I'll be learning who my roommate will be in college in a week or two, and I've never had a roommate before. I was wondering what I could do to be a "good" roommate instead of a "bad" one. #college

Hi! My name is Anina and I'm a high school senior interning at CareerVillage. I see a lot of that "work from home!" spam in comment sections. But it seems like many bloggers actually DO manage to work from home, and still make a liveable wage. How do you replicate their success? #technology...

I've gone on a couple interviews and my teacher told me to write a hand written note to thank the person who interviewed me, but i've also heard that emails are much better. Which do you suggest?

Hi! My name is Anina and I'm a high school senior interning at CareerVillage. I have a classmate who is going to take an exam to get their GED, and try to go to college earlier. Are there any drawbacks to this path? Do the drawbacks outweigh the benefits? #college

Hi! My name is Anina and I'm a high school senior interning at CareerVillage. I have a friend who only applied to private schools, because they "care" more about their students and give them more attention, while public universities care more about research than undergraduates. Meanwhile, one...
