6 Fun Things For a College Student |
Are you a college student with not a lot of hobbies due to school? As a college student we tend to loose a lot of hobbies because school takes up so much time. It is important to get out and have fun as a college student. Since school brings so much stress we need some type of balance to have fun. Having fun is a big part of your health. When we have fun, laugh and get some fresh air our health is much better. We want to make sure we don't keep ourselves cooped up all day, staying up late studying and not having fun. There are a lot of fun things college students can do with friend or by themselves. Need some ideas? Find out some fun things to do by reading below.
1.Start a sports team - It is important that as college students we still get some type of exercise. We are required everyday to get at least 30 minutes of extreme exercise. Starting a sports team not only fulfills our daily exercise needs but it is a good time to have fun with friends. Play a few times a week and find yourself having less stress and having more fun!
2.Explore - Whether you're away at college or go to a community college explore your surroundings. Get some friends together and go to a restaurant you've never been to or a shopping place that has just gone up. Go up town and take a walk a few times a week. Getting fresh air and exploring your surroundings is a great way to get out of the house. Make this something you and your friends do a couple times a week or month.
3.Movies - Get together with some friends once a week and have a movie night. This is a very inexpensive way to have fun. You can rent a movie for just around $5 and have fun with your friends. This will keep you up to date with your movies and help keep your stress free by having fun.
4.Café - Get a few friends together once a week and just go to your local café. This will help you get everything off your mind that you want to and help you keep in touch with your close friends.
5.Board games - Have some friends over and play some board games once a week. Whether you play Twister, Pictionary or Monopoly it is also a guaranteed fun, and inexpensive night.
6.Family - Not only is it important to spend time with friends it is important to spend time with your family. College is a very busy time in a young adult's life but it is important to still make time for family. Family is very important and something everyone needs.
College can be very hectic but it is important to still have fun as a college student. We all want to have good grades and to get them it is important to study hard. Just make sure they you don't overdue yourself and take more classes than you can handle. Keep it to a comfortable amount and still make time to have fun with your friends and family.

Ideas for perfect Status in College |
Ways To Kicked Get Out Of Classroom
1. Have a friend continuously call you on your cell phone and refuse to put it in silent mode. Say there might be an emergency, and you always miss your calls when the cell phone is silent. Alternatively, you could choose to answer one of the calls and pretend to be a valley girl.
2. Spontaneously scream out non-sense words and if anyone asks if you have Tourette’s, say no.
3. Every five minutes, interrupt the professor and ask him a question that he just finished answering in his lecture.
4. Start talking to you imaginary friend, Jimbo. If no one pays any attention to you, get into a loud argument with your new friend.
Jump for the best three.
5. Sit in the first row, but instead of paying attention to what the lecturer is saying open up a full page of your favorite newspaper and start reading.
6. Bring in a Nintendo Gameboy or Playstation Pocket and start cracking through the levels of
your favorite game. Do not bother turning off the sound as that would distract your game play.
7. Bring a friend and start making out.

The Only Ways to Save Money on Textbooks!!!
Way 1 : Amazon.com
Amazon is not only a character in Diablo II. It is the biggest online retail store in the world–for good reason. They offer some of the best savings you could conjure up with your fake magical powers. Just by typing in amazon.com into your Firefox window (you don’t use Internet Explorer, right?), you are saving about $30 per book.
It is not just about going to Amazon, however. You need to learn to play the game. Amazon is know for having spontaneous deals so look out for them under the product description. Today, Amazon was giving out free three-month memberships to Amazon Prime, their subscription service that gives you free two-day shipping on practically any item, if you bought over $100 worth of textbooks. Also, you can always get the free “Super Saver” shipping if you spend more than $25, but that can take up to ten days.
Way 2 : Buy Used
Buying used books is a great way to save some cash and save the earth at the same time. Usually, it is better to buy used books in an actual store as opposed to online since you can see what kind of damage, if any, has been done. Buying used books online can sometimes be a gable, but if you buy from a trusted retailer or check out a user’s feedback ratings on a place like Half.com, you can save a big headache later. Buying online however will most likely save you some cash.
Way 3: Use your connections
Connections are not just for when you want to get a job. You should be using the people you know for just about everything. Why not just buy books off friends or colleagues and save both of you the fees incurred by selling through third parties?
Way 4 : Steal them
With textbooks so expensive, you can just try illegally downloading them. I guess you can try to steal them from a store as well but that is definitely illegal and we are not publicly condoning that. I hear people download a program with BitTorrent and go to sites like The Pirate Bay, Demonoid, or Mininova to download illegal copies of textbooks. We can neither confirm nor deny this but strongly suggest you “investigate” for yourself.
Bonus: Getting Some money Back
Sell your books to get some of the money you spent on them back. If you bought your books online, you may even get back more money than you paid for them. Also try selling books to friends at a value that they are worth. Check online fore current prices and let your friend know that he or she will not need to pay for shipping. Just stay clear of the campus bookstores on this one as they will give you barely nothing for your books. They are trying to make huge profits after all.

