Sounds too crazy to be true, but if you do this right, you can actually eat whatever you want and still lose weight.
I want to first introduce you to an uncommon concept: On a physiological level, our brain controls everything that we feel- the feeling of joy, hunger, love, pain is all controlled by our brain. We feel the 'happiness of new love' because the brain releases excess dopamine in our system. I know it sounds very unromantic, but it's true.
Similarly, what we feel about food is how our brain reacts to it. Without any restrictions on our food, we eat what makes us happy. Our brain associates our favourite foods with satisfaction and when it gets enough of it, you feel satisfied. Sugar chemically makes us happy and fat provides satisfaction to our brain. So, very often it's the combination- fatty and sweet foods that are favourites with people- ice cream, cake, fudge, laddus, …
Now, when you go on a nutrition plan (diet) that has restrictions, your brain doesn't get as much satisfaction from your food. So, it keeps trying to tempt you to eat the 'satisfying foods'. Anyone who's been on a diet that restricts them from eating their favourite foods, knows about those intense cravings.
So, when you're on a healthy diet, we recommend indulging in your favourite food, on a regular but controlled basis. That way, you're eating healthy most of the time and your brain gets the occasional satisfaction from your indulgence. We call these meals- cheat meals. Studies have proven that diet plans that include cheat meals result in more effective and long term weight loss results than diets with no cheat meals. This is for two reasons- participants stick with the diet plan for longer, since they're less 'deprived'. And because these nutrition plans are easier to incorporate into your lifestyle, they result in long term weight loss.
At Fitho, we truly believe that when helping with fat loss or weight loss, it's important to create long term weight loss and thus truly create fitter and healthier people. We're so confident of our nutrition and workout plans, that we even have a money-back program.Author Information - this article is written by a wellness coach @ FitHo

Farming Today
All rural life is here: daily news of food, farming, the countryside and the environment with…
The process to decide how much aid should be given to Scottish farmers affected by this year's snowstorms is underway.
In Scotland, one thousand farmers applied for help from the £6 million weather aid scheme set up after the extreme weather saw thousands of fallen livestock and ruined crops. It comes as governments across the UK have made extra money available. In Northern Ireland, the executive set aside £5 million to help affected farmers whilst both Wales and England gave money to rural charities.
Charlotte Smith hears how the amount of aid each farmer receives will be decided and when farmers can expect to get their cheques.
And we catch up with Tim FitzHigham - the man on a mission to recreate a 19th century bet - who appealed for an unshorn sheep on the programme a couple of weeks ago. Farming Today hears how one listener was able to help...

Hey there,
Thanks for letting me know about linking the Ed Wood song. There's not much to credit really, if you want to note my blog where folks can find more music that'd be great. I'm planning on putting together an album of some of the tunes I've put together which I'll link through the blog soon as well.
Cheers and thank you!

There's no hope for Leafs fans to bank on moving forward: not a James Reimer Messiah to bank on, not a Dion Phaneuf Captain to have faith in, not a Phil Kessel Prodigy to hope for. These are the times of a Leafs fan today, struggling to find any glimmer of hope they can hold and relish onto.
Now they're saying Jake Gardiner is the team's best asset. Is this is what Leafs Nation's hunger and strife has led to? A B-level defensive prospect out of the American college system? Or is it Ben Scrivens, a 26-year-old AAA goalie finally set to get his chance in the big-leagues? Or how Carter Ashton, a player with strength, puck control and potential? Or Nazem Kadri, a kid (note 'kid') who has made zero strides with the Marlies in 3 years.
All anyone ever speaks about with regard to the Leafs is "potential." Do you know what potential means? Potential is energy that has not yet reached it maximum level. Potential is a big word that means "he could be good, but we'll have to see." Potential is what you say when Phil Kessel is leading the league in scoring after a month – potential to win the Hart- and when Phaneuf is amongst the league's best defenseman after 20 games.
Who has potential on this Leafs team? Gardiner? Oh yeah, future All-Star. Kadri? Future 'magic mittens' winger. And that, my friends, is where the list starts and ends. No one else. What about Tuukka Rask or… Oh yeah, they've all been traded away or have simply failed to live up to their potential…
You'd think that after so many years of being so painfully mediocre, the Leafs would have at least one top-of-the-line prospect that they have gotten via the draft. And that player could have easily been Dougie Hamilton. Or Tyler Seguin. Just think what would happen if the second overall pick was wearing a blue and white sweater, donning the Maple Leaf? Would he have been the Leafs' "Savior"? We'll never know that, but he would have surely been a superstar here.
What's there to look forward to next year? Is it the addition of a big centre man in the off-season, the final missing piece to set-up Phil Kessel? What about another defender to bandage those bleeding boo-boos? Or a veteran goaltender to backup Reimer? Don't fool yourselves, Leafs fans. You're team was fifth from the bottom of the league. And you're thinking playoffs? Are you crazy?
Are you banking on Mike Komisarek incredible speed and wall-like defense? Are you banking on Lupul's health? Reimer's post-concussion system's? Connolly's face-off skills? Phaneuf's flashiness? Burke's bullcrap? Are you banking on Phil Kessel to score you 60 goals? (Come on, I'm sure that after 41 games you'd thought he'd get there.)
The Leafs are mediocre, plain and simple. Next year they will be mediocre as well. The year after, they'll move up a spot. The year after that, they'll drop down a spot. Mediocrity breeds mediocrity in a league where the worst teams consistently choose from the top prospects in every draft. When the Oilers are done with their current run of atrocity, they'll quickly rise to prominence a la the Penguins. Meanwhile, the Leafs will be trapped in between. Here's how the Leafs have finished in the Eastern Conference standings over the past seven seasons: 9th, 9th , 10th, 12th, 15th, 10th , 13th. The year they finished 15th? Their draft pick didn't belong to them.
The Leafs need to tank purposely next year. They need a superstar. They need a messiah. Maybe if they would have traded up in the '08 draft, like Burke said he could have, then they might have had Jonathan Tavares. Maybe if Burke hadn't traded away two first rounders, then the Leafs could have had two (Seguin and free agent Mike Cammalleri). Maybe if Burke had traded for humble Rick Nash, they would have had a goal scorer and a captain. But now the Leafs have only the future to hold onto.
And Nathan MacKinnon could be just what they've been looking for. That is, if the Leafs either purposely or accidentally fail next year. MacKinnon is the guy. He's the second-coming of Sidney Crosby, scouts say. He's 16. He's fast. He's strong. He's Canadian. The consensus number one overall pick in the 2013 Draft would be a perfect fit for the Maple Leafs. If not him, than whom?
The Leafs have next to nothing to look forward to. Not a consistent goalscorer, not a full-fledged prospect, not a goalie who can save pucks, and not even a Captain. Worse, the guy in charge doesn't look like he's going anywhere. This is the same guy who said, "Pittsburgh Model? My ass," after being asked whether growing a team through the draft was a good idea. The same guy that thinks building American is the smartest choice. The same guy who signed Colby Armstrong and Tim Connolly to $5 million dollar deals. The same guy who stood still, arms crossed, looking like an idiot at the trade deadline. The same GM who wanted to build "a strong and truculent team" and then released Colton Orr and Jay Harrison days later. This is the arrogant, hot-headed and overly confident Brian Burke.
It's time for the Leafs to clean house and start over. It's time for the Leafs to truly begin playing for the future, because the present has been consistently unsatisfying. It's time for the Leafs to take a cue from the teams at the top, for otherwise they'll never get there again.

