I think it’s safe to say that every college student has had their choices challenged at some point in their young adult life — their major, in particular. After finishing required general education courses, taking electives unrelated to anything you ever found interesting, and reading testimonials from upperclassmen, you feel like you’ve got a career

Finally, the time has come. Tagalongs. Thin Mints. Samoas. Girl Scout cookies are back. But where are the Girl Scouts? I’m keeping cash in my pocket just in case I run into one of these girls—which will probably never happen unless I start lingering by elementary schools. I had this problem last year when my

Hang in there and finish your degree, college students. The statistics are in your favor. On average, college graduates make 80 percent more than those who do not attend or finish college, according to the New York Fed.

Global news is generally frustrating, unsettling and a huge disappointment for mankind. I know that statement is highly contemptuous and negative, but hear me out: It’s just the general media. Nearly all news stations are talking about wanted dangerous criminals in the very state you live in and religion-based violence in our planet’s most sacred

The statistics on college debt are grim. In 2013, 69 percent of college seniors graduated with debt, averaging $28,400 per senior, according to the Project on Student Debt. If that doesn’t make you wince, you’ve probably lost touch with reality. Many seniors will make less than that their first year out of college. College can

This week, the future of the news became a little clearer. On Tuesday, the mobile-based social media giant Snapchat announced the launch of its Discover feature. Partnering with 11 media groups including CNN, ESPN, Yahoo! News and National Geographic, Snapchat uses Discover to deliver news packages. It’s brilliant. We’ll admit it: We felt a little

Journalism is not what it once was. It’s a fact. Journalism is no longer based solely on facts and hard news. Whether it’s how we report or what we report, it has changed with time. The rise of technology has changed the way many people gather information, and journalism has had to adjust. But with
