Blog tackles college life

By Mary Kate Brogan

Thomas Frank admits that last semester he was over-involved. A typical day for Frank consisted of working as an RA, taking classes, doing homework, working a second job and working on web design for others’ sites as well as his own.  This semester, Frank, a junior Management Information Systems major at Iowa State University, is cutting back on his activities to focus on classes, hang out with friends and, most of all, devote more time to his up-and-coming blog, CollegeInfoGeek.com. “Generally I would be writing the article part of the time in class and part of the time at my second part-time job,” Frank said.

It’s a far cry from “Rent” and “Hair,” two high-energy rock musicals that have recently graced the McCrary stage.
