Good news for stress cases: according to a new study by researchers from the University of Southern California, stress and anxiety doesn’t just force you to resort to bad habits, but can in fact lead people to fall back on good habits as well. In a study published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, USC ...
I’ve recently read a number of articles, both on HackCollege and elsewhere, on the subject of skipping class. Some have attempted to determine when or how it is acceptable to skip, while others have attempted to determine the cost of skipping. I thought the idea of applying some basic economic tools and ideas to the ...
Time spent in college has long been chided as an excuse for hedonism and immaturity, but a new report is suggesting that this doesn’t come without a few regrets.

This Valentine’s day, you’re in a relationship. No, not with the person you made out with last night in exchange for breadsticks, you breadstick-loving weirdo. You’re in a relationship with yourself.

College can seem like a great opportunity to pick up a job on the side: there are plenty of options, and all your employers offer half-time because they understand that you’re juggling a full course load.
