October Focus: Taking the ACT?
Should you take the ACT? That is the question that most students I know are facing. If you know that you are going to “CLEP out of College”, do you need an ACT score? Or, if you are like my sisters, and you don’t think you’ll go to college do you need an ACT score?…
Relating to People
I bring up this subject a lot, probably because I deal with it a lot. And I think it is extremely relevant. How are we supposed to explain to people about our college experience, and deal with the criticism that inevitably comes our way? When people ask about your college, you inwardly cringe. How much…
Textbooks: The Big Ripoff
I’m just going to say it… Textbooks are a ripoff. You are required to have this book to take a class, and you have to have the new edition, and the price is through the roof. Look at the chart below… That is according to 2013. Textbook inflation has far out passed every other expense…

The New Majority – Helpful Tip
If you are applying for a scholarship (or anything else where you have to give your status as a student), do not choose College Student unless you are a full time student, enrolled in a 2 or 4 year university. If you are CLEPing, taking Distance Courses, a student of CollegePlus, or anything else on…
"Plans can change…"
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 I pulled out my desk calendar. It is full of paper clips, notes, pen scratches, and scribbles. Notes of what I hoped to do, planned to do, and what I did. Usually they’re different things. Seasons of life is phrase…
Not Sure Where to Start?
It seems pretty typical. College students don’t know what to study. It’s okay. It’s the way God designed it. You don’t know where you will be in 2 years or 6 years, so how do you know what to study in college? Should you study a specific thing, or go general? If you have an…
