Back to the grind... Guys, we have some bad news ... as you've probably noticed, school is about to start back up once again. Instead of crying over the end of everyone's favorite season and the omnipresent workload, we've decided to go into it with a positive frame of mind this year. With that in mind, we've come up with a list of 5 tactics to ensure you get the best grades yet in all of your classes this semester.   Stay Organized Whether your organizational weapon of choice is a giant calendar, iPhone, or agenda, staying organized is crucial for a successful semester. Not only will you be able to track important dates and schedule studying time, but with a standardized scheduling system, you will have peace of mind due to a direct overview of all of your tasks, commitments, and due dates.   Find your Workflow One of the hardest parts of getting your semester in order is finding your workflow. From in-lecture reviews, reading, writing assignments, and studying for tests/quizzes/exams, it's no secret that students are bombarded with work. However, figuring out which ways you work best make tackling this workload a breeze. Map out your workflow, and stick with it! Need some extra guidance? Try using Trello.   Schedule Studying Time This goes without saying, the more you study, the better you will do on exams and tests. Even if it's once a week to review the notes you've taken and concepts you've covered in your lecture, scheduling study time is an inherently critical activity when aiming for high grades. You'll be thanking yourself when you no longer feel the need to stay up all night, cramming for the next morning's midterm. No matter how many classes you're taking on this semester, scheduling study time will help you get that A! Do you prefer studying on-the-go? Check out Cram (thank us later).   Live Healthily This probably isn't the first you're hearing of a healthy lifestyle being relative to good grades. This is because proper sleep and healthy food ensure your brain is in an optimal state to learn and retain information, and your energy levels are where they should be. Nothing's worse than feeling drained and still having a 3-hour lecture to attend before going home...   Attend your Classes Ok, this one goes without saying, yet may be the hardest of them all. Attendance and good grades are inextricable from one another. Despite cold wintery mornings, getting out of bed and to class is guaranteed to improve your grades. Feeling like skipping out on some readings? All the more reasons to get your butt to classes! You won't regret it.   What are your favorite tricks to ensure good grades in your classes?

Like so many before us, prosperity has been found time and time again among budding young entrepreneurs and inventors alike. In fact, countless world business leaders realize how important it is to inspire young entrepreneurs and have implemented programs to motivate young people to chase their dreams and become the next generation of business leaders. And yet, there's never been a better time to be a young entrepreneur. Not only because so much support and resources are available, but some colossal news has just been announced. According to Product Hunt this week only, serial (and Canadian!) entrepreneur Elon Musk has announced the Bored Elon Seed Fund. For one week only, all entrepreneurs and inventors have a chance to pitch their ideas to Elon Musk via Twitter, with the top 3 ideas receiving seed funding from the technology mogul himself So why does this program have us declaring the best week ever to have a business idea? Well, it turns out that the seed funding is quite significantly, 5 million for the top 3 ideas. Better yet, Elon himself is taking 0% equity of the winners' companies. 0%. This is truly a blessing for anyone hoping to start a company! What are you waiting for? Brainstorm your best business ideas and pitch it to @elonmusk on Twitter today. This just may be the start of a new career! Let us know what you think about this effort in the comment section below or by tagging @stcathys on social media. Read Elon's full statement here.

Straight out the 6. World renowned Candian rapper Drake is about as familiar with investing in projects and partnering with companies as he is with promoting his home base, Toronto (#sixvibes). From the Sher club and Virgina Brand Whiskey to investing in tech start ups and acting as a brand ambassador for the Raptors, Drake has embarked on countless business ventures while building his brand. But you'll never guess what his latest LA-based project is... Drake's latest thing is literally paying for giant billboards all over LA. What do these billboards say you may wonder? Well, they're promoting Canada's ability to get along wih one another - how relevant. Although these billboards are actually an ad campaign to promote his latest OVO merch, kudos to Drake for showing his Canadian pride (and maybe inspiring some envy among our southern neighbours). These billboards have caused a slight bit of controversy for LA residents and Americans in general - from capitalizing on tragedy as a promotion tool to the word Canada not being capitalized, these signs seem to be making people mad. That being said, we love them! What do you think about Drake's latest ad campaign? Let us know what you think in the comment section below or by tagging @stcathys on social media.
