It’s 11:30 p.m. You’re about to call it a night when panic sets in — you forgot about an assignment due in 30 minutes. You grab your phone, open your class portal, and see the worst: it’s for English. Four pages, MLA format, works cited. You haven’t done a single minute of research. A late submission means an automatic zero. Then you remember your friends talking about artificial intelligence. Desperate, you open ChatGPT and type: “Write me a research paper on any topic of yo

Who doesn't love to gossip? The college app “FIZZ” is all about starting conversations and spreading information, but how long do we have until this app fizzes out?  Founded in 2020 by Teddy Solomon and Ashton Cofer, Fizz is a social media network that is only accessible to college students.

Though the photo on my LinkedIn page is a selfie from my freshman year of college in my first dorm room, I am now a rising senior. As I approach my final two semesters of my undergraduate studies, I look back on my experience and I wish I had done several things differently. All of my experiences have taught me something about myself, but if I had the opportunity to re-do my undergraduate years then I definitely would.

Internships are often seen as gateways to opportunity. There are chances to gain experience, build connections, and get a foot in the door, but for many young people, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, internships can also highlight just how exclusive some professional spaces still are. As some organizations are still upholding their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts amidst the current presidential administration, it’s important to look

I know from personal experience how hard school can be as a student with ADHD. I would forget assignments, do things at the last minute, and have a hard time focusing in class. It wasn’t easy, but I developed tactics that helped me do well in school. These tips are certainly not “one size fits all,” but these are 9 things that work for me. I hope you find them useful! Make school work engaging:   The more engaging and enjoyable something is, the easier it is for me to focus.

Even something as simple as an outfit for the first day of school can be a status symbol among students, regardless of grade level. Every school year, there is pressure on students to keep up with trends. Of course, there is nothing wrong with wanting to look nice for the first day, but the need to impress other classmates can lead to overconsumption: buying way more than you actually need or use.

My local library never stood out to me as a child. It didn’t smell of old vintage paperbacks or look like the perfect autumnal picture of academia that I would see in the movies.
