While you can’t anticipate everything that’ll happen after you graduate, you can do your best to prepare for aspects of post-grad life you know will definitely happen. 1.

Today on the blog, I’ll be discussing with you why you shouldn’t take an unpaid internship and how exactly to build your skills for a paid one.

Staples, such as rice, beans, and eggs can be used in most dishes and allow you to feel full.

As a freshman in college I did not know of the ways you could save money on housing. I thought spending a lot of money on housing was money well spent. I was wrong. While you do want to make sure that you live in a decent apartment, you don’t need to pay an enormous amount of money for that. In this post I’ll outline the ways I intend to and have saved money on housing in college. 1. Sublease While this may seem a bit…
