This is no ordinary man being eaten by an ordinary snake (as if that could ever be ordinary). Here's the low down on what you need to know about this "dangerous game" in the jungle: • The dude is Paul Rosolie. He is a snake researcher and conservationist who has dedicated his career to studying snakes, particularly the giant green anaconda. This summer, he went into the Amazonian jungle to track down one of these creatures and be "eaten alive" -- hence the title of the Discovery Channel special. • The giant green anaconda is the world's largest and most powerful snake, as well as the top predator in the Amazon. Anacondas can open their mouths to almost 180 degrees, with jaws attached by elastic ligaments, so it is actually possible for them to swallow a person; right after they crush their bones, of course. • Paul found the snake. He tracked down a 20ft-long green anaconda, and then donned a suit of specially manufactured armor covered in pigs' blood so that the snake would be attracted to him. He then crawled on all fours toward the snake, willing her to attack him so that he might journey through her intestines. • He didn't actually get eaten. Despite the title of the show, Paul only got part of his head into the snake's mouth before feeling his arm break under the snake's coil and shouting to his team to rescue him. So the world continues to not know what it's like to travel through the inside of a giant green anaconda. It's probably better that way.

It seems that these ladies are always in the news for something or another. If you're having trouble keeping them straight, here's what you need to know about the infamous sisters. 1. Kim.

As students, we often struggle with the dilemma of going out. Yes, the food is much better than we could ever cook on our own, but it’s also much more expensive. Fortunately, there are restaurants out there that will keep your tummy and your wallet happy - here are just a few of them! • Steak ‘N Shake. With at least 17 meal options for under $4, you’ve got plenty to choose from that won’t break the bank. Also, they’re always putting out sheets of coupons that you can snag from an email or the newspaper, so you can make these great deals even better. • IHOP. These pancake people have several cheaper options to provide you with all your breakfast-y needs. Not only that, but they also offer a student discount, so long as you show them your ID. This saves you an extra 10% off your bill, making your meal that much tastier. • Dairy Queen. You may have some trouble finding these nowadays, but if you do, you’re in for a thrifty treat. They have a $5 lunch menu where you can choose from a chicken wrap, chicken tenders, a chili cheese dog or a burger. These come with fries, a drink and your choice of dessert! Be sure to check what sort of deals your local restaurants offer as well - you never know what kind of bargains you might find!

It may seem like Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the rest of the holiday season are ages away, but these next few weeks are sure to go by quick. You don't want to be caught off guard because school and work kept you busy up until the last minute. Take the opportunity to start planning now; that way, you'll have nothing to worry about when the big days actually come. • Make your gift list. Who do you want to get presents? What's your budget? Are they group gifts? This is the time to figure all this out so you can start purchasing items as you see them. There's no worse feeling than not having something to give to someone that you'd planned on getting a gift. Avoid that embarrassment by working on your list now and crossing it off, slowly but surely. • Figure out your schedule. Will you need days off? What about half days? Should you be scheduling appointments? The holidays are a time where you generally have some time away from work and school, but you may have to take that time off. They're also an excellent opportunity to schedule doctor and dentist appointments - taking these days off now means people are less likely to have already done so. • Clean out your closet. What have you accumulated in the past year that you really aren't using? This is the time to clean out your closet and donate things you don't need. That way, you've got space for the new goodies you're sure to acquire, but you also make your old belongings available to people who may see them as the best gift they could give. Talk about win-win!

Assuming you haven't already waited for hours on end to purchase the newest addition the Apple product line, you should probably look into what the new features are - especially because the price of iPhone 5s is going to drop dramatically. • It's bigger. What that means is that it's longer, giving you more screen space to work with (and more phone to fit into your pocket). The 6 is 4.7 inches long and the 6 Plus is 5.5 inches. • It's thinner. If you felt like it was too bulky before (especially with an Otterbox case on it), this is your chance for slimmer. The 6 is 6.9 millimeters thick, with the 6 Plus being 7.1 millimeters. • The resolution has improved. Colors and contrasts in pictures will come across better. Retina HD makes the screen more like your laptop's. The resolution on the 6 is 1334 × 750, and 1920 × 1080 on the 6 Plus. • The camera is better. The picture quality has no come to videos. They have new features like slow motion and time lapse video mode, making sure you don't miss the moments that just can't be caught with stills. • It has fingertip security. Instead of using a password, you can now use your fingerprint to unlock your phone, as well as make purchases. This makes it harder for others to hack into and access your things. With other features like Apple Pay and the new iOS, there is a lot going for the iPhone 6. However, some of these things may seem unnecessary - especially for the price. It's important to know why you're buying what you're buying before you buy it - do your research!

As a current college student, I've become really aware of the sexual assaults that are happening all over the country. Young men and women everywhere have been victims, and that leaves a lot of people scared. While these events should not be happening, we can't entirely stop crazy people from doing crazy things - we can only prepare ourselves to handle them. So, for those of you who sometimes would rather wait things out in a bomb shelter, here's what you need to know. • Travel in packs. There's a reason your parents always told you to use the buddy system; there is safety in numbers. Traveling on your own makes you more vulnerable. With more people around, the chances of any of you being assaulted drop dramatically. • Use local transportation. Even safer than walking with others is riding with others. Many campuses offer student transport or buses that run into the wee hours of the night. You can even look into calling a cab or using Uber - what's a couple bucks for a ride when it means you get home safe? • Be prepared. That means different things for different people. Whether you're carrying a pocket knife or you take defense classes, you should be ready to handle yourself in the worst possible scenario. Make sure to also check your campus' rules on weapons. • Keep your wits about you. When you're walking somewhere, don't play on your phone the whole time. Keep one ear bud out. Be aware of your surroundings, and don't act carelessly. The "shortcut" through the woods may not seem like such a great idea later. The point of this isn't to be scared; it's to be prepared. Crazy people will do crazy things, but you don't have to be a victim.
