Office Citation Manager

Citation Manager on previous versions of Office were fussy to use and hard to find. But when I started my most recent paper on Office 2008 for Mac (2007 for Windows), I typed all the information for my sources into the manager. Then, when I needed a footnote or parenthetical citation, all I had to do was double-click. The best part came when I finished my paper: With three clicks, I magically added a complete bibliography to the end.

"Gossip Girl" on the CW, Mondays at 8

Hey Dartmouth, Gossip Girl here. Summer and Marisa, I mean, Blair and Serena are finally back after that most unfortunate writer's strike. Though the outfits aren't quite back up to par yet, the drama definitely is. The acting is abysmal, and the morality as loose as last season's trapeze dress; still, watching the CW's "Gossip Girl" is oh so satisfying. Actually, maybe the uninitiated shouldn't watch, since this TV confection is as addictive and tooth-rotting as those chocolate peanut butter bars in the Collis cooler on Fridays.

Hulu.com

Finally a website with an enormous selection of TV shows, movies and videos that is actually legal. The annoying commercials are well worth the guarantee that every clip posted is actually there, in English, every time you want to watch. Now the only question is, with choices ranging from "Dude Where's My Car?," old "Celebrity Jeopardy" clips, the newest episodes of The Office and the entire first season of "Temptation Island," who has enough time to Facebook stalk that girl in your Geography class you've never met before?

"The Geography of Bliss" by Eric Weiner

Everybody who has ever traveled or wants to travel should read this book. It's that good. Eric Weiner is a NPR foreign correspondent who, using the emerging field of positive psychology and the World Database of Happiness (yes, you read that correctly; it's in Rotterdam, the Netherlands -- you should go), embarks upon "one grump's search for the happiest places in the world." Between reading about the Swiss' love of chocolate and the Thai's multiple kinds of smiles, you might even discover how you can be happy yourself.
