Now, being the quintessential college student in that I average maybe 4-6 good hours of sleep a night, I decided that perhaps I should work on that seeing as I’ll have to adult sooner or later. Hence, I downloaded Sleep Cycle:

By: Judy Lee ‘17
1. There for the music: This person is the typical festival-goer. They have a little piece of paper (or a note on their phone) with their own personalized schedule for each day they’re attending. They’ve been to many-a-music-festival and are always fun to chat with. Whether they are fanatics or down-to-earth, they make the festival not just an enjoyable, but an educational experience…

6 Coupon Sites For The Starving College Student
By: Judy Lee ‘17
We’ve all been there–top ramen and water. If not, are you even in college good for you! However, it’d be nice to save more here and there when budgeting becomes a burden. Personally, I get the drawbacks of that: cutting stuff out of the ads that get shoved into your mailbox just feels a little stodgy, and it becomes too much of a process.

Just Annoying Professor Things
By: Judy Lee ‘17
I’m going to preface this by saying that I appreciate the work that all my professors (adjunct and TAs included) have done to enhance my educational experience. The following are just minor pet peeves against a grand scale of mental and emotional transformation I have gained from receiving an education at one of the best universities in the nation.