Before naming the students of the year, Santurri called attention to Lowell and Barbara Johnson, both long-time members and contributors to the St. Olaf community. The Johnsons endowed a scholarship for the Great Con Students of the Year, and were present Wednesday to congratulate the winners.
Santurri also called attention to the six professors who make up the two cohorts of the Great Conversation program, as well as past Great Con professors who attended the event. "Its a lot of work," Santurri said about teaching in the program.
Associate Professor of Religion and Philosophy Elizabeth Galbraith agreed. "Its been one of the most exhausting and one of the most thrilling teaching experiences of my career," she said.
The Great Con Students of the Year were chosen according to a number of criteria, including academic achievement, a manifest love of the material, dexterity of mind, ability to listen well and contributions to class discussion. "Needless to say, the Great Con has a number of students who make significant contributions," Santurri said. "It was a hard choice." The three professors in each cohort chose one representative student to honor as the Great Con Student of the Year.
Koch and Moench came up to receive their awards to the applause of their classmates. "I had no idea the winner would have to give a speech," Koch said. She commented on the caliber of her classmates and her admiration of all participants of the program. "I looked around at all the people in our class, and I could not believe our profs picked one person," she said. "It would be impossible."
Moench agreed. "Everyone contributed in their own unique way," he said. "Thats what made it work." Attendees, professors and students alike pointed to the outstanding abilities and talents alive in the program. "This evening has been honoring all the students," Galbraith said. Associate Professor of Norwegian and current Great Con professor Anne Sabo agreed. "I dont like it being about an individual," she said, wishing the event would honor one specific day of discussion. "Its never about one person," she said.
The evening ended with a song, entitled "A Hegelian Dialectic of Defenestration," sung by Great Con members Sara Huelskoetter '09 and Katherine Parent '09. The musical number showcased several authors read in the program, as well as amusing incidents occurring during their years in Great Con, such as the time when Associate Professor of Philosophy Jeanine Grenberg tried to hit a wasp with her copy of Dantes "Inferno" and ended up breaking the window, accidentally throwing her book outside in the process.
Overall, the evening celebrated a group of students who have bonded over the "great" authors of the Western tradition. "I didnt like everything that we read, but Im so glad that I had this experience," Moench said. "I cant imagine a better crew to go on this voyage with."

Internet celebrates tenth anniversary of Joe Namath trying to kiss Suzy Kolber on live TV
12/20/13 in NFL | JoeKukura | 492 respect
Ten years later, Joe Namath still has not kissed Suzy Kolber (as far as we know). He is off the sauce, and credits the incident with his decision to go forward with a recovery program. Ms. Kolber has never acknowledged the incident until just last year, out of respect for Namath's recovery. But NFL fans will never forget, so let's honor the anniversary with a repeat viewing of this unforgettable exchange.
"It was that incident that brought to light that I needed to do something, absolutely," Namath said on a book tour in 2006, his first time discussing the attempted smooch publicly. "And I'm glad. I hated having to deal with that incident."
Ms. Kolber herself did not want to talk about the incident until Namath gave the OK for a 2006 HBO biographical documentary about his life. "When we first started talking and he was slow and deliberate and in his speech, what was going through my head was, 'Maybe it's just really cold.' And none of the executives in the truck were alarmed either because nobody said 'stop'." she said. "The direction in my earpiece was, 'keep going.'"
The NFL humor blog Kissing Suzy Kolber sprang up in response to the incident, and continues to be a go-to home for funny NFL gifs and memes. The blog held a Namath-Kolber tenth anniversary contest for readers to submit fan artwork commemorating the moment. The amazingly hilarious winning video, a Namath-Kolber-"Back to the Future" mashup, can be seen below.
This video is totally safe for work. But this video is not safe for work if your boss doesn't like you crying tears of laughter and howling with giggles so that you completely lose your composure.

