New Year
So here we are at yet another year with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Internships have ended, summer is finally winding down, and classes start in the morning. For some of us, this is the beginning of a new life, while others are going 'round this carousal for the second and third time. Or fourth. Or fifth. Or....
So as we get ready for those atrocious 8 o'clock classes, late night study sessions, and those end of the week sets that make life more interesting, lets keep in mind that as this year progresses, we will create memories that will last lifetimes. We will laugh, we will cry, but we will always look back and marvel at it all five, ten, and fifteen years from now. And even beyond that.
And NotInClass will be right there with you, capturing those moments that matter most.

Top 20 Best-Paying College Degrees in 2010
Want to know what the best-paying college degrees are?
Here’s a hint: The college degrees that lead to the highest salaries all involve high-level mathematics.
Just like last year’s survey of salaries by college degrees, engineering majors dominate the list. For undergraduates, seven of the top 10 college degrees, according to PayScale, Inc., belong to engineering majors. The best paying college degree of all — by a long shot — is petroleum engineering.
The salary advantage that graduates, who earn these largely technical degrees, enjoy continues as they move into the middle of their careers.
Here are the top 20 best-paying college degrees in 2010:
