Wow, summer seems to go by faster every year. Most of you should probably be in the midst of packing your things and getting back on a semi-healthy sleep schedule, because back to school season is here again! For the third year in a row we're working with Lifehacker to share our back to school tips to the masses, so be on the lookout for some of our content over on their site all week. Here's an up-to-date list of all the articles we've contributed this week:
- Spend a Semester Without Microsoft Office
- Build an RA Relationship for an Easier School Year
- Build a Sick Day Kit to Stay in Tip-Top Shape
- Break Free of Your School's Crappy Email Client
- The DIY Ultimate Note-Taking Notebook (Read Luke's follow-up here)
- Use Multiple Google Calendars to Balance Your College Life
- Being a Good Roommate and Dealing with Those Who Aren't
- Use a Weekly Review List to Stay a Step Ahead This Semester
If you're coming to the site via Lifehacker for the first time, feel free to look around; the keg's in the back. You could also find us on Facebook or Twitter, if you're into that. Below are a few posts from the summer that may suit your fancy.

The link to the Lifehacker post on going a semester without MO is incorrect.
Which is a shame because I'm running Ubuntu on a netbook and OO.org is a resource hog =(
It's working now. LH was having a bug there for a minute :)
Oh excellent! Can't really be of use in my Arabic class (the only class I'm taking at a college, high school ftw), but I'll definitely be using it in my AP classes!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I'm currently a CA (my university's equivalent of an RA) in training, and the RA article was awesome. Kudos!!
Great list of articles... already read the first 3. Love the 'sick day kit' !! College Experience
Great post. I highly recommend using multiple digital calendars, Google Calendar or otherwise. If you still end up forgetting things because you don't check it, you should enable email alerts!
