College Mixer: Weekly Roundup of Awesome 7/27

It’s Olympics week! Wooo. While the college blog world seemed a little quiet this week, we still uncovered some great posts for our second edition of College Mixer. Focusing on topics in early marriage, internships, veganism, and general entertainment awesomeness. Check it out!

For Your Entertainment: Bright Futura‘s No Class Series

If there was ever a time I was jealous of Bright Futura, it was every single time they posted a hilarious or witty graphic on their facebook wall. I think they realized that they could make a great post out of their weekly collections, and thus, the No Class series was born. You can check out their first roundup of gifs and images here!

For Single Ladies: College Crush Addresses Early Marriage

I just graduated from NYU, which was notorious for its girl-to-straight-guy ratio. More than that, there’s just so much to do in NYC that you forget that a lot of people meet their significant others quite often around this age. Like all of my old high school friends who suddenly settled down, got married, and had their first child — all before I graduated. You can’t help but freak out a little, wondering why you haven’t found “The One” yet (which, seriously, how do you know at 20 or 21??? I barely know how to be a grownup, let alone do something as grownup as getting married. The College Crush reminds the single girls to calm down. Just calm down — and ignore that feeling of being left out! It can go awry!

For the Budget: Small Kitchen College Teaches You How to Be a Broke Vegan

People are always afraid of making the leap to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

She gives some good tips to live the life of a broke vegan.

But maybe you shouldn’t try Anne’s current diet for the Les Miserables film…
