Earth day was founded in the early 1970’s by Gaylord Nelson, a United States senator, and according to EARTHDAY.org it’s now celebrated in about 175 countries. There is a lot of focus on earth day this year as the green movement continues. eCampus.com is trying to do our part. We offer eTextbooks which, obviously, use no paper. No Paper, No dead trees. Along with these ideas I’d like to offer you a few more that we’ve come up with. Don’t fret, I know that the newest green technology can be very expensive, and I’m just as broke as you. Here are a few things you can do to help the earth, feel good about yourself, and not spend any money!
- Help out at your local park. Using findlocalparks.com you can find the locations of your local parks. Some have phone numbers, use that number, call and tell them you want to volunteer. A little yard work never hurt anyone, but it did help mother earth!!
- Don’t drive your car. Run, walk, jog, ride a bike, take a bus. Anything you can do to reduce your daily emissions. Earth week is only one week of a year, sacrifice, its for the earth…Really.
- Try and recycle “everything” you use on earth day. Now college students don’t get carried away. No reusing toilet-paper…Please

eCampus.com has your safety in mind. From our McAfee secure site that passes an intensive daily security scan to our completely VeriSign secured checkout process. But that’s not the end of it, we want you to stay safe when social networking and creating new relationships in college. With that being said I’d like to let you in on a few tricks to watch out for, don’t get duped. We’ve already talked about configuring your privacy settings which will make your profile much secure, so today ill tell you how to screen new friend requests. We know you might not remember last night so here are a few clues to know if he/she is the real deal.
- Check for mutual friends – this is the best way to know because its likely that you met this person through a friend or at a social gathering, so they should have mutual friends of yours that might help you remember.
- Look for pictures – in this day and age people often keep pictures private but if there aren’t any it’s quite likely that you’re looking at a ghost profile or some kind of a prank. Don’t let your friends get you.
- Is the person too Hott for you?? – No offense but if Megan Fox friends you it’s probably not real, we all have goals but lets be realistic.
- The final and most important thing to watch out for is The FACEBOOK CROP – This evil maneuver has been used since the days of MySpace. You’ve seen it, were naming it. Here are the warning signs to look for:
- -Every picture is neck/cleavage up
- -The chin is usually extended to hide an unsightly double chin
- -Kissy face, the kissy face brings the cheeks in for another illusion of slimness
- -Lookout for Photoshop effects on the picture, its just another way to hide who they really are
-Watch out for funny camera angles, check out this hilarious video for some insight into “The Angles” The Myspace Movie

College is tough, not just academically but as you know it can be seriously tough financially as well. One place where college students tend to spend a lot of money is food. Face it, we love to eat out, we love our chipotle and delivery pizza, but you’re looking at about $10 a person for either of these options. Then there’s the cafeteria, somehow professors love it, I say eww. I’ve got a few cool, delicious, and super cheap recipe ideas to hit you with. Try them and let us know what you think.
1. Mom’s tomato Mac – serves 4 for less than 2 dollars!!
Ingredients:
- 1 Box Macaroni noodles
- 1 Can, Diced tomatoes
- Sugar, salt, pepper
Boil the macaroni until it is tender to your liking then a teaspoon of sugar, salt and pepper. Stir, and then add the diced tomatoes. Simmer for about 1 min, cool and serve.
2. Totino’s Pepperoni Chicken Pizza
I know what you’re thinking… It can’t be done, Well it can be. Heres the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 Totino’s Pepperoni Pizza
- ½ pack of Chicken Flavored Ramen noodles
Just cook your pizza in the oven and crumble up the dry noodles. When the pizza is complete add the noodles and ½ of the ramen chicken seasoning packet. Bam! The Totino’s Pepperoni Chicken Pizza.
3. The Seanwich
Yeah, I invented this one. When I was 8. It stuck with me until college and thankfully so, it super cheap and easy.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 Banana
- Peanut butter
- Jelly
Toast the bread and add peanut butter and jelly. Next, add the cheese to the peanut butter side. Slice up the banana and add it to the jelly side. Sandwich the two together and cut in half. Serve with your favorite Doritos.
