It’s difficult to force yourself to shell out $20 for a new pair of shoes sometimes, but it’s not nearly as unfathomable when your favorite band comes to town.

This week I’m talking about finding it on your own time, rather than your invaluable class time. With the digital age came a huge influx of new tech toys to play with, from...

Dearest Google, I love you, I really do. My inner research nerd craves your juicy algorithms; your ability to give me access to the depths of the Internet is nothing short of amazing.
