College students order out almost every week because we don't have time to cook, too lazy to cook, the food from cafe taste bad and all that (you know!). Not all the food are safe to eat even though they may taste good. This tuna sushi is one thing that you need to be careful. Recently,on The New York Times, labotory test found that tuna sushi serving in restaurant have a high mercury levels. The mercury level that a few pieces of tuna sushi contained is higher than the levels considered acceptable by human body. So watch out when you order next time.

How to save a $ on college textbook

I don’t believe that any college student will doubt with the fact that the college textbook is getting REALLY REALLY expensive. I personally spent well over $500 dollars on books for first semester. How to buy book cheap become essential for all the college students (unless … there is always an unless). Buying second-book is definitely a good start for college students. But where to find second-hand book? Buying old books from upper classmen who attend the same college as you do, relatives, and friends are some of the possible solutions. Always remember, we live in 21st century, there is a thing called internet. These websites allow you to compare the prices of the book from different website. http://www.campusbooks.com/ and http://www.allbookstores.com/. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Alibris etc. are all good choices. Just one last caution, if you needed the book soon, don’t rely on ebay because you never know who will win the bid.
