So far, I've been to applying to scholarship after scholarship -- but those are based on chance. I don't lose hope, but I always want to be prepared with a backup plan! The cheapest university that I was accepted to is still far too expensive (even with financial aid) for my family to afford,...

My parents are separated, and my mother is barely able to keep my family afloat. Many nights I've had to go to bed hungry because my mother simply couldn't afford to buy food. I work a part-time job, but because my mother asks for money constantly, I lose my paychecks quickly. Nobody is going...

I love hanging out with people and participating in activities. However, I feel very uncomfortable when I don't know anyone in the room, so often I stay in and keep to myself. When I'm with a bunch of strangers, I feel like the odd one out and have difficulty getting comfortable enough to...

I applied to many schools before December 2017 as a community college transfer student. I sent my fall 2017 transcripts to these schools back in January and I still have not heard back from four of them, so I'm just wondering how long it should take on average. #college #transfer-admissions

Deciding what to do for the rest of my life is quite daunting. I'm curious as to when others discovered what their true calling was; what it felt like, how it happened, how they knew. I also want to know how they figured out how to make their passions into practical jobs, how they found the...

My school doesn't have too many outlets to find internships. Is calling/emailing companies or people an acceptable way to ask if there are any internships available there? #internships #career

I attend a high school with 300 students total and this makes me jealous of students that attend a bigger high school than mine. Because of this, I would like to go to a farther college and live on campus to experience the full offer of college. However, I am torn because my parents require my...

I'm finishing up my third year of college, and I'm planning on graduating next year. I'm majoring in Public Relations and minoring in Sociology. I don't know if I should go to graduate school or not? Is it better to have that extra edge when employers are looking at candidates? #publicrelations...

How many classes can a student fail before they are not able to succeed? Can a student recover from a few failed classes after retaking them and getting a better grade? What happens when you take a class that cannot be retaken because it is above 3000, but you need it to succeed? Can I...
