That email is exactly what you'd expect from a dude who can't even spell his own surname correctly.

Totally. If you're looking to just pass because you're out the door and on the way to a job, then this is good advice. This is where the syllabus helps: you can prioritize between your classes what you're going to put tons of effort in or not. You'd be amazed how many students put in oodles of effort on the wrong…

True, but live close enough to a major city (or cities) that you can drive there for job interviews once you're a senior. I have friends who went to truly remote schools and that was their #1 complaint, whereas here at U of Alabama there's NoLa, Memphis, Birmingham, Nashville, and Atlanta - not to mention several…

5. Don't visit your professor during office hours just to chat.

Absolutely. The 3-4 hour driving distance is perfect. Also, it's just far enough so that your parents won't be constantly asking you to come home on the weekends.

The league size and season length you suggested should also be the same for the NHL. Playoffs are awesome, but goddamn the regular season can be painful. The problem is that the bad teams in both leagues are really bad, so bad that they fall almost immediately out of the playoff race and practically every game…

It may also be that visiting a Western country is easier to bring up in a conversation among Americans than the more exotic locales. Also, the well-traveled tend to have gone to Europe before the other crazy places too. My friends who went to Germany for class in high school are the ones who I've found out later went…

On #3: I think there's a strong inverse between how well-traveled someone is with how much they talk about it. My father has traveled all over the world while in the Navy, does regular business in Europe and Israel, and has done missionary work in India and Nepal yet rarely brings it up in conversation unless you…

I guess I should add: once you make your decision, give it 110% and don't for a second regret not making the other choice or wonder "what could have been." You'll never know how your life would've turned out if you did things differently, and you'll go crazy if you try. At 23 I quit my job, packed all of my life…

I like this advice. Some other things for recent grads that I've learned:

Awesome.

The sides would then alternate striking names from the list until one remains.

Concussion symptoms didn't want to risk it.. Thanks to the browns for the opportunity. Health trumps football any day

Oh, I totally agree that FSU is a poor fit for the ACC. It's also their fault they're in this predicament not only because of their ACC failures, but because they didn't join the SEC - the one conference where they'd fit best - when they had the numerous chances to do so the last several decades. In a perfect world,…

I don't mind conference expansion per se, but I don't like seeing schools make realignment decisions entirely based on TV money. FSU is not a good fit geographically, historically, or culturally for the Big 12. Breaking up old rivalries and forcing your fans and non-revenue sports teams to travel thousands of miles…

FSU DUAN,

30 more years of failing to develop a QB and not make the Superbowl? Worth every penny!

Awesome.

True, but the stop-motion was all Selick's idea and work. Not to knock Burton, but for years Selick has expressed in interviews (there was a really good one with the AV Club right around the time Coraline was released) that he felt Burton got all the credit while he received zilch in recognition.

What musician or band has an album made up of completely different and unique sounding songs- or across multiple albums for that matter?