By MARK NAGI 6 Sports Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- UCLA's gain is the Lady Vols loss. On Thursday, Tennessee assistant coach Nikki Caldwell became the new head coach for UCLA's women's basketball team.
Caldwell has been an assistant on Pat Summitt's coaching staff since 2002. She also played for Summitt from 1990-1994, winning a national championship in 1991.
"Nikki Caldwell is truly one of the rising stars in women's college basketball. She is the total package as a teacher, a coach and a recruiter," said Summitt. "She is a woman of great character and has a powerful gift of mentoring young women. Nikki has been instrumental in the success of our program as both a player and most recently as an assistant coach for the last six years."
"There couldn't have been a better candidate for the job," said departing Lady Vols All-American Candace Parker. "Nikki Caldwell represents passion, commitment and intelligence within the game of women's basketball. She is destined to do nothing but good things, and UCLA will truly benefit from her services. I personally have connected with Coach Caldwell as a player underneath her for 4 years, not just within basketball but personally. She has my support and forever will as she helps to re-establish a storied program."
Caldwell is a graduate of Oak Ridge High School.

If you're looking to buy an e-book reader, you have a lot of choices.
Sales of e-book readers have almost doubled in the last year, and the companies that make them have stepped up their game by releasing new and improved options.
So, with all the new choices, how do you know which one is best for you?
Consumer Reports tested more than a dozen e-book readers, including the best-selling Kindle and the new e-reader from Borders, called the Kobo.
First, they checked to see how easy the screen was to read.
"We're looking to see how clear and crisp the type is in different conditions," said Consumer Reports' Rich Fisco.
The testers used lights to simulate outdoor sun. They found that the readers with backlit screens have problems with glare. Those that didn't have a backlight were much more readable in bright light.
Another test sized up how quickly the pages turn.
Consumer Reports settled on three e-book readers that are worth considering: The Nook Simple Touch Reader, the Kindle Wi-Fi, and the Kobo eReader Touch Edition. They all cost around $140.
If color is a priority, $250 Nook Color is your best choice. It offers rich color - great for people who like to read magazines on the e-reader.
Bu, if you don't mind reading in black and white, you can save $25 on Amazon's Kindle Wi-Fi with Special Offers. The $115 e-reader displays ads, but you'll also get some special offers, such as Amazon.com discounts.

TEAMS: Florida Gators
Monty Grow, a former Florida Gators linebacker who had a brief NFL career with Kansas City and Jacksonville in the mid 90s, probably won't receive "Father of the Year" honors, after he was arrested for leaving his 3-year-old daughter in a car while he hung out in Diamond Dolls, a Florida strip club. From WTSP… A former University of Florida linebacker was arrested for child abuse after police say he left a 3-year-old girl in his car alone while he went into a strip club. Deputies say when they got to the scene, the child's grandparents were already there and had removed the child from the vehicle. An investigation revealed 41-year-old Monty R. Grow of Redington Beach had driven the car into the Drive Time parking lot and left the girl unattended in the vehicle while he went inside the Diamond Dolls strip club around 9:48 p.m. Sunday. Deputies say that as they were investigating the incident, Grow ran up to the car and admitted to leaving the girl unattended. She was not injured. Grow was a member of the Gators from 1989-1993, but missed the entire 1991 season after being suspended for steroid use. Looks like his life choice skills haven't gotten any better with age.

Green Mountain Power wants a permit to kill bats.When the Lowell Mountain wind project went online, little brown bats were not an endangered species. Now they are and killing them is illegal. But GMP says changing wind currents at the turbines can cause some bats to die. Utility officials estimate it kills about seven bats a year, four of which are the endangered bats. GMP says it takes measures to protect the bats but it cannot stop the turbines altogether."First of all we are generating renewable energy up there and then we do operate the plant in a way to really help protect the bats by not generating in some low wind conditions when the bats would be around to protect them," explained Dottie Schnure of Green Mountain Power.GMP will also be donating $18,000 annually to a fund that help endangered bat species.

Historically a nation of immigrants, the United States is home to nearly 41 million immigrants, who represent 13 percent of the total population and play a key role in the economic, civic, and cultural life of the country. The research collected here covers many facets of immigration to the United States, by the numbers and how immigrants fare in the country's classrooms and workplaces, the policies and regulations that shape the admission of new immigrants, the enforcement programs and polices in place at U.S. borders and within the interior, and integration policies and efforts taking place in local communities, in states, and at the federal level.
Between 1960 and 2012 the share of Canadians in the U.S. foreign-born population declined from 10 to 2 percent, while the actual number of Canadian immigrants has remained remarkably steady. Using the most up-to-date statistics, this profile examines the Canadian immigrant population by size, age, location, college education, and more.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
Nearly 620,000 immigrants — one-third from Mexico, India, the Philippines, and China — became U.S. citizens in 2010. MPI's Anne Nielsen and Jeanne Batalova take a detailed look at the latest naturalization trends in the United States.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the recent Supreme Court decision in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting, the ongoing controversy surrounding states' participation in Secure Communities, the extension of TPS for Haitian nationals, and more.
Immigrants from Asia accounted for about 28 percent of the total U.S. foreign-born population in 2009. MPI's Jeanne Batalova examines the social and economic profiles of the foreign born from this region.

The terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" were originally created for administrative purposes by the U.S. government, but have since come to define a population of 50.5 million people who trace their origins to 20 different countries. Rubén Rumbaut examines the origin and administrative use of the Hispanic-Latino category, and the effect it has had on the identities of people placed into it.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
Drawing on experiences from Asia, Europe, North America, and the Pacific region, this report presents eight strategies that represent best practices developed by immigrant-receiving countries to increase the economic contributions of immigration.
This report explores the migration patterns and demographics of Black African immigrants in the United States, examining their admission channels, human-capital characteristics, and labor market performance. The authors also provide an analysis of these immigrants' integration prospects.
While aspects of the U.S. immigration system facilitate newcomers' contributions to economic growth and competitiveness, others undermine them. Reforms are needed to enhance the job-creating power of U.S. employers and strengthen the system's ability to select effectively from the large pool of foreign workers.
The report examines U.S. immigration and international development policies, which have unique objectives and respond to distinct political and administrative constraints, and points out that international development has never been a U.S. immigration policy objective; nonetheless, it is an unintended consequence.
This edited volume addresses the impact of the economic crisis in seven major immigrant-receiving countries: the United States, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
This awards ceremony, honoring the 2011 recipients of the E Pluribus Unum Prizes — a national awards program for exceptional immigrant integration initiatives — featured panel discussions with the awardees and federal officials and remarks by White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Muñoz and Assistant Secretary of Education Brenda Dann-Messier.
The U.S. refugee protection system, while generous in many respects, has become less robust over the last two decades. The unique and often diverse needs of emerging refugee populations have exposed severe limitations in the standard resettlement approach.This report examines U.S. legal and policy responses to those seeking protection and addresses the barriers, gaps, and opportunities that exist.

Georgia finally got its first commitment for 2010 when Dalton defensive end Jalen Fields committed to the Bulldogs during UGA's Junior Day on Saturday.
"I told [Mark Richt] and he was hugging me and my family," Fields told the AJC. "Georgia is the place I want to be. I believe in [Richt] and Georgia. Coach Richt has already done so many great things at Georgia. I'm a hometown guy, so there was no need for me to look around anywhere else. Georgia is where I want to be, and it's an honor to be the first [commitment] for next year."
The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Fields picked UGA among seven offers, including Tennessee, Alabama, and FSU. Had Fields waited longer, he was expected to double or triple his scholarship offers.
"I like 'Coach O' a lot [Tennessee recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron], but Georgia was my first offer and my first love," Fields said. "I'm happy with Georgia, my family is happy with Georgia. That's where I want to be, and I'm finished with my recruiting. I'm glad to get it over with. Georgia is my dream school. Now I can focus on Dalton football and helping us be the best team we can be."
Fields, who is a junior, had told the AJC on that chances were high that he would give the Bulldogs an early pledge, and Fields delivered on his word on Saturday. "It's great to be a Georgia Bulldog. It doesn't get any better than this."
The first commitment for Georgia Tech's 2010 recruiting class was Collins Hill tailback Charles Perkins.
On Saturday, UGA also offered Tucker sophomore linebacker James Vaughters. [Click here to go to the story and see video of the sophomore sensation]

I dont know a lot about this guy, but he seems to be a good player based on the other schools that were recruiting him. The country is full of idiots unfortuantely theydont have to wear white sheets anymore, they can disguise themself and be even more dangerous. The Dawgs are certainly headed in the right direction. With as many skill position recruits as we got last year, the focus should be on the defense next year, the secondary in particular. Go Dawgs!

Do you believe that other schools' recruiting results were that much different? Seriously, take a second and think about LSU, Auburn, Florida, Texas, even Oklahoma. Thats just the reality of the situation. It doesn't make it right or wrong, its just the way it is. Not all of Coach Richt's recruits were black, and even though it shouldn't matter what color the kids are, I don't think it was 95% like you said, it was probably more like 65 or 70% if we're really going to have this discussion. I trust that Coach Richt is bringing in players that are the kind of kids that he wants to coach and win with. And knowing the kind of person that he and his asst. coaches are, I think that on the whole, those are good kids, regardless of their color. As for The University of Morehouse at Athens, you should find out the percentage of African American students among the entire student populous before you rename my school. I believe the percentage of black students at UGA is something like 8-10 percent. Which is actually a larger amount than when I was there, and I'm happy for that. Good for them, and good for anyone that goes to a good school to get an education or play football or do whatever. You seriously need to check yourself.

4 Stocks Rising On Unusual Volume
Bruker (BRKR) is engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing proprietary life science and materials research systems based on its core technology platforms. This stock is trading up 10% at $13.92 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 954,000
Average Volume: 691,806Volume % Change: 132% Shares of BRKR are soaring today after the company said its third quarter net income doubled, helped by easy comparisons to a prior-year period weighed down by more than twice as much in one-time charges. From a technical perspective, BRKR is gapping sharply higher here right off its 50-day at $12.65 and back above its 200-day at $13.96 with above-average volume. This move is quickly pushing BRKR within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once BRKR takes out some key overhead resistance levels at $13.85 to $14.29 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in BRKR as long as it's trending above today's low of $13.72, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 691,806 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then BRKR will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $15.75 to $17.01.

