If you are hungover and feeling it, here’s some tips to get you feeling better in no time. Feeling that hangover the morning after St. Patrick s Day? Photo: Aerodesign. Pl on Flickr 1. Drink lots of water. Since alcohol is dehydrating, drinking lots of water will replenish your liquids and help you get the alcohol out of your system faster. Drinking water is the key to recovering from your hangover. Even if you’re not thirsty, drink water! It will be less of shock to the system if the water is room temperature. 2.

Tips for College Group Projects Written on March 24, 2011 by SherRon Marcek Since you’ll often be working with others in the real world, college professors like to assign projects in groups. This gives you a chance to put several heads together, learn from each other, and learn how to work well together. These can be some of the hardest projects for those who prefer to work independently. If that is you, here are our tips for getting through the projects and maintaining your GPA. Photo by Kennedy Library on Flickr 1. Make assignments early. If everyone knows what they are expected to bring to the table upfront it will be easier to organize things in the end.

Photo: LOL Zombie When you’re at college, sometimes it’s hard to give a damn about your classes, your assignments, your test results, or even your future. It’s common for college kids to just stop caring at school. If you’re in a slump at school where you just don’t give a damn, here’s some suggestions of how you can care about college again. 1. You are paying for your education. Money you’ll be paying back for the next decade with your student loans. Make it worthwhile. 2. You could lose your scholarship. If you scored a college scholarship, keep in mind that poor grades can cause you to lose your scholarship. And then point #1 will become your problem, too. 3. If you drop out, you’ll have to move home with your mom. Who will screen your dates, wait up for you at night, and make you clean the bathroom. 4. Drinking is not a

Fill your roommate’s car with packing peanuts. 4. Cover your roommate’s door with saran wrap after they go to sleep. 5. Change your roommate’s digital clock back four hours and set their alarm. Instead of waking up at 6am, they’ll be waking up and getting ready at 2am for work/school. (To get the full effect of the prank, make sure you’re awake to see them scrambling out the door. That way you can stop them from leaving. ) 6. Put really stro

Photo: majdal So you’re about to start a study session and you need some tunes to keep you going. What do you turn to? Here’s some suggestions of the best music to study to. 1. Classical music. Studies have shown that classical music, particularly baroque music (think Mozart or Bach), activates both sides of the brain, increasing the listener’s learning capacity and the retention of information. Baroque music causes the heart rate slows down for improve concentration. 2. Music in another language. If you’re like me and get distracted by the lyrics in music when you’re trying to write, opt for music in another language instead. 3. Jazz. If you hate classical music, jazz is another alternative. And Michael Buble and Norah Jones fall under that category. 4. Music without repetition. Says Dr. Ballam in a p
