As Eliz­a­beth men­tioned, Feb­ru­ary is a month filled with oppor­tu­ni­ties for bud­ding rela­tion­ships (col­lege accep­tance let­ters) and heart­break. (sigh…rejection let­ters).
In some cases, these same let­ters may force some soon-to-be grad­u­at­ing high schools seniors to revisit a ques­tion they once con­fi­dently answered months before pen­ning rough draft per­sonal state­ments. What's more, the answer to this question […]

The Los Ange­les Times ran an arti­cle, where fash­ion colum­nist Adam Tschorn inter­viewed Neil Patrick Har­ris from “How I Met your Mother” who dis­cussed how much he loves his Paul Smith and Dolce & Gab­bana suits, because they fit and flat­ter his tall and nar­row frame like no other. The arti­cle reminded me of the […]

A col­lege cam­pus can also feel a bit sti­fling at times, espe­cially when com­pared with sig­nif­i­cant real world events that put things into per­spec­tive. Many U.S. uni­ver­si­ties are tak­ing action to aid the peo­ple of Haiti in the after­math of the dev­as­tat­ing earthquake.

I used to make a whole slew of res­o­lu­tions at the start of every semester–some worked bet­ter than others.

Saul Sutcher, like many col­lege stu­dents, grew tired of the unin­spir­ing offer­ings of cafe­te­ria food. But instead of wal­low away with "over­cooked, unsea­soned pasta that lies on the plate as mush," Saul used his cook­ing skills and entre­pre­neur­ial vision to launch Cafe Nor­ris, a once-a-week gourmet cafe offer­ing such fares as duck ragu, pancetta-wrapped quail, and tarte aux pommes for dessert. In an inter­view, Saul details this awe­some ven­ture and describes how his expe­ri­ences in col­lege helped him achieve his gourmet goals.

The orig­i­nal arti­cle is well-worth a read (find out how a top-notch sum­mer intern­ship helped Saul pre­pare for dish­ing the goods at Cafe Nor­ris). Last week, I caught up with Saul to learn more about this awe­some ven­ture and find out how his expe­ri­ences in col­lege helped him achieve his gourmet goals.

A Won­der­ful Begin­ning
When you start col­lege, it can be easy to lose track of why you went there and what you're really there for. Start­ing in col­lege across the coun­try, either I lost sight of that for a lit­tle while, or the rea­sons I went cross coun­try weren't the right ones. I was a freshman […]

When I went on col­lege tours, I asked a lot of questions—just not always the right ones. We spend so much time dis­cussing majors and minors, perks and places that it’s easy to miss some cru­cial details of a col­lege visit. Here are some aspects of col­lege life that I hardly thought about but are […]