Student's life is awesome!!
Thsese initial years make a difference in life..
15 Tips on Conquering Your College Freshman Fears
(Being Nervous about College Actually Means You're Already Doing Everything Right)
Being nervous about starting college is probably the most normal thing you can do. Your apprehension is a sign that you are already interested in doing well. Additionally, rest assured that most of your fears will probably go away after your first week and that, even if they don't, there's always something you can do to change things.
Common College Freshman Fear:
1. The admissions office let me in by accident.
Not true. And even if they did, they'd have told you by now.
2. My roommate will be awful.
This is, of course, a possibility, but very unlikely; the vast majority of college students get along really well with their roommates. There are things you can do to start off strongly with a new roommate, and ways to handle problems if they arise. (Additionally, there are some important steps to take when first contacting your new roommate.)
3. I don't know anyone there, and I'll have problems meeting new people and making friends.
One important thing to remember is that almost everyone there is new, and virtually no one knows anyone else. Even the friendliest first-year college students know a small handful of folks, at most, before arriving on campus. Since everyone is looking to meet other people (especially during Orientation and your first week), take a deep breath and introduce yourself. And just in case that doesn't work, there are lots of other ways to meet new people on campus.
4. I won't be able to cut it academically.
Your college experience will likely be much harder, academically, than your high school. Your homework load will increase. Your assignments will be more heavily weighted and you'll have less "filler" homework assignments that are easy points.
None of these facts means, however, that you will not do well. It is pretty common for a student's GPA to drop quite a bit from high school to college, but that doesn't mean you aren't doing well. It means you are taking more challenging classes in a college environment. Additionally, if you need help, there are resources on campus you can tap into.
5. I'm really going to be homesick for my friends/family/boyfriend/girlfriend back home.
This is probably true. You will miss all kinds of people back at home; even if you're not going away to school, you'll probably end up missing the time you used to have to spend with friends, family, and loved ones. Managing a long-distance relationship can be hard, but it doesn't have to mean you can't stay. You can miss someone and still make it in college. There are also easy ways to keep in touch with your family, and even though things will change when you get home, your friends and family will still be the crazy, lovable people who are proud of you and your work at school.
6. I'm concerned about my finances.
This is a very legitimate concern. College is expensive; your funds will be tight; you may be borrowing money to make ends meet. Knowing how to manage your money is one of the best things you can do. Additionally, being aware of the specifics of your financial aid package and getting a good on-campus job are smart ways to be proactive about your finances.
7. I don't know how I'll balance so many things.
Time management is one of the biggest challenges for college students. By learning some important time management skills, however, you can stay on top of your game and learn how to handle a very demanding schedule while still having fun.
8. I'm nervous about being on my own for the first time.
Good! You should be nervous; being on your own, especially for the first time, is hard. But something inside of you knows you are ready or you wouldn't have wanted to go to college in the first place. Sure, you'll make mistakes along the way, but you're ready to head off on your own. And if not, there are plenty of people and support mechanisms on a college campus to help you out.
9. I don't know how to do basic things, like doing my own laundry or cooking for myself.
While managing things like this is a common fear, there is also an easy fix. Before leaving for school, have someone teach you how to do laundry. If you're already at school, learn by watching someone. If you don't know how to cook, try watching some cooking shows or cooking with some friends. In no time at all, you'll be a laundry-washing, dinner-cooking college pro.
10. My health is really important to me, and I'm worried about gaining weight and the
"freshman fifteen."
Being healthy -- and staying healthy -- in college is really important. And most incoming students have heard of the dreaded fifteen pounds that every incoming first-year student (supposedly) gains when they start school. With a few small but simple choices, staying healthy and avoiding the freshman fifteen is actually a lot easier than one would think on a college campus.
11. I'm intimidated by professors but know I may need to go to them for help.
In addition to being incredibly smart and, yes, even intimidating at times, most college professors are actually really nice and approachable. There are many easy, low-key ways to get to know your professors without coming off too aggressively.
12. I'm worried about being disconnected from my religious life, practice, and community.
Being away at school doesn't have to mean being disconnected from your religious life. In fact, there are multiple ways to keep your religious life and college life integrated while in school.
13. I'm worried about my safety now that I'm on my own.
While your safety should always be on your mind, there are some ways you can be proactive about your safety in college.
14. I don't think I can handle all of the stress.
College is a very stressful place, but being in a stressful situation and being stressed are very different things. Managing college stress takes some practice, but is definitely manageable.
15. I have no idea what I want to do after college.
This is a really common fear for incoming students. While you should still know how to pick your classes and eventually how to choose a major, you'll have more time to explore your interests and be open to new ideas and career choices.
