When I was applying to colleges, I was looking for a place that would be good for running. Don’t get me wrong — I was interested in academic rigor, good food and all those good things you find in brochures, but the opportunity to run recreationally was essential. During my college visits, I ran on a trail that displayed images of the planets at proportional distances from one another at theUniversity of Wisconsin; I ran beside an endless strip mall near the University of Virginia; and I ran concentric laps around Duke University’s East Campus. I didn't want to simply take the word of admissions offices when they say that there are good places for students to run on campus — I wanted to experience it for myself; like seeing, running is believing.

Fifty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, an event that is the subject of this year's Academy Award-nominated film “Selma.” One scene of the film featured a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it portrayal of Malcolm X, the controversial civil rights activist and African-American Muslim minister. Malcolm X’s small role in the film mirrors the muted attention the forthcoming anniversary of his death has thus far received; the outspoken human rights advocate and Muslim minister was assassinated on February 21, 1965, 50 years ago this month.

Does your five-year plan include finance or consulting? After a number of surveys, follow-up surveys and focus groups, the University has come to the conclusion that there are indeed students whose answer to this question is “No.” In response, the University offered “Beyond Wall Street” and related programming to provide students with exposure to “alternative” career paths. While these programs have been small steps for man and giant leaps for Princeton-kind, some questions still remain: “But what if my career plans also don’t include changing the world via a nonprofit?” “What if they don’t even include graduate school?” If these anonymous questions submitted via feedback survey to Career Services are your own, don’t worry — you have been heard. Despite your questionable choices in regard to your future, there are still jobs out there. The following are a preview of Career Services’ new alternative job database, which will go live later this spring.

Valentine’s Day. It’s the holiday that isn’t really a holiday; it’s the day single people love to hate. On the flip side, it’s also an excuse to eat tons of heart-shaped chocolates and appreciate the people you love. It’s no secret that restaurants and stores love to promote Valentine’s Day. While flowers, chocolates and expensive dinner dates may be considered the “go-to” romantic splurges, there are in fact a ton of other cheap and awesome activities that can be just as fun (and tasty!). Better yet, the following things can be done with anyone, whether or not your chosen companion is a significant other, friend or family member. So, lace up your snow boots, stash the credit card and get ready for a Valentine’s Day that’s better for your wallet — and your health (no significant other necessary)!