Japanese electronics manufacturer Funai has developed an LCD technology that does not require a backlight. Conventional LCDs produce images by shining a light through each liquid crystal pixel, and so the light source is mounted from behind. Funai's technology, however, allows outside light (sunlight, for example) to enter the LCD and reflect back out. As the light exits, the display lights up as if it were lit from behind.
Funai claims that this reduces electricity consumption to .16 mW per square centimeter – only 1% of the electricity consumed by a conventional LCD. The clarity of the image is reportedly good, and the usefull link buy kamagra reflective technology means that this new display is significantly clearer in sunlight, which is normally a challenge with most LCDs.
Commercialization of this screen is viagra without prescription in uk aimed for next year.

I wonder how the display would work in dim-light/darkness. Maybe there's a backlight option for such cases.
And yeah, it's 9 orders of magnitude. Almost slipped up, myself: 1 mW = 10^-3 W, 1 MW = 10^6 W.

The Blunder Years
December 1, 2008
Two-parter undergrad question: is it worth it to transfer? How can I stop from burning out?
In high school I spent a lot of time and energy buttressing my case for admission to an elite college. I took a ton of AP classes, got good marks on my ACT, cultivated recommendations, and did a few extracurriculars. It worked, and I was admitted to an extremely elite small liberal arts college on partial scholarship. Unfortunately, this didn't work out due to what can only be described as a massive collusion of at least five mostly unrelated factors and what might be lightly termed "blunders," and what's more, the story of what happened cannot be told without making me seem either insane or dangerous.
I am now attending my local state university, which I had expended all that effort in high school to avoid attending. To put it mildly, it lives up to my worst fears: the social atmosphere is suffocating, the professors are mediocre at best, and the entire city it is in is filthy and smells like dead things.
I could transfer, but I already am a Junior and I would have to do at least one addition year as most schools require two years worth of credit at their institution in order to graduate. Furthermore, my family's financial health, once robustly middle-class, has declined somewhat. Hence the first question: is it worth it to transfer to a place I might like? if so, can I get scholarship money? is there anywhere I can transfer to that won't ask too many questions about my past or will avoid asking for recommendations from my current institution?
Second question: if not, how can I prevent myself from burning out? I hate waking up every day here, and I find it harder and harder to engage myself in my schoolwork, but I'm afraid if I take time off I will simply never find the interest to return to college. For example, I have a large take-home test due tomorrow that I did not start until 9:30 tonight (it's 1:00 AM now) that so far has only one of ten questions answered. It's not quite a time management issue, since I spent a good amount of that time staring blankly at the materials and even more time just thinking about the test, nor is it anxiety, as I have been faced with similar positions before and met the challenge. It's obviously too late to save this test— luckily the professor's policies mean that there will be none-too-harsh penalties for late work— but how I can prevent myself from finding myself in this position in the future?
Possible relevant factors include being in a humanities major, taking classes year-round to get myself out of here faster, having a college GPA that hovers between 3.0 and 3.5, a desire to go to library school, living off-campus, having no car and not living in a public-transport friendly city, being otherwise unemployed, and already being in therapy, thank you very much.
Thank you for your answers. Anonymous on account of it revealing personal information that I am still trying to keep out of general circulation.

I think that you need to separate out your concerns/problems at your current school into things that have to do with this particular school versus you. The social atmosphere, professors and city might suck at the transfer school too. You might still be a procrastinator.
However, if you really want to, transfer. Fill out the FASFA and see what financial aid you can get and take out loans from the rest.
Every school's transfer policy is different. Recommendations and questions about your past? I don't think that this is normal.

er, the advice I can give you looking back on school from 20 years on is that no matter how bad college is, the real world is 100X worse, and that's on a good day.
buck up, stop fucking around, and do it for you. Make it a personal challenge to push your GPA as high as it will go when you graduate.
Start thinking of career paths if you haven't already and angle for a transition to an MA in information.

School debt is the best debt you'll ever find. Low apr and very kind lenders, as long as you stick with the subsidized federal loans. Your college of graduation will be with you forever, so I'd recommend finding one you want to go to. You seem fairly ambitious, so I think you'd forever regret not trying your damnest to get into a school of your choice, not the choice of your situation.
One more thing which struck me is to consider whether you really want to finish college. Do you have anything you're striving towards? Or are you just doing this because it's the thing to do?

Wow. Your story parallels mine on many levels. Very small liberal school ---> large state school. I burnt out and have left again, but it's technically on medical leave. You are closer than I am to finishing, and transferring would just prolong your misery in school.
My vote is to find something you enjoy doing [painting? standup comedy? knitting?] to offset the lack of interest in school. Then at least you have something to look forward to when your work is done. Get the degree and get out, especially if you have scholarship or grant money.
I find that the more I leave school, the less I want to come back. Stay in if you can, and MeFi mail me if you want to talk further.

Whatever you do, don't take time off. Consider that if you don't feel like being in school now and you take "time off" to live it up, travel, and have fun in general, you will probably feel even less like returning to school. You're a junior and fall semester is ending, so you only have three semesters left after this one - that's what, only 1.5 years? Just finish it up!

