The Students' Lifestyle

The MTV reality show Catfish has become one of my favorite shows. The series gives people the chance to meet the real person they have been dating online for the first time in, and usually the person they meet is far from what they expected. The show has changed the way that people have looked at online dating making them thing twice before adding random people on Facebook. Of course some of the stories seem far stretched and avoidable (like being engaged with someone you never met) but the crazy thing is, it could happen to anyone. Even you. After watching the show, and using this thing called common sense, we've piled together a fool proof way to see if your dream guy is as real as he says he is.

1. You're dating a model

My BF is an A&F model and looks just like Trey Songz!

Looks can be deceiving, and online it's easy to steal anyone's picture and use it to be your own. So when that Brad Pitt look-a-like friends you on Facebook, it's okay to be skeptical. If you want to weed out a fake is to search their profile pictures on Google Images. If no other images are found, then you may be in the clear. If not, then you may be getting reeled in by a fake.

2. Can never meet

Is your dream guy always dropping out of dates and cancelling meetups?  If he's always cancelling or something comes up, ask him what's up. Is he really busy, or is he hiding something from you?

Since we are both in the communications field of study,  I'm majoring in Broadcast Journalism and Tara is majoring in Communication, I sometimes wonder which celebrities started off as journalists. Believe it or not, many actors went to school and majored in journalism or communications. Although they're not working as news anchor, take a look at some actors who had a different passion before hitting the big screen.

Last night BET aired its original movie  Being Mary Jane, starring Gabrielle Union. The film follows television host Mary Jane Paul, a woman who has the looks, the job, the house, but is still looking for love.  In the first scenes of the film we find out that Jane's lover is hiding a secret from her -he's married. In a seat clinching scene Mary Jane sees her lover's wife going into a pet shop and has the spontaneous idea to go follow her inside and reveal the secret that her husband has been hiding. But, things didn't go the way that she or anyone else expected.

We couldn't fit all of the crazy ways that people pay tuition into one post, so we had to make another one. Here are more ways that students have found to get their school bills out of the way. Again we have to share this little disclaimer. We aren't endorsing any of these methods, just sharing what we found.


Lab Rat
Being a human guinea pig is also another way to earn some extra money to go towards school bills. Clinical studies and lab tests all around the world seek participants to join in their studies for compensation. Studies could be anything from watching you when you sleep to seeing how a new drug affects you. Of course, this is a choice that should be thought about long and hard before making a commitment.
