through 3:
Don't Be Sad When You Shop
If you're sad and shopping, watch your wallet. A new
study shows people's spending judgment goes out the
window when they're down, especially if they're a bit
self-absorbed. On average, the group watching the
sad video offered to pay nearly four times as much
for a sporty-looking insulated water bottle than the
group watching the nature video, according to the
study by researchers from Harvard, University.

Why Should I Study?
If I studied 20 hours and got a C+ and only eight
hours to get a C, then I decided I could live with that
C. However, I knew that a lot of other students were
getting As and Bs. In order to compete with them
come graduation time, I knew that I had to do
something with my time that was not being strictly
devoted to academics.
What is the preference in hiring graduates? When
it comes time to graduate, prospective employers will
look at several things. Items prospective employers
will examine include: the degree you obtained, your
past work experience, your grade point average, and
what you did with your spare time.
