I literally have no regrets from college. I had FUN. I made life-long friends, I took advantage of every fun activity SW Montana has to offer, and even managed to sneak a little studying in. Met the love of my life there, too! A new survey asked people to name their biggest regret from college [...]

It’s been a whirlwind and well-documented year for Scotty McCreery with his ‘American Idol‘ win, his No. 1 hit album ‘Clear As Day,’ his busy touring and interview schedule and the time he reserves for family and friends.

Here are some easy tips that may help your child stand out (or not stand out--depending) to those people reading the applications.

Back To Coledge….

Russell Damm — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:46:55 +0000

Yes I know I misspelled college.... Believe it or not, I passed my English class! School starts back up on Wednesday. So the influx of the Bozeman population starts again. The first week is always so boring. Teachers hand out the syllabus and tell you what's going to happen throughout the semester, then you do nothing and pretty much waste three days of vacation.
