Palmer, Lance, et al. "IMPROVING FINANCIAL AWARENESS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS: ASSESSMENT OF A FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PROJECT." College Student Journal 44.3 (2010): 659-676. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. The article served as a study that was done on college students. It was an intervention that mainly forced college students to track just how they spent their money. The purpose of the experiment was to bring awareness to the students at the end to show them what possible mistakes, or poor expenditures they had made. The study showed that when students tracked how they spent their money, they universally increased their spending knowledge, and made very few careless purchases. When these students actually tracked how they spent their money the study showed that they realized the values that their parents and guardians had taught them.

Korinth, Anne, Sonja Schiess, and Joachim Westenhoefer. "Eating behaviour and eating disorders in students of nutrition sciences." Public Health Nutrition 13.1 (2010): 32-37. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 15 Nov. 2010. This article talks about how some students who study nutrition are more likely to develop eating disorders. People can not decide whether or not the students are making better nutritional decisions or not. It comes to the conclusion that students who know more about health and nutrition are more likely to develop these disorders because they are more aware of their intake. Therefore, there is no specific type of student which is affected by nutrition and health.

Boyle, Jennifer, Nicole Larose. "The Personal Beliefs, The Environment and College Students' Exercise and Eating Behaviors." American Journal of Health Studies 23.4 (2008) 195-200. Ebsocohost. Web. 22 Nov. 2010. College students are at risk for overweight/obesity. It was hypothesized that better nutrition and physical activity would be related to healthy environmental perceptions and personal beliefs.Sixty-five percent of American adults are overweight. The greatest increases in overweight and obesity occur in persons between 18-29 years of age.Eating habits are also a problem in both the general population as well as among college students. Only 28% of persons over the age of two are meeting daily recommendations for fruit intake and even fewer 3% are meeting daily recommendations for vegetable intake. College students often exceed the recommended daily limit for saturated fat intake. A study by Racette found that more than half the students in their sample reported eating high-fat fried or fast foods at least three times per week.

Poor eating habits are an important public health issue that has large health and economic implications. Many food preferences are established early, but because people make more and more independent eating decisions as they move through adolescence, the transition to independent living during the university days is an important event. Numerous studies have shown that college students often have poor eating habits. Students tend to eat fewer fruits and vegetables on a daily basis\nand report high intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods.To study the phenomenon of food selection, the heath belief model was applied to predict the likelihood of healthy eating among university students. Numerous studies have shown that college students often have poor eating habits.

Lastly, the study confirmed that it takes a combination of financial literacy, financial behavior, and financial knowledge together in order to achieve a set of strong techniques.

Jackson, Rebecca A., Tanya R. Berry, and Michael D. Kennedy. "The Relationship Between Lifestyle and Campus Eating Behaviours in Male and Female University Students." College Student Journal 43.3 (2009): 860-871. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 3 Nov. 2010. This article gives a lot of information about college students and the risks that they are taking when they come to a new environment while being on their own. Several tests were taken to determine the difference between males and females and their behaviors towards drinking, eating, and exercising. It does a really good job on separating the genders and showing that the male and female lifestyle drastically changes when they come to college. It shows statistics on how much the cost of a student would spend depending on their physical activity as well. Overall, college can have an extreme impact on a students' life.

Jones, Val. "'I Felt like I Did Something Good'..." EBSCOhost. Web. 18 Nov. 2010.

- This article talks about the importance of peer interaction for Autistic students. It displays how tutors can help Autistic children not only learn, but also develop their social skills. It talks about the importance of the mainstream tutors to be encouraging to the Autistic students. This would be a good strategy to talk about in a paper. The use of average, mainstream students may make the Autistic students not feel as excluded and the encouragement from the "regular" children could generally make the Autistic student happier and, therefore, more motivated to learn.

Chien-Wen, Lai. "How Financial Attitudes and Practices Influence the Impulsive Buying Behavior of College and University Students." Social Behavior & Personality: An International Journal 38.3 (2010): 373-380. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. This article shows certain indications, or in other words tell tale signs that many people who have problems with financial spending hold in common. The article has tables that show results on whether or not students had plans on how to spend their money, if they actually kept track of their money, and why they spent their money. The main point of the article was the difference between compulsive, and pre-determined purchases of college students. I also thought that this article would be good because the field work was done on international students. This shows that financial literacy is just not a problem amongst college students in the states. This problem is occurring all over the world and this article shows that.

Jackson, Rebecca. "The relationship between lifestyle and campus eating behaviors in mal and females." College Student Journal 43.1 (2009): 860-871. Ebscohost. Web. 22 Nov. 2010.

Poor nutritional practices and heightened levels of stress, two common attributes of university life, are strongly linked with weight gain and decreased health. Little research has examined the relationships between university students' lifestyle factors and campus eating behaviours; therefore, this study aimed to examine relationships between lifestyle and campus eating behaviour. Both lifestyle and eating behaviour questionnaires were developed and administered to male and female undergraduate students at a Canadian university. Students whose living arrangements had not changed since high school consumed less alcohol than individuals who moved away from their previous dwellings. Fast food consumption was also significantly related to lower physical activity levels and higher expenditures for food on campus. Males also consumed more alcohol than females and spent more money for food on campus. Conclusion. Relationships do exist between lifestyle and campus eating behaviour. These results may be used as a foundation for future research on the effect of lifestyle on eating behaviours and nutritional status in university age student

EBSCO. Web. 17 Nov. 2010. This article will be fantastic as a counter argument to my paper. Every good paper needs some form of argument against to make the argument for even stronger. The journal is a study based on 79 high school students. These students in years prior had completed a course that dealt with managing their finances. The study showed that these kids were no smarter, or held any knowledge that other students didn't regarding financial literacy and spending. I thought that this journal was great because it showed that it might not even be the education that lead to poor spending. Also the students who took the course even noted that they did not spend their money in the right ways.
