As much as we hate to say it sometimes, the finals Christmas season is upon us. We are all racing toward the finish line for this quarter/semester. Christmas trees [...]
Partying is no good. Let me repeat that: NO GOOD. All that matters in college is getting good grades your parents can be proud of showing that Sigma Cum-Laude diploma off to their friends. The good grades will also ensure your future at grad schools [...]
Because you read a lifehacking blog like HackCollege you obviously already make your bed every day. Right? Because all students make their bed each morning. Because students never take naps. Because students always get a full night's rest. And nobody has a' [...]
It's crunch time. Finals are fast approaching. So is Thanksgiving break. There is so much work to get done before hopping on the plane on Wednesday morning for a day of hellish travel. We are asking ourselves: will I get everything [...]
The UC system decided to officially raise tuition by an unheard of 32% on Friday. In the face of the easily-anticipated hike, THOUSANDS of students at UCLA, Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz (among others) tried to hack the decree the only way [...]

It's been a busy week for the HackCollege crew. We all met up on Tuesday in New York City for the live taping of the Diggnation. It was the first time [...]
It seems these days that everyone’s jumping with both feet onto the Twitter bandwagon – and that includes colleges. Employees, departments, school teams, and even college presidents are getting onto Twitter, and engaging with students and the public in cool new ways.

If you haven't already, check on flights home for Christmas break. No matter how much you hate your family, your college will probably close the dorm on you if you don't go home.
You might already be too late for a good deal, but flights are [...]
It happens to me almost every morning: I wake up, say a NSFW version of “oh gosh golly!” because I have 4 minutes to get to class, and start getting ready. And, ready for this? I make it to class. Almost on [...]
This could be you. Image via Maximum PCLast week Microsoft started Microsoft Student Rally which is a competition among students around. The goal? It's to see who can get a tweet, with the hash tag of #Windows7 and why the new' [...]
This happens a lot. Wine is the only type of alcohol that comes in a container that requires its own special tool to open. Other alcohols don't even have basic child-proofing. So, when you're smashed out of your mind and caught without a corkscrew, it [...]
We launched a new site this week, Discuss Campus. There was a huge flood to the site and there is already a healthy community over there with over 200 questions asked in the first 2 days. Awesome. There were quite a few questions that [...]

If you’re [...]

Last week The Chronicle of Higher Education wrote a post in their blog, Wired Campus, about colleges doing away with school specific email addresses. One of the main reasons they cite for the inclination to delete the mail accounts is that all of [...]
My desk space is... kind of cluttered and uneventful.
Well, I figured it's about time I put my own desk up here. The world wants to know.
My desk may be quite the let-down for anyone expecting some crazy, avant-garde ultraproductive setup. It's' [...]
We know you think potato chips are a well-rounded meal, but to lots of other people, they're just a snack. That means we usually munch them while doing something else -- sometimes, at the computer. And though they're bad for your diet, [...]
As of this morning, Discuss Campus is officially online! Given its crowd-sourced nature, it needs participation to be useful. And that's where you come in.
Head on over and create an account. If you know the answers to some of the [...]
Oh dear. Photo via Leadership by DanThe worst thing that can happen to your computer is frying the hard drive. I had this misfortune two summers ago. I'm grateful that it was the summer though and not before finals. All of your' [...]
