How Friendly Is Too Friendly With Professors?
<-- Comments HereCollegeCandy: I’m a big proponent of being friendly with your professors because obviously if you’re a jerk and act like you don’t care, it’s going to reflect in your grades. However, there are some students who are buddy buddy with their professors, and sometimes that can get a little weird. I’m not sure how I feel about getting meals or hanging out with my professor.

It’s not surprising; nearly every culture through the history of civilization has had some form of fermented drink.<-- Comments Here
5 Great Questions to Ask Yourself After a Failure
<-- Comments HereStepcase Lifehack: Let’s face it. We all fail. As we go through life we have relationships that don’t work out, jobs that just aren’t right, exams that we flunk, initiatives that don’t succeed. The more new things we try the more failures we are likely to have. In fact, the only way to avoid failure is to do nothing new. The important thing is how we deal with failure.
