It’s pretty hard to become immortal. Apparently JonTron did it by eating a magical gyro, but it turns out that it must have been a unique gyro. Other gyros don’t work, apparently – the knowing look of pity I got from the guy at the Greek food truck when I asked for the “Immortality Special” […]
Hide yer lanyerds and throw your drawstring bags over a bridge – school’s back in session! Honestly, I never got the whole thing about not wanting to look like a freshman. Entire blogs have been dedicated to this goal, and yet, being out of college, I honestly wish I was a freshman again. Sure, back then I […]
Back in May, I put up a cool little tutorial on how to build a hanging desk. Basically, I attached chains to the four corners of a sturdy board and hung the board off my loft bed. While it was a pretty simple project, the outcome was pretty cool – all the floor space that […]
Whenever someone subscribes to my newsletter, they get a confirmation message with a quick thank-you, a nice picture of my mug, and a simple request: I ask them to tell me what their biggest college goals are, and if there’s anything I can do to help them out.

Now let’s start the long march to three digits, and, possibly, insanity. Going into the production for today’s episode, my brain was set to “argue” rather than “interview”. However, despite […]
The red and white-dominated screen stared right back at me, daring me to second-guess its sobering proclamation. 2,073,600 pixels all banded together to thrust a singular message down my optic nerves and right into my occipital lobe: “A night class. A. Night. Class.” That was my option? My only option? After almost four years of […]
So many students state their main college goal as “getting a job”. Often, that’s all there is to it. They just want a job. But what about finding a job you truly love? That’s the idea I explore in this week’s podcast interview with my friend Barrett Brooks. Barrett is the founder of Living For Monday, […]
Yeah, I said it – you’re wasting $87,998.50 on your education. Or are you? What are we really paying for when we buy a college education, or an expensive information product? That’s the question I tackle in this episode of the College Info Geek podcast. The reality is that today, you can learn pretty much […]
