In today’s round up of the best posts around the Web, we’re looking at things from the student POV. Because let’s face it, that’s why we all do what we do – to give students the best learning experience possible and prepare them for the “real world.” Here are some of the most compelling student-centric bits of content that came across my radar the past few days: - Snow + Sickness = Stressed Out Students. Discover how one innovative [Yale professor](http://teachbetter.co/blog/2015/02/12/snow-days-and-sick-days/) uses technology to keep everyone on track should they miss class.  - We’re doing students a disservice in [preparing them for college](http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/edtechresearcher/2015/02/preparing_students_for_learning_not_lectures_in_college.html) by leaving active learning out of the mix.  - Struggling with procrastinating students? [15 tips](http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2015/02/15-useful-tips-to-help-students-overcome-procrastination.html?utm_content=11892708&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter) to keep them on track.  - What sets higher performing students apart from the pack? Check out some of their [habits for success](http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/23-things-top-students.html?n=1&ref=tp&utm_content=11955366&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter).  - Solely online classes don’t work for many students. They miss[ instructor interaction](http://www.educationdive.com/news/study-online-students-want-more-interaction-with-instructors/361952/#.VNkUNvoHfGo.twitter). - How high school seniors can survive the endless [wait for college acceptance letters](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rebecca-joseph/surviving-the-winter-wait_b_6641058.html). On a separate topic, Valentine’s Day is only one day away. So I couldn’t resist including these hilarious but cheesy [ed tech pickup lines](https://www.edsurge.com/n/2015-02-11-20-edtech-pick-up-lines-for-your-valentine-s-day-pleasure) in honor of the occasion. Try them at your own risk but they probably work better in tandem with flowers or chocolates.
