That College KidSync Notes is a program/website that allows you to synchronize your notes between your computer, cell phone, PDA and their website and is a great way to have your notes with you at all times. (Like you’ll actually be studying them.) It’s free and easy to use, but unfortunately is only available for PC. There is a web version, Windows client and mobile client so you can control your notes from anywhere.
Summer’s coming up and this is the time for internships, which often lead to a career after graduation. There are many places to look, including your counselor’s office, your college bulletin boards and the web. Between FastWeb and Google, you should be able to find lots of companies looking for interns.
Another option is the U.S. government. I took an internship with the IRS last spring and it was great. The pay was excellent, there were vacation and sick leave and flexible hours. Given the chance, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The internet, which used to bring a sense of anonymity, is now the easiest way to find everything about you. Between Facebook and Myspace anyone can pull up all kinds of information about you, including photos, personality traits, contact information. Besides guarding your privacy, you can take other steps to ensure you have a safe online identity.
1. Use ClaimID. This is a website that pairs with OpenID to have one login for multiple websites. This way, you can make sure your information is tied to one username. So when your potential employer googles your name, you can make sure he only sees what you want him to see and not what some crazy man with your name posted on Myspace.
2. Run your email through IdentiFight. This service will find website accounts that are tied to your email. It will pull up your flickr, myspace, magnolia, etc. So be careful NOT to give your mom the same email you post pictures of you drinking beer on myspace.
3. Search different combinations of your name on google. See what comes up.
Months ago I promised a few of my cheap recipes, but I never actually got around to posting any. So I’m starting. Here’s my penne pasta casserole. It costs a few dollars to make and feeds me and my boyfriend twice.
Note: This “recipe” doesn’t count on exact amounts. Pasta, beef, sauce and cheese all depends on your liking. We like a lot of meat and cheese. Some people like more pasta. You can’t really mess this up. Also, you can substitute the pasta for another kind if you’d like. Macaroni noodles work fine.
