Spears and K-Fed settle
Finally something good appears on the horizon for Britney Spears: her settlement with Kevin Federline is complete.
The much-talked-about couple signed papers last week, having reached what sources say is a “global divorce settlement on all issues of their marriage, which includes the custody of their two children.”
All I have to say about this one is that I hope this is the first step of many more great decisions on Spears’ part, and I hope she turns her life around after losing it big (being in rehab with a shaved head). Without the beloved K-Fed, or Fed-ex as many of us have grown to say, the best may be ahead for Britney.

Catch up on oscar-worthy movies
With the Academy Awards behind us and a new season of movies hitting the big screen, the big names of last year are finally arriving at rental locations near you, giving you the perfect opportunity to catch up on all the buzz of 2006.
However, expect the unexpected.
It can be rough watching a movie that has won numerous awards, since you may find that it doesn’t quite live up to the expectations you have of oscar-worthy movies.
Take “The Departed” for instance. While the movie went on to win Best Picture, I must say the film is quite slow and only finally blows audiences away in the last 20 minutes. This shortcoming can be compared to many other titles with awards under their belts, so take some advice - while awarding-winning films seem appealing, be cautious: you may be in for an upsetting experience.

Milking the freebies
Going cheap can be fun, it is just a matter of knowing what to do and where to go in order to milk such benefits.
To darken up that spring break tan, try checking out a few of the local tanning salons. Many of these places offer a free first tan, and some places up to three - giving you a chance to get what you want with no charge.
The same goes for working out. Many gyms in the area offer people a free first visit to see if you like the place before signing a contract, so make the rounds and I’m sure you can find at least five new places to work out before having to cough up any money at all.
These are just two examples of the opportunities awaiting college students with small budgets, so get out there and milk the community for all it’s worth.

Back to the school routine

The long weeks will be grueling, but here are a few things to keep in mind while finishing up the year to keep you entertained:
Get outside, catch a show and lastly, stay on top of school work. Get through it and start planning one exciting summer.
