Procrastination (3 blogs to see before you die)

There are a surprising amount of freaking awesome college-related blogs out there! I've linked a couple of my favorite meme/gif blogs previously; this one particularly rings true today (after spending the weekend in Montreal, where the shopping is 100 000 times better than Burlington, but the taxes are cray)

So; after spending a disproportionate amount of time choosing 3 awesome blogs for you guys to read, I settled on the following:

Surviving College Life
http://www.survivingcollegelife.com/
I love this blog! Written by a girl called Jamie, it focuses on things like alternative ideas for spring break, how to manage your finances, splitting things with your roommate, how to find cheap flights and how to become a tourist in your own town over summer break. She writes in an easy-to-read, informative way, and links a number of really useful sites. Great for ideas on how to keep busy and fun things to do!

College Fashion
http://www.collegefashion.net/
An awesome blog for poor clothes-lovers. You can literally spend hours trawling the various clothes, hair and make-up tips, plus advice on how to wear runway looks on a budget and practical clothes for the weather. One post I'm loving right now (leading up to my first ever halloween) is 15 College Halloween Costume Ideas for Girls on a Budget.

Open Culture
http://www.openculture.com/
This is something a little more serious and educational. A super interesting, varied blog on absolutely anything you can think of! This blog includes lots of cool facts and quirky finds that you wouldn't normally know about, and uses a lot of videos in the blogging. This blog also has a bunch of free course guides, movies, language lessons and 'smart' youtube channels. So useful! One post I think is awesome is The Origin of Quantum Mechanics Explained in Four Animated Minutes - mainly because I didn't think anyone could make physics interesting. Super cool stuff.

Lastly, with the weather change we have seen over the last week or two, I'll leave you with an idea for what to do next time it's raining...

Until next time!
