10 MOST CREATIVE CHEATERS IN COLLEGE HISTORY
1 / 0
 
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2012/03/04/10-most-creative-ch...
As much as we’d all like to think that college students are a population of entirely upstanding and moral young adults, the fact is that most students will engage in some form of serious cheating during their college careers. According to a study at Duke University, a whopping 70% of college students have committed serious acts of cheating. With papers available for download online and cheat sheets available for purchase on nearly every college campus, we imagine that the temptation to cheat is simply too easy to give in to for some overwhelmed students.While many students will rely on tired old methods like copying and pasting content from the internet and leaking answer sheets before exam day, there are some students who are actually quite creative in their risky endeavors. Of course, since we know about them, it means they were caught, so obviously they weren’t quite creative enough. And we can’t help but wonder, if they were motivated enough to come up with such creative schemes, why couldn’t they just do the work? Still, we do relish in hearing about some of the funny and downright impressive ways some students have tried to beat the system, and we bet you will, too.

As a kid, theme parks were one of the best ways to spend a day. You could hug giant, talking animals, stuff your face with funnel cakes, and then ride roller coasters until you started feeling queasy. Once you reach adulthood, though, the parks lose their charm. All you can see are the long lines, high prices, and sweaty old ladies in skimpy clothing. If you find yourself at an amusement park as a jaded adult, just count your blessings. At least you're not at one of these 10 theme parks, ranging from militant to just plain strange. They're sure to have you yearning for Disneyland.

The 10 Biggest Book Burnings in Literary History
1 / 0
http://www.bachelorsdegreeonline.com/blog/2012/the-10-bigges...
Slow news days often seem to involve some story or another about literary burnings in America and abroad, with the Harry Potter series and the Qur'an seemingly popular targets for reactionary moral guardians these days. Their torches and (usually metaphorical) pitchforks stem from millennia of censorship and colonialism. As human nature pushes some to destroy or suppress what they can't understand, book burnings often lead to future frustrations, as academics and other interested readers eventually lose out on valuable scholarly resources. These book burnings represent massive destruction of history and culture, but their impact makes us remember landmark literature, some of which might very well have improved humanity's lot had they only survived.

8 Things That Aren’t Worth Giving Up for Lent

It's that special time of the year again when Catholics and non-Catholics alike give up food and other indulgences as a form of penance. Although Lent is intended to commemorate Christ's sacrifices and strengthen one's spiritual life, it has become more or less a second attempt at failed New Year's resolutions and an excuse for a crash diet. Whatever your reasons are for observing Lent, you should think long and hard about the kind of sacrifices you're willing to make and how successful you'll be at following through for the long 40 days and 40 nights.

http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2012/02/21/the-10-most-generou...
For most of us, donating even a few hundred dollars to an alma mater is a pretty big financial commitment. Yet for some seriously successful grads that’s chump change, as they pay back colleges and universities for helping them succeed to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, stock, or valuable items. In the past, these generous donations have helped do everything from start a new college to build state-of-the-art facilities for students and faculty to use and were undoubtedly much appreciated by the recipients. While there have been many generous donations to colleges over the years, we’ve highlighted here a few of the most amazingly philanthropic.
