Q: college student?
here's the deal. I'm a college student and eat in the dorm because I have a meal plan. I'm trying to lose 15 lbs but it's hard when I don't like some of the food or it's not healthy. Please I need ideas on what is healthy that I can eat and lose weight!

A: I can definitely understand why you're concerned, as college dining halls contain so many high fat and calorie delights right at your fingertips. Anyway, I would suggest any one of the following for each meal: Breakfast: 1. plain oatmeal with fruit, nuts, milk, and/or honey 2. 1/2 bagel (no cream cheese or very, very thin layer) use PB instead. Jam or cottage cheese are good, too. 3. eggs (be careful though, they may be cooked in bad oil, resulting in a high fat breakfast disguised as healthy) 4. cereal (healthy, not sugar cereal) 5. fruit 6. coffee Don't choose the sugary, sweet or high fat breakfast items. This includes pancakes, pastries, omelets with excessive cheese and butter, etc. Lunch: 1. sandwich (no mayo, try mustard instead or get used to dry) 2. salad (dark, leafy greens. Light dressing or supplement oil or a small spoonful of potato salad. It gives just enough moisture and flavor, without the empty calories) 3. grilled meats and veggies (once again, stay informed on the cooking process. Cooking in oil and fat are not effective for a succesful weight loss plan) Meats that are low fat and high in nutrition are lean, white chicken or turkey and fish. Tofu is great too. 4. soup (stay away from anything cream based-- chowders, bisques, or ask!) 5. Taco bar: choose black beans or pinto beans, stay away from refried (fatty) and excessive cheese and sour cream. Stick to a few chips and salsa and pile on the lettuce, beans, and some cheese. Skip the tortilla or shell if this is a daily choice. Dinner: Same as lunch Dessert/Snakcs: Frozen yogurt is always the best way to go. Yummy! Hope this helps! Remember: steer clear of refined white flour and sugar, as it turn to fat fast! Don't be afraid of healthy fats (nuts, oils, fish, meats, avacado, cheese, milk, etc. as it stores as protien and energy, not fat). Go easy on the white bread, rice, sugar cereal, starchy pastas, and potatoes. And lastly, everything is fine in moderation. Let yourself enjoy your food. If you hate brown rice, don't eat it. Eat white instead, just eat less of it and more veggies and protien. good luck!

Q: Why would a college student want to volunteer for an overnight fundraiser event for AmericanCancerSociety?
Relay for Life is an overnight team fundraising event to cure cancer and provided services to cancer patients. Some college students in our area said "there was nothing in it for them". Do you have any suggestions of what would make a college student interested in participating in such an event?

A: Obviously those who make those comments are self absorbed beyond all redemption...well almost all redemption. Remind them that cancer could strike them or someone they love and perhaps they might rethink their position? Or, you could offer a large pizza to the biggest fund raiser? Pizza was always a winner when I went to school!

Q: What if a college student has a final exam and they are suppose to study and they dont want to?
Let's just say the college students says they are going to study at 8pm well by the time 8pm comes the student starts to whine and says "I dont wanna study, maybe tomorrow." Why the student delays her study time? What makes the her do that? Does that means she is lazy? Please explain and let me know what u think.

A: Wow Rawalt is a b*tch. Anyway, does she complain about it and then actually study? I know I whine about studying plenty but I get it done. Who LIKES studying anyway. BUT it has to get done. It doesn't mean she's lazy, I understand you have to be in a pretty good mindset to really buckle down and get some serious studying done. Everyone whines now and then, college age, older, or younger. It's like a last resort, I have nothing else to do so I'll whine about what I have to do...and then do it. If she DOESN'T study and just whines about it, well then she's an idiot.

Q: What you believe a college education should be for a community college student? Any exceptions?
One of the differences of opinion about college education is whether it should represent what faculty thinks students should know, what students want to know, or both. And the differences is between what is often called "liberal arts" and what others call "pre-professional education" . So, What you believe a college education should be for a community college student? Any exceptions?

