Think you can't afford college? Think again!

Every one is low on cash in this economy, but you can still afford to pay for college.

Just follow these tips and you should be O.K (financially).

1. Accelerate your degree

Cram more units in your schedule, that way you can graduate faster at a lower cost.

2. Be a transfer student

You don't have to go to a university straight out of high school, go to a junior college and than transfer to your preferred college. This will save you thousands of dollars.

3. Choose a tuition-free school

Their is a catch for tuition-free schools, you might have to work at least 15 hours a week on the college campus.

4. Get a sponsor

Obtain a Federal Student Loan, it's the best way to borrow money for college, (other than a family member).

5. Work off debt with community service

Instead of paying the entire sum of you student loan you can work off the debt or at least a big chunk of it by volunteering in the community and other projects that help the less fortunate and other communities.

6. Apply for Financial Aid

If you plan to apply for financial aid, make sure that your parents are not claiming you on their taxes, and make sure you complete the FAFSA months before the deadline. The earlier you complete the FAFSA the more money you will get.

College Life

Everyone wants to go to college, to experience the college life style. i believe that living in dorms is a huge difference in living at home while you go to school. It's up to you on how you want your college experience to be. You can be a party guy, the girl that loves to flirt, cute girl, smart guy, someone that stands out, or even a weirdo. If you want to make a good impression I would suggest introducing yourself to others that live in the dorm. it is best to greet as many people as you can because you never know when your going to meet some people that are interesting to you.

Quit lying to yourself!

This explains it all....

Diet Do's & Don'ts: Rules That'll Help You Lose Weight

Do Eat:

Fiber. Great sources of fiber: veggies, fruits and beans.

Raw vegetables.

Berries.

Nuts. A serving is a quarter-cup. Pistachios, raw almonds or cashews, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, you name it. They're packed with good fat and protein, but don't overdo it. Consider scattering them on a salad and you can take care of two items (nuts and raw veggies) in one.

Protein at every meal. Make it fish at least twice a week, preferably more. Fried (anything) does not count.

Don't Eat:

Pasta.

Most bread. Unless it is honest-to-God, certified, authenticated whole-grain bread

Commercial cereals. This includes anything in a cute box with the word "crunchy" on it. Read the ingredients. If you find more than five grams of sugar, put it down.

Sodas, even diet sodas.

Packaged cookies, cakes, pies, crackers and desserts.

Try it. Maybe nothing will come of it. Maybe you'll finally start to lose weight.

A healthy life = A long life

It's very important to eat healthy and exercise

Eating healthy and exercising can:

Improve your mood
Combat Chronic Disease
Helps manage your weight
Strengthen your heart and lungs
Put the spark back into your sex life

Does everything we love make us fat?

Whether it's cheese or chocolate, French fries or fried chicken, many of our favorite foods tend to lead to an expanded waistline. Now, you can add your significant other to the list of things you love that are causing weight gain.

eDiets conducted a survey of more than 1,500 people to see how relationships affect weight and an overwhelming three-quarters of those surveyed said it was easier to maintain a diet when single, and a similar percentage of respondents found it more tempting to eat bad foods with their partners.

However, the news on dating and dieting wasn't all negative. In fact, roughly three-in-four respondents said their partner was supportive of their weight-loss efforts and about half exercised the same amount or more in a relationship as when they were single.

"The good news is the survey shows that a healthy relationship and healthy eating habits can go hand-in-hand," says eDiets Director of Nutrition Services Pam Ofstein. "As it should! Take the support of your partner and commit to each other to build a healthier, stronger relationship and lifestyle."

The survey found that respondents took pleasure in snuggling up at home about as much as a long romantic walk together. Other interesting findings from the survey:

-- 57% feel that being in a relationship has a negative effect on their waistline
-- 63% feel their significant other would rather eat unhealthy foods or portions
-- 74% are more tempted to eat "bad foods" when they were with their partner
-- 75% said it was easier to maintain their diet when single
-- 59% would rather have a great relationship than a great body
