Congratulations. You’ve made it to your graduation after all of your hard work. It starts to sound like a sorry tune after a while, but you can’t get enough of it.

Darksiders II delayed

Those of us who were anxiously awaiting the sequel to Darksiders are going to have to wait a little bit longer. On April 18, THQ announced that the release of Darksiders II will be postponed until August.

I’ve noticed that some of my other gamer friends in college also have the same problem.

Xbox gamers will have to wait longer than expected for Microsoft’s official announcement to be released. Most people were expecting for some kind of announcement to be held at this year’s E3 convention in June. Microsoft spokesperson David Dennis told Bloomberg.com that “There will be no talk of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon. For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360.”

Tips on dealing with nightmare customers

In order to keep up with expenses, most college students need part-time jobs. Unfortunately, most of those jobs lie in the service industry. Whether you’re a waiter, in retail or a delivery driver, you learn very quickly that customers are assholes. These jerks are a dime a dozen and you’re just going to have to stick it out. Why? Because the customer is always right.

How to survive on little to nothing

In order to avoid having over $15,000 in student loans you’ve got to be money savvy. Bargain shoppers and coupon clippers may sound crazy, but they’re secretly laughing at how much money you’re wasting away. And no this doesn’t mean you have to eat ramen every day like the stereotypical college kid. You can be smart about your money through using a few nifty apps and shopping in other places.
