Today’s tip: Don’t be so quick to judge someone by their exterior. Today’s college woman can have the whole package!

The Harvard Crimson just posted a story about one of their Juniors: Glamour Magazine selected Meghan Pasricha ’08 as a finalist in its Top 10 College Women award, adding the junior to a long list of Harvard and Radcliffe women who have been honored in the contest’s 50-year span.

Pasricha was chosen for her efforts campaigning against youth smoking. She has a picture and a blurb in the issue highlighting her cause. See? Glamour isn’t just about the best hair (though I’m sure it can’t hurt).

Check out the article on the Harvard Crimson’s website.

Did you know that May is Mental Health Month? Nurture yourself by taking care of your emotions and the rest will fall into place.

That title, my dear, is completely up to you. Yes, most people are on a tight budget during their college years. However, there are ways to be responsible with the money you do have.

I’m more of a spender and one of my close friends is a saver. We make similar amounts of money but she’s always got stacks while my account usually holds about $12.84. How is this possible? It’s because no one taught me how careful I really need to be (when in doubt, always blame the parents lol). So now, I’m taking matters into my own hands, and you should too.

Here are a few tips to get you started.

As much as well rounded college ladies like you love discussing love, makeup and politics, let’s talk study habits for a minute. It’s getting nice out and Spring Fever means a serious aversion to anything that requires brainwork but stay focused!

Even if you think you’ve tried it all, employ some new study habits this month to keep it fresh because memorizing biology notes is tedious enough by itself (Serious props to my biology majors)!
