I was sitting in an NYC hotel room four years ago when my friend Sean told me I needed a plan for jumping ship. Running a college website was a gig with an expiration date, he said. Eventually, I’d graduate, move on to the next stage of my life, and steadily lose touch with the […]
Finals are coming up in a few weeks! Ever since I started making videos back in August 2014, I’ve tried to put a much heavier focus on academic topics than I did in the past. As a result, there are now a ton of videos, podcast episodes, and articles on College Info Geek that deal with exams […]
Ever dreamed of walking into a bookstore and seeing your own work up on a shelf? There are two ways of going about accomplishing that dream. The easiest one is simply walking in and putting something you made right up on a shelf, and then walking out. Honestly, I’d do this with my mixtape, but […]
Back in April of 2015, my friend Chris Bailey was on the show and we basically just geeked out about productivity the whole time. Now it’s time for another round of that. If you need a reminder, Chris is the man behind A Life of Productivity – which started out as a project called A […]

Unless you plan to move to New York, San Francisco, or some other big city after you graduate, you’ll probably have to buy a car at some point. Maybe your old Civic beater will last you a couple years after you graduate. Maybe it’ll blow up tomorrow while you’re on your way to class. Either […]
If you’ve been following College Info Geek for longer than, say, a week… you’ve probably noticed my Impossible List up in the main menu. What’s an Impossible List? For me, it’s my top-level system for goal setting and tracking. It’s also the tool that has probably made the greatest impact in my life out of […]
Ever think to yourself, “Dude, Tom – why can’t you publish more often?” I get it. Three times a week isn’t nearly enough for your college hacking fix – so it’s a good thing there are other great college blogs out there to complement this one. Collegetopia is, in my opinion, one of the best […]
One of the things I’ve stressed on this blog for a long time is the idea of becoming a “Solution Finder.” To me, this is someone who knows and to find answers to questions that aren’t immediately obvious and who is willing to do it. In fact, I’ve gone as far as to say that I’d […]