Two questions (transfer + limit disinterest) with a similar answer:
It depends on what you want (which is why you'll have a hard time getting clarity from answers on mefi - what you want is not something others can/should answer for you).
I am an attorney today, recently graduated from an excellent school (alums can guess from my user ID). While an undergrad, I worked as a college adviser in a local high school - I was the "Transfer: Makin' It Happen" coordinator so I have some experience with situations like yours in some sense.
Your work in high school was admirable, but it was essentially to show that you can work hard (AP tests, ACT) and have interests (extracurriculars) that will drive you in your career/job. Now that you've spent a couple/few years at State University, colleges will only look at your work and marks while in college. Nothing to be done about your prior excellent grades or that higher ranked college you were not able to attend. Your focus, and the focus of potential college admissions teams or employers, is now on your recent past and your goals for the future. A great college can be fun and improve you, but it is a means to an end - what will college get you? Personal improvement and experience at school is valuable, but for the vast majority of people college is a step in the progression toward a job - a good school means a better chance of finding a job that is interesting to you and rewarding (however you define that - financial, moral, fun, world changing, exciting, summers off, casual clothing allowed, by your own boss, etc).
That is what you must consider before making your move. If you want to be a lawyer, the school you go to matters in terms of where you can get into law school and then where you'll be able to find work. If you want to be a writer you may find more complex subject matter and experience at a larger school in a larger city. Stay close to home? Work in a particularly geographically focused field (fashion in NY, marine-biology along the California coast, etc)?
Your goals and career choices define whether or not transferring would be valuable for you.
If you're unhappy with your current college, consider what why you value the contrasting atmosphere - more intellectual? Cleaner? More rural? If those are values you prioritize, then consider where you can find work that will make achieving those priorities possible and which schools will provide the most support in finding that work.
Only you can decide whether an additional year of school will get you closer to your priorities, but my general advice would be that many people take more than 4 years to complete their degrees so that extra year should not be a deterrent. There will be a substantially higher cost, but as others have said, federal student loans are not the worst type of debt to take on and the returns on that investment in yourself are something only you can calculate. I would advise my students that they should consider schooling costs but don't let it prevent them from fulfilling their goals. Apply for scholarships (you can get more than you think!) and grants. Take on work study (college advising is a good work study job ;-). Live frugally. But do so with your priorities in mind and your goals in sight.
Burning out - I can't give this the attention it deserves, but for now I'll say this: by finding out what you aspire toward (individual priorities, careers, goals, or values) and working to achieve it you will be genuinely working on what interests you. If the motivation is not there, then try again after considering how that activity will get you toward your goals. If you're still not interested, consider whether something else would interest you more and if you should be working toward that alternative goal.
This is not easy - you cannot just say, "well, I want to be rich and retire early" then work really hard for the next 30 years. There has to be something more to your job and life than getting out of it, because there ain't much else beyond that. Think of the family you'll be able to raise, the parents you'll be able to comfort as they age, the friends you'll be able to make and enjoy. What do you see yourself doing with them all? If you're not doing it now or are not working toward that goal, re-evaluate how you can do so and jump up and do it!
As for your current procrastination, that's probably all it is. Get to work. There's no excuse for taking advantage of your professor's leniency, you're only slowing yourself down from getting to where you want to be. Read up on mefi or zenhabits or lifehacker on how to avoid procrastination and set incremental goals. It's not burn out, it's something we all deal with to varying degrees and with varying success. I had to put up a sign when studying for the bar exam that said: "Get back to work" ... couldn't get my eyes too far up from the pages when the first thing I saw was a message to look back down (and it worked).
Year round classes is a good idea - should save you money in the end and will get you more from your time at school than a couple months with a summer job back at home watching your friends/classmages drink and avoid drugs/marriage/depression/pie. Humanities is just as competitive as hard sciences in most ways, don't give yourself an out by suggesting that your field is not challenging enough - there's always someone you can be working toward in terms of skills and knowledge regardless of field. Make that a goal rather than making A-'s your goal.
Your GPA will limit you from some top tier schools. But extracurriculars or any means of demonstrated commitment and desire can get you much further than you'd expect. Genuine interest is hard to fake and will show through if you're applying to a school and filed you love. Therapy is just like going to any other doctor to deal with a problem and your transit problems will resolve themselves as time goes on. Bikes are cheap and amazing (and used at most colleges) - get on one =)
Best luck in finding your path, even this struggle is part of what gives your life meaning - if the choice were easy no one would be impressed when you actually reached your finish line.
Sorry for the cheesy parts ;-)

