My worst professors were truly cringe-worthy. Need an example? Junior year, my advisor recommended I take "The Search for Life in the Universe," to get a non-lab science class out of the way. The fact that I purposely skipped physics in High School in favor of taking nutrition did not faze me in the slightest. I did not stop to think about what kind of person it takes to get a PhD in the study of extraterritorial life. I did not do what I Read More…

Mashable recently pinned a tutorial on making an amplifying speaker out of a Pringles can. I love this idea because I am far too cheap to spend money on an iPod docking station. I may or may not have broken my last one by knocking it off the table during an intense dance party... This project costs less than six dollars! What You Will Need: 1 Pringles Can (minus the Pringles and crumbs) Toilet Paper (approximately 14 inches) X-ACTO Knife Read More…
