What Does Your College Major Worth?

Most of you are probably still undecided about your college majors so I will provide a list of college majors that you should consider not taking. I am not offending any major but these are just suggestions. 


These majors won't provide much job opportunities after graduation.


- Art History, Philosophy, Music, Dance, Latin, and Film 


The majors stated above is not practical (applicable to real world when getting a job) but it does not mean people who have those majors do bad in life. It is more of a general picture rather than a special one. 

6 Gadgets for College Students

1) iPod

Sure, college students lived without MP3 players back in the day, but in 2011, it’s practically required to have an iPod parked in your back pocket. Whether listening to tunes, watching movies during your commute or catching up on a prof’s podcast, there’s nothing as small, convenient and well-priced as an iPod.

2) Smartphone

BlackBerrys, iPhones and Androids -- oh, my! While smartphones undoubtedly come in handy for apps, social media and Internet browsing, their most useful offering is constant access to email. With professors sending out assignment reminders, last-minute class cancellations and bonus readings, email at your fingertips is absolutely necessary. 

* I personally would recommend Motorola Droid 2 or Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. 

3) Laptop

Sure, a desktop might work but laptop is the way to go. You are constantly moving in college so getting a laptop might be wise. If you want stylish appearance, you can get Sony Vaio. If you want the name, you can get Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro. If you want everyday use, then get IBM or HP laptops. 

4) Digital Camera

Digital Camera can capture all the good memories you have with your friends. But with today's technology, our smartphone is basically a miniature digital camera. 

5) USB Thumb Drive

USB thumb drive is a portable device to carry all your homework and documents. You should update your USB often to store the most important files you need. If you laptop breaks down, you will still have the file on hand.

6) Portable Speakers

Porrtable speakers are vital for entertaining any crowd, all the more reason to invest in these lightweight, easy-to-transport devices. While laptops are unreliable for legitimate sound quality and iPods will only keep the beat for an audience of one, portable speakers are the key ingredient in making your next pregame party a huge success.

What ALL Freshman Should Know

College experience cannot be compare with anything, not even high school. But there are lots of things college freshman should know. 


1) Go to Class
The first one is obvious. Go to class. Earn you grade. and Go on with the next few years.


2) Party Finder
Don't send out mass texts to everyone you know asking, "do you know of any parties?". Sure they are your friends but it is very annoying.  Just ask around when you hangout with your friends. Word of mouth is probably the most classic and fastest way to pass information around.


3) Hook Up
Don't hook up with someone in your dorm hall. It will get awkward afterward. You will be seeing her/him everyday in the hall. If it is unavoidable, just try to minimize it from happening.


4) Clean Up After Yourself
College parties are definitely a lot of fun but try to stay within your drinking level. You don't want to puke or punch your friend in his/her face. Please clean up after yourself. Thank you.


5) No Early Birds
If you are an early person, then sure, go ahead and choose all the morning classes. But I bet most of us aren't early birds. So choose the later classes rather than the early ones. 

How to Hook Up with Girls

College is where we all want to have fun. Whether it be dating or just hooking up. Both requires you to have the courage to do it. Here is the game plan:

1_Single Out

 If you see a group of hot girls in a party, try to single out the lady. It is better to get target one than the whole group, unless you are Brad Pitt. 

2_Step Up

Step up to the girl and introduce yourself. The winning point is to be confident. Smile broadly and make solid eye contacts. 

3_Plan Instantly

This next move depends on the type of girl you are interacting with so you have to plan instantly. You can offer her a dance or a drink or place the college party games. 

4_Find Excuses

After all the hassles above, you got to find excuses to go to her place. If she doesn't seem to like this idea, find excuses to take her to YOUR place. 

5_Play the Game

Well, you write the summary of this step!

Party Games

There are lots of games in college parties but I am going to list the classic ones.


1) Beer Pong
Beer Pong works like this: You throw ping pong balls into paper/plastic cups filled with beer. Success means that the other teams have to drink the beer. 


2) Beer Checkers
Use shot glasses filled with beer as pieces. Each time a player’s shot glass is jumped, they must down that shot glass. Loser downs the remaining shot glasses. 


3) Dice
Roll the dice. On each player’s turn, they must drink if they roll anything that adds up to six.


4) Quarters
Each player tries to bounce a quarter off the counter and into the shot glass. At each successful 
attempt, the other player drinks.

How to Avoid Hangover

How to avoid hangover from all the partying in college? There is really no way to avoid hangovers in college but there are few ways to cure hangover quickly. 

1) Drink Lots of Water

Drink lots of water in order to flush away all the alcoholic contents in your body. Gatorade provides relief from hangover but pure water is the most effective in waking you up. 

2) Coffee

Coffee is an effective way to cure hangover. However, caffeine can both treat and cause headaches so drink coffee wisely. 

3) Food

Right before you attend college parties, eat lots of greasy food (or just food in general). It will allow slower absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. 

4) Exercise

Exercise will help alleviate hangover but it is not an effective way. You are probably dead tired from hangover and so you probably don't have the motivation to exercise. Exercise will speed up the flow of your bloodstream and thus digest the alcohol in your body. 

I have tried all of them and I find drinking water is the most effective way. Trust me. You will need this when you go to college. College will be the place for the most parties you will ever experience. If you have any remedies for alleviating hangover, please comment below.
