Grab a Delicious On-the-Go Juice + Jamba Juice Giveaway!

This post brought to you by Jamba Juice. The content and opinions expressed below are that of College Gloss.

Living in Washington, DC, I'm always on the go and trying to get from one place to another. Being able to grab a healthy juice to go is a huge bonus. Over the weekend, I was at Union Station to pick something up and went into the Jamba Juice there to grab a drink. The citrus kick immediately caught my eye: it's a blend of blend of oranges, apples, pineapples, and ginger. I actually haven't had anything from Jamba Juice besides their smoothies, but I'm always down for some on-the-go fresh juice.


It was really good. You could taste all the fruits, and it was quite the delicious combination. I also loved the small kick at the end that the ginger gave. And I'm not usually a huge health nut, but these juices definitely get a bonus point because they are not only delicious, but also healthy, paleo and fresh pressed. There are no preservatives and are 100% juice!

I have to admit, I haven't yet jumped on the cold pressed juice bandwagon, but this juice might be making me change my mind.

The Jamba Juice I went to just had the first four flavors listed below, but apparently there are more healthy and delicious juices coming our way.
  • Tropical Greens:
    • For a truly tropical flavor, we’ve combined apples, pineapples, Supergreens, and Chia seeds. This is one island that will never be deserted.
  • Citrus Kick:
    • When you really want to bring up the brightness in your day, try this blend of oranges, apples, pineapples, and ginger. Just don’t forget your sunglasses.
  • Veggie Harvest:
    • Take some apples. Then take some carrots, and beets, and super greens and ginger. Then take a minute to drink it all down and wonder how you ever got through your day without it.
  • Orange Reviver:
    • When your day feels like 5 days, revive with an Orange Reviver. We’ve taken oranges, apples, bananas, beets and Chia seeds and turned them into a spirit-lifting, taste bud-hugging masterpiece of mixology.
  • Garden Medley:
    • Is there such a thing as too many servings of vegetables? Not when they make up a melodious medley like this. Try one and enjoy delicious, perfectly portioned vegetables and a splash of apple, all living together in perfect harmony. Just like Mother Nature intended.
  • Orange Carrot Twist:
    • The fresh, tangy brightness of the orange meets the smooth, earthy sweetness of the carrot. Some things were just meant to be.
  • Orange Berry Antioxidant:
    • For juice lovers that know the more, the merrier, we’ve squeezed this orange and double berry masterpiece. It’s The Works of Juices.
  • Kale Orange Power:
    • Green means go-go-go with this delicious blend of fresh orange juice, kale and bananas. And as good source of vitamins and manganese, it’s hard to stop sipping. Get ready for the perfect fuel to power through your day.
  • Triple Revitalizer:
    • Do bananas have juice? Yep. But don’t take our word for it, just ask the oranges and carrots in this awesome blend of potassium-loaded goodness.
  • Tropical Kick-Start:
    • We took the American breakfast staple on a trip to the tropics. The result? A juice blend that will take your taste buds on vacation.

Do you believe there are ghosts and demons and Diviners among us?

Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It's 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult.

Evie worries he'll discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. But when the police find a murdered girl branded with a cryptic symbol and Will is called to the scene, Evie realizes her gift could help catch a serial killer.

As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfurled in the city that never sleeps. A young man named Memphis is caught between two worlds. A chorus girl named Theta is running from her past. A student named Jericho hides a shocking secret. And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened....

Enter to Win the "About Time" Movie Prize Pack from Universal Pictures! [CLOSED]



For more than three decades, filmmaker Richard Curtis ("Love Actually," "Notting Hill," "Four Weddings and a Funeral") has crafted his signature voice in the world of movies and television, giving audiences unforgettable characters who have alternately allowed us to laugh at our ever-so-human foibles and to share a tear at the extraordinary journeys that accompany our ordinary lives.

Now, with "About Time," Curtis gives us his most personal film to date.

At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time…

The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim’s father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can’t change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life—so he decides to make his world a better place ... by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think.

Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he’s never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again—and again—but finally, after a lot of cunning time traveling, he wins her heart.

Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches and to save his best friend from professional disaster. But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can’t save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous, too.

"About Time" is a comedy about love and time travel, which discovers that, in the end, making the most of life may not need time travel at all.

Enter to Win Alexandra Bracken's "Never Fade" Prize Package! [CLOSED]



Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the Children's League call Ruby "Leader," but she knows what she really is: a monster.

When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children's League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America's children-and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts-has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one place: a flashdrive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future-and who now wouldn't recognize her.

As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam-and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart-she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?

Author Bridie Clark Offers Advice on Finding the Right College + GIVEAWAY! [CLOSED]


To celebrate the upcoming release of Bridie Clark's latest book, "Snap Decision: Maybe Tonight?," Clark shares advice on how to choose the perfect college:

If you’re lucky, you get to choose a college based on factors other than cost and geography. But choosing a school isn’t always easy. You don’t want to mess this one up—it’ll affect your next four years and arguably, your life beyond school. Your head swims with rankings and reports, advice from well-meaning friends and relatives, and your own confusion about which college environment will be the best fit. How to choose the right one?

Visit. If you can, arrange to spend some time at the school. Audit some classes in a field you like, hang out in the student commons, and don’t be shy about asking students about their experiences at the school. While you don’t want to jump to conclusions (one grumpy professor doesn’t mean the academics are lame), listen to your gut… is this where you want to be?

Reflect on who you are and who you want to be. If you started a Mandarin club at your high school and wallpapered your bedroom with maps of Europe, you want a school that will allow you to expand your horizons and explore the world. Focus on the study abroad options, which can vary widely between schools. College is also a chance to reinvent yourself. Maybe you spent your high school years in a hockey uniform, but have always wanted to try acting. Daydream about what you’d most like to try in college—it’s the perfect opportunity to grow and stretch—and then research which school will offer what you’re looking for.

Talk to alums. A powerful and passionate alumni network can be a useful tool as you make your way in the world post-college. If possible, strive to meet some alums and talk to them about the ways the school helped them in their careers.

Step outside your comfort zone. On this point, I speak from personal experience. When I was applying to schools, I ruled out any campus that was not in driving distance from my close-knit family. Driving distance could mean 8 hours—but I vetoed the west coast. Looking back, although I have no regrets, I wonder what I might have gained by living in another part of the country—or in another country— for those four years.

Relax. Very few decisions in life are truly irrevocable. If freshman year leaves you dissatisfied, you can always try to transfer.