Second question: if not, how can I prevent myself from burning out? I hate waking up every day here, and I find it harder and harder to engage myself in my schoolwork, but I'm afraid if I take time off I will simply never find the interest to return to college.
From my experience - and believe me, I have experienced this - this feeling will never really go away. You can do as I did and find something that really excites you in that school, and throw yourself into it, or find another school that holds that sort of enticement for you.
The problem I ran into with doing the former (a job on campus in my case) was that it took precedence over nearly everything. That included my studies, my classes, degree-program related events... I eventually realized that even though I was miserable with most aspects of that school, I stayed for my job because I did it well, was recognized for it, and got approval from people who otherwise overlooked me. This included my major-related professors!
This summer I decided enough was enough. I'm in the process of transferring to another school, my second transfer. (Though, the first was for mostly different reasons...) Because of slow paperwork, I had to take a semester off, but I'm doing my best to get ready for January. I'm a little nervous, because I'm older than most students, and I will be adding some more time on my degree, but I'm excited too. I have a fresh slate in many ways. Even though this was not a school I dreamed about or even considered in high school, it's a good school with the programs I want to be involved in.
My advice to you is to do just what you're doing and think about your situation.
If you're truly unhappy, you need to do something about it. Things won't get better just because they "have to." Make a list. One side should read, "Good things about staying." The other, "Good things about [insert other college here]." Try to be as honest and non-exaggerative as possible. Weigh your possible paths.
You mention financial concerns. Keep up with your Fafsa. Always fill it out as soon as you can. That will help you get better loans and scholarships and grants if you're eligible. Also, try websites like
for additional scholarship opportunities. Taking some of the financial responsibility on your own shoulders is always an option if you're worried about being too much of a burden on your family. It seems daunting, but it can be much less complicated than people like to make it seem.
Also, you ask about recommendations and new schools checking up on you. In my experience (again...) schools ask for your transcripts and that's about it. If you have recommendations, they may not hurt, but many schools would accept you easily without them. I've never needed one, and my grades are very varied. (I'm a good student when focused, but like you, lose my enthusiasm, so to speak.)
So, look around. See what options are available to you. Try to find something on campus that you can really sink your teeth into and will get you back into the spirit of college. At the same time, look into other colleges. See if there's one with a really great library program, since you're interested, or a campus/community that will make it easy for you to live there without your own car.
Weigh your choices, talk to your friends and family (if possible) and try not to make any major decisions on a particularly frustrating day. (You can MeMail me if you need someone to bounce ideas off of.)
Good luck to you, I understand how conflicting the place you're in right now can be. Hopefully it works out for us both!

The state school you're at now sounds pretty miserable indeed. Of course I don't know which school you're talking about; however I will take a minute to point out that it is often possible to get more out of the Big State School experience than many people do.
Sadly, it's often the case that at larger state schools the default college experience consists of drinking and doing the minimum amount of work necessary to get a ticket to a decent job. But I'd encourage you not to assume that that experience is the only one possible at most big state schools.
At a larger school you have to take a more active role in finding a niche and getting the most of your education. I'd encourage you to ask yourself whether you've really explored all the possibilities before assuming that you can't find anything worthwhile where you are now.
Maybe you have, and it really is hopeless. But I'd be surprised. See if you can find honors seminars, or clubs that pertain to your interests or major. Talk with the professors you like most, to see if you can ones who are better. Look at the faculty profiles in your department and see what faculty look interesting, or match your own interests. Propose independent research projects. See if there are performance groups, or publications (literary or other) etc. at your college. Maybe you could take a graduate seminar or two.
Anyway, you may well decide that the experience and education you want is simply unavailable at the school you're now attending. But even at places that seem culturally dismal, there is often a critical mass of people doing interesting things underneath the radar of the wider campus monoculture.

The professors are mediocre at best
Give your profs the benefit of the doubt. They have PhD's, presumably, which means they themselves spent 8 to 10 years in the post-secondary system dreaming of academic glory only to wind up teaching a bunch of slugs in some big state school. I expect they have had the life sucked out of them, but maybe if the odd student who actually cared showed up they might spring back to life. Maybe you're that student?

I am yet to meet someone who enjoyed their undergrad. The social atmosphere is always suffocating because that's what happens when you have so many 19 year olds with undeveloped social skills discovering booze, love, and no parents. The professors seem mediocre at best because most of them are tired of dealing with said 19 year olds who care nothing about school or learning. If you actually enjoy being at school and learning, you should just study hard, finish up, and go to grad school. You only have 3 terms left anyways. Grad school is MUCH different from undergrad, in that most people around you actually want to be there, are passionate about their work, are more mature, and the professors care about you.

The final year of my undergraduate degree went by extremely fast - I was always busy doing something. With that in mind I would say: pushing on and finishing the course without transferring is your fastest way out of the university system.
At the moment you say you're staring at your test and not doing it; and you talk about the suffocating social atmosphere and the mediocre professors. Changing school would result in a different social atmosphere and professors, but that will only fix your inability to work if your inability to work is due to the social atmosphere and professors. Maybe it would be different at another school, maybe it wouldn't. On the other hand, finish up your course and leave the university system and the problem is gone for sure.

The professors are mediocre at best
Really? Or are you seeking out a mediocre student experience? By and large, the professors at top-ranked liberal arts colleges come out of the exact same graduate programs as the professors at large state universities. (The academic job market is tough, so just because you want that job at Amherst doesn't mean you won't take a job offered at a university in Buffalo.) Teaching is given a higher priority at a small college, often, and in that kind of tight environment it is harder to drift anonymously. And the campus environments couldn't be more different (partly because, as you found out, small colleges can be pretty ruthless in showing people to the door when things "aren't working out," whereas the big state U will probably let you keep hanging around as long as you keep paying tuition).
My point here is that you are blaming your depression and frustration and dissatisfaction on your surroundings -- on anything other than yourself. The city smells bad, your profs are crap, you don't have a car, and the other students are beyond crap. Well, ok... there definitely are cities that are famous for smelling bad, with a nice rendering plant or tire factory downtown. But the rest of it just sounds like you blaming internal problems on external factors.
Even at the most downtrodden of diploma mills (which I doubt your school really is) there are good, committed professors who love working with and supporting students. And even in the most caustic and stultifying of social environments there are really cool people who are stuck there just like you are, because of family, finances, or other reasons. And even that terrible diploma mill has a library that needs student workers, and volunteer programs that will help compensate for the imperfect GPA when you start applying to MLS programs next year.
Are you seeking any of these things out? If you aren't, blaming your problems on your environment strikes me as similar to staring at the blank test instead of working on it and blaming the professor for being mediocre. My guess is that with all of these things you are saying, "oh, I'm too cool for that, I'm so much more awesome than they are," and in doing that you are shooting yourself in the foot in a big way.
Honestly, you will do whatever you want to do. But the argument against transferring is pretty clear: time and money. If you stay, you are one year away from finishing, and starting next fall your energy will be going into applying to grad school. If you transfer, you have to spend hours and hours applying, then spend another year as an undergrad, try and quick make some connections to profs to get letters of rec, figure out a new system, etc, and then start the grad application process hopefully a year later.
And I think the advice about casually taking on additional student loans should be read with a great deal of caution. Student loan debt is tough, honestly, for all that you can call it "good debt." You still have to pay it, and high loan payments will mean that you can't take that cool-but-unpaid internship, or travel with your friend to India. Debt will constrain your future options in a big way -- think twice before doing this.

