Hey cool, you made it to my start page!

Consider this page to be your guiding light through the tangled mess that is my blog. If you’re totally new here, you’ll get an idea of what posts to start with, depending on your goals. If you’re aren’t new, you get a picture of me about to get hit by a train. You also get a page you can send to your friends (non-subtle hint).

So, What the Heck is This Site?

“At either end of the educational spectrum, there lies a hacker class.” – Reginald Braithwaite

That quote basically summarizes what College Info Geek is all about. I started this site because I’m the kind of person who likes to challenge assumptions and find better ways to work. I wanted to share my discoveries, so I began blogging.

You can get a more in-depth overview about this site’s purpose over at the About page. For now, though, I recommend you read through this page and get a feel for what’s available to cram into your brain.

First Things First.

Join my email newsletter. There’s an opt-in form just below this text, and I want you to put your email address into it and get involved.

“Why in tarnation would I want to do that?” – You

Well, I’m glad you asked. (Questioning everything is something I highly advocate)

Essentially, you should join my email list because it’s literally the best way to connect with me. I know that building relationships with other awesome people is one of the most rewarding things we can do, and I think doing this newsletter is the best way of getting to know you, the reader.

Also, I sometimes send out exclusive content that no one else will get.

Hey look, I even have social validation!

To be clear: joining the list does not compromise your email. I will never share it, sell it, or print it out to use for toilet paper. Also, you can unsubscribe from the list at any time, though that would just be dumb.

So, ready to get started? Sign up below.


Ok cool! Whether you chose to sign up or not, we can move on to the next section now.

The Best Posts!

Right now, there are 339 posts in the Archive. That’s a lot to go through, so I’ve created a few lists of posts that you should start with if you’re new. Let’s go!

The Cornerstones

These are my two “general college tips” list posts, and out of everything here, they are the most jam-packed with college hacking knowledge.

The High-Maintenance One

Ok, so I actually made this a page, but it’s built like a post. It’s my list of books that I feel are the most ridiculously valuable and useful reads for college students. I update this list regularly, so come back to it when you need something new to bury your nose in.

The Fan Favorites

These posts are the most popular on College Info Geek. Read them if you want to be one of the cool kids.

The Prized Collection

These posts might not be as popular as the ones above, but I really like them and hope you’ll check them out.

The Exclusive Interviews

From time to time, I do interviews with notable people. Here are the best ones.

The Tunes

One of my main focuses on this blog for quite some time has been reviewing music. I do this once a week; sometimes I review an entire album, and sometimes I’ll make a playlist with content from lots of artists. Here are my favorite ones – check them out and improve your taste in music.

This should be a good start to your journey through College Info Geek. If you have an questions or just want to talk:
