What advice do you have for students trying to uphold the balance between attending college and making time for hours at work?
As a college student, this seems impossible at times and often intimidates me. Sometimes as a student you feel incapable of succeeding when so much is inundated onto your plate. #college #business #nursing #jobs #graduate-school #journalism #students #work-life-balance

Experience is Crazy!
I can never understand how most jobs you need experience to work there, but no one is willing to hire you to get the experience. Is there any way around that? What can I do to get experience before getting hired?

What is the best way to get into Radio?
Hi! Where I live, the options of going into radio aren't exactly the "cool thing" to do. For example parent's, teachers, and peers would rather be doing something that encompasses more of a "stable" job such as a doctor or an engineer. What do you suggest to someone who has an authentic...

Why does the gossip/rumors always outshine the positive outcomes of the entertainment business?
Everyday, I repeatedly run into tabloids exposing the personal lives of celebrities. I can tell that these famous beings are constantly being watched by those who are ready to catch them making a mistake. In a way, I feel for these people living their lives in front of a camera day after day,...

Why is it that we do not see a diversity in the casting of movies?
Growing up, I rarely saw any person on-screen that represented my ethnicity and when there was an Asian actor/actress, more than likely stereotypes would be included in the film. My question is why is Hollywood still white-washed even after society has changed over the past few decades. #in...

What are some scholarships I could apply to that are not frauds?
In school they never speak about how we apply for scholarships, they only teach core lessons and prepare us for testing. We hardly ever hit other important topics in life that should be taught as well. For example doing taxes, applying for school loans, buying/renting a home, etc. Things we...

What are medical school committees looking for in an applicant (research experience, extracurricular/volunteer activities, grade point average,...)?
I am a research postdoc fellow in life sciences. I was recently asked how to get accepted to medical school. This is not really in my field so I figured I should share this question. Hope the answers will be helpful to any student going through the selection process. #doctor #medicine...

What are some things you wished you did back in college?
What I'm wondering is, do you regret not joining more clubs or taking certain classes you were curious about taking or just overall spending more time on campus to see what else the campus offered the students? #college #college-life

How do you deal with comparing yourself with your fellow classmates?
I feel as though I've begun doing this ever since I've started college. I always hear that my fellow classmates are coming to school and working a part time job, and for some, they may even have a family to provide for. It makes me wonder how they manage all of that but then it makes me think,...

What can you do when you're feeling stressed about not having a job while in college?
I'm almost finished with college and I have yet to find a summer job. I'm afraid that this may hinder my job search after I graduate, since I have very little job experience. This has caused me to begin to stress and worry and wonder what am I going to do once I finish school. I feel like now...

Can volunteer work help in the long run when it comes to a career?
I'm almost out of college and I've been trying to get a summer job with no success. I would like to do something with my time and I've read somewhere that volunteering is great, especially if its related to your degree. For me, I'm majoring in Art and Design and I've already set up applications...
