The Scam With Textbook Prices
“Here go all of my summer savings,” I thought as I swiped my credit card to pay for my required textbooks. According to a recent USA Today study, textbook prices have increased more than 82 percent in the past decade.
On Campus Living vs. Off Campus Living
Many college students cooped up in dorm rooms are ready to escape to luxurious off campus living, and some of upperclassman living off campus are just wishing they could go back to their freshman dorm that they once called home.
Is Vlogging The New Reality Television?
While taking a study break this week, I logged on to YouTube to listen to some music. As I scrolled through my subscriptions on my main page, I found myself watching the channel “Watch Us Live and Stuff.” The channel stars Anthony Padilla, better known as Anthony from the popular YouTube channel Smosh, and his fiancée Kalel.
The Hype Over All Things Healthy
The organic food craze has undoubtedly swept the nation in recent years and its popularity is only growing.

Advertising is the main way for online sites and companies to gain most of their income if they are not a business with a tangible product.

Jobs Can Wait, Your Youth Can’t
Four years ago, I was graduating from high school, bringing 13 years of education to a monumental close. I headed to MU the following fall to begin my education as an undergrad.

Don’t get me wrong, I still expect those things to happen, but who says they have to happen the day after graduation?
