Only two caveats: one, whenever I am faced one of those magazines of a certain thickness (such as "modern woman" or "Vanity Fair") I can not help but read it, I do not know if due to a latent streak of masochism, or the belief that nothing is harmless junk and anything to communicate a message, two, take for example an article taken from a "women's magazine" not because it believes that only women are the target of a certain type of magazines ("Men's Health" offers as its only argument possible for men muscles and mufflers) but only because I happened to read for the first time in a "women's magazine."

So here is the masses of students, with preparations increasingly precarious and rough, that crowd and jostle for those 5 credits, those 5 additional coupons that will allow him to claim the super-premium collection of their academic awards: a transition to the third year in a tight . Because now even the university is set on the "fast-forward, you do not live and metabolize what you study, but we want to go farther and faster than anyone else! About