A: I'm not entirely certain that there is a difference between a liberal arts or a pre-professional degree. I'm only a community college student, myself, aiming for that liberal arts degree/pre-professional ? (Associate in Arts) But here is what my college requires: English composition 6 hrs. (1 & 2) Speech Algebra Possibly another math / statistics(depending on your intended profession, I suppose) Humanities 6 hrs or more American History Biology & Biology lab (or another science discipline) 30-40 + hours of electives, again depending on your intended profession

Q: How can a college student with no experience learn construction skills?
I'm a 21-year-old college student. I have the dream of eventually building my own house, but I don't have any of the skills needed. A friend says construction companies will take novices (paying about 7ish dollars an hour). Is this true? How else might I learn these skills?

A: Find you a job with a well experienced construction contractor, you will be paid low, but you will learn by time.

Q: Can a college student that hasn't been claimed by her parents file for a tax refund?
Can a college student file for a Educational tax credit even though she hasn't worked at all?

A: If you had no income, some one is paying for your support. If your parents are paying over fifty percent of your support, they should claim you. If they haven't, they should file amended returns for the past 3 income tax years, Federal and State, and get their money. You cannot file for an educational tax credit because that is not "refundable". That's IRS terminology for the four credits that you can receive in part, even though the credits knocked your income below zero. You did not mention that you had dependents, so you would not be eligible for the earned income credit nor the child care credit.

Q: Does a college student have to send in a FAFSA application?
I'm in college and need financial aid to afford it. But I am not sure whether I have to send in a FAFSA application or can I just take out a private student loan to pay for my college. The money I get from the FAFSA doesn't cover all of my college expenses anyways, and I need to apply for an additional loan through a private loaner regardless. So is it okay for me to only apply for a private loan and to not even bother with a FAFSA? If anybody has any information on this topic please post an answer. Thank you.

A: Well you don't ever HAVE to apply for FAFSA. It is just an option. But in my opinion any free money hel is welcomed!! You should apply and then take the loan with what ever else you need. Good luck

Q: Would such a high school age student be considered a homeschooled student or college student?
We are looking into a full time college program for our high school aged homeschooler for his Jr. and Sr. year. He is currently a rising Sophomore. The program is part on-campus and part online and leads to an associates degree. This is not really a dual enrollment program although we could probably structure it as such. Would such a student be considered a homeschooled student and therefore subject to the same laws as any homeschooler or would such a student be considered a college student and therefore not subject to the same laws?

A: It depends on how you want to structure it and how many credits he'll have under his belt at the end of sophomore year. If he has enough credits to graduate next spring/summer, he can - and would be considered a college student. There's no hard and fast rule that says that high school has to be stretched over 4 years...it's just how things are done, traditionally. If he has enough credits for you to award his diploma, and it would logistically make things work better, you can do that. He would be a high school grad on his way to college. If he won't have enough credits and/or you feel that his maturity is not such that you feel comfortable awarding that diploma, I would say to treat it as dual enrollment. His college credits would double as high school credits, and he would still be considered a high school student, subject to the laws of your state. I'm glad you brought this up...it got me thinking. We'll be there in a few years, as well! Oy... :)

Q: What kind of small business do you think I college student could start?
I am a full-time college student already looking to start my own business. But since I am in school I haven't really developed any specific skills in which to start a business. I am just looking for ideas of what everybody thinks a college student would be good at.

A: No matter what your age or experience/skills, I'd always advise you to start a business doing something you love! The reason is simple: there'll be a smaller learning curve - you'll have to learn the business side of things, but at least you'll have a headstart on the actual core stuff. For example, if you enjoy cooking, you could start a business related to that - catering, cooking "special" items for parties, etc. Or if you enjoy writing, then eBooks would be an obvious starting point for you. And so on. If you're into sports, do something with that. If you're an avid video-gamer, and good at it, try putting up one of those websites that tell people how to play specific games to get a higher score, etc. There are hundreds of opportunities. It all depends on what YOU love to do! Good luck, FF