I am yet to meet someone who enjoyed their undergrad.
This is anything but true. I loved (and hated!) it (that kind of love-hate relationship being the norm at my undergrad university). Very few people I've met since
enjoy at least parts of their undergraduate years.
As others have said: make sure you're doing your best to take full advantage of all of the options at your university. Would raising your GPA so that you might make the cutoff for an honors program allow you to take smaller, more advanced classes with professors? Are there any interesting graduate classes or seminars you might want to sit in on? Are you going to office hours? Undergraduate research experience is harder to come by in the humanities, but are you trying to involve yourself in your field in other ways - through a major-related undergraduate organization, through the literary magazine, by getting a job (work-study or not) in the library? If there's not a literary magazine, or a library-related undergraduate organization, have you tried to start one? Have you considered getting a bike so that you'll be more mobile and able to participate in things? Have you checked out any student groups that might stereotypically be full of people not part of the "suffocating" social scene? Theater, computer clubs, humor magazines, live action role-playing gamers?
If you're not already trying to pursue some of these ways of making your life at Big State U. any better, transferring might not help at all. It's easy to find excuses not to do things; your excuses might just change to "it's too hard to make friends as a transfer," "God, all the kids here at Small Liberal Arts U. are rich and spoiled" or "NYC is filthy and smells like dead things too" or "all of the professors are too busy with their research for me to get to know them." And while the situation can make your procrastination worse, it won't go away in a new environment. It's something you've got to learn to work past.
This isn't to say that a transfer is automatically the wrong choice. If you've tried to talk with your Big State U. professors and been rebuffed, if they don't have student workers in the library, if the literary magazine isn't an option, well, switching schools might be an ansewr. It will, however, be a lot of hard work, time, and money. You will graduate late - note that lots of people do this, and it's not necessarily a bad thing, if you're improving your situation and bettering your chances of getting into grad schools. You just need to make sure that you're not going to switch schools and bring the same old problems with you. In the end, you are primarily responsible for the success or failure or your undergraduate years.

Is part of the problem related to your worrying about people at elite colleges having better opportunities than you or a better time? I went to an elite college and, in retrospect, there are lots of people who are doing a lot worse financially and career-wise than my friends who attended mediocre or less prestigious universities. Also, there are always people at every school who want to trade up. Don't let your ego get the better of you, especially when money is at stake.
Also, I have a friend who is a recruiter who says they are limiting their recruiting efforts to a couple of elite universities and a bunch of state schools, because they want to get the biggest bang for their recruiting efforts. They want to interface with as many people as possible before hiring and so they're paying attention to a lot of schools that aren't "prestigious" in the traditional sense.
The best thing about you that will always put you over the top is that you have the ability to work hard. A lot of students have never done that. I sincerely believe that will put you over the top in anything you want to do in the future. I just really hope there's a way for you to have positive experiences at your current school.
Make sure you try to make lots of good friends, because that really counts when you're looking for a job/opportunities in the near future.

I transferred after my sophomore year (which was effectively my junior year, considering AP credits), and it was a major pain in the ass. I ended up finishing college in five years instead of the three I would have taken at the original, state school.
I wanted to go to a school with better resources where the research that was going on was more cutting edge, but what I didn't realize is that engaged, driven students are much easier to come by at such universities. It ended up taking me a lot longer to get involved in fruitful research, as I had to adjust to a new environment and scramble to satisfy redundant basic requirements that I had already essentially completed at my original college.
Consequently, it has taken me much longer to get to the point where I am a competitive applicant to graduate schools. That isn't to say that there weren't benefits as well as costs to my transfer, but if your goal is to pursue further education in library science, realize that satisfying undergrad requirements at the school to which you transfer may take away time you could apply now to working at making yourself an attractive MLS candidate.
Like Forktine said, I'm sure there are willing and able professors at your current institution with whom you can get some excellent work done. If you're looking for a challenge, perhaps you could do an independent study? Sometimes it takes a while to find the professors who are doing work that's up your alley, but I imagine you'd feel a lot less burnt out if you could get involved with some research.
Good luck!

A bill to allow election-day voter registration in California was signed into law Monday by Governor Jerry Brown. The measure will not affect this year's election; it will take effect on January 1, 2013 and will likely not be implemented until 2015, when a voter database known as Vote-Cal is expected to launch. Studies have found that same-day registration boosts voter turnout by an average of seven percentage points. "While other states try to restrict voters with new laws that burden the process, California allows voters to register online — and even on Election Day," Brown said in a statement. California joins ten other states that have some form of election-day registration.
