will get home safely.
* Don't go out every night of the week. Remember you do still have class to attend to. So if planning to go out, choose one night to go out and make the other a low key night such as making it a blockbuster night or picking up where you left off in the book you were reading.
College is about having fun but also getting an education so don't let the fun experiences get the best of you and forget why you are where you are. If you get an A then it's a for sure reason to go out and have some fun. Set goals for yourself and once you achieve them, give yourself credit!

College Tuition Costs are Spiralling
These are just some of the questions that concerned parents and aspiring students are asking themselves nowadays. It's hardly surprising when you look at the facts - a 51% increase in fee and tuition costs for public four year colleges and a 36% rise for private four year colleges in the last decade alone. This, coupled with the disproportionate income increases for families likely to have college age children, means that more and more often parents or students themselves are turning to direct loans or private college loans for help.
The College-Bound Students Early Bird Menu
Early Admission: Typically, the student applies to college at the beginning of the junior year and simply goes through the process earlier. However, Early Admission is seldom used as it only applies to the most exceptional students who complete all high school requirements prior to the 12th grade, or even earlier. Although it is not binding, I strongly recommend that the student demonstrate a college level of social and emotional maturity before implementing this strategy. Schools often get into a bidding contest to recruit the truly exceptional student, some offering full scholarships for the privilege of having such an accomplished student on their campus! Nonetheless, use with extreme caution!
Self-Injury on College Campuses
The biggest misconception is that self-injury is an attempt to commit suicide. The person in question may feel so bad that he has had suicidal thoughts, but generally the two are unrelated. In most cases, the act of self-injury is an attempt to cope with those intense feelings, not die.

How To Improve Your Study Habits and Remember Better
If you're like most students, you put off studying until the very last minute. The night before the exam, you'll stay up all night cramming, getting little or no sleep. In the morning, you'll drag yourself out of bed, psych yourself up with lots of coffee and some cigarettes, and go into the exam feeling exhausted, drained and jittery all at the same time. You'll find it hard to focus or think, and you'll be cursing yourself for not starting to study sooner.
Why Study the Flows of Civilization?
There is no reason we cannot fix the flows, refine the system and give this greatest gift ever to the rest of the world. Every one wins. There is also no reason why it cannot work. Such a set of systems and methods, franchise so to speak, will unite the world and set us on course for another 200 years of prosperity. There is no reason that in 1000 years we cannot look back and say that in this period we launched the human race on a course that changed the world. There is no reason not to start today and complete this project and set the course within our lifetime. Therefore without a reason not to complete this project it would behoove this species to get busy and get it done. This in depth study will give 10 or more pages (chapters) to each of the flows listed above. Where we have done well, where we could improve and observations of the absurdity of political correctness. For us to fix the World, we in the US must lead by example, fix America and simultaneously admit our own mistakes and use that knowledge to fix the world. Our goal is to fix the World, but unfortunately there are so many barriers and restrictions to doing so or assisting in the process that we must first fix the flows first and then let the flows help us as we fix the world. You cannot fix the world or convince others to join your cause if they are hateful, starving, suffering, at war, caught up in religious fanaticism or un yielding in their current point profiting in the obstruction of flow.
Hidden College Costs: Roommate Conflict
"Students who can't handle conflict run into trouble with roommates almost immediately," said Susan Fee who is the author of My Roommate is Driving Me Crazy! Solve Conflicts, Set Boundaries, and Survive the College Roommate From Hell (Adams Media, 2005). "They avoid the issue rather than deal it, causing increased stress, lower grades, and additional moving and housing expenses," said Fee, who is a licensed professional counselor. She said students who focus only on academic success do so at the expense of other life skills.
