10 Tips on Mixing Studying and Fun in University
One of the most common problem someone can encounter while heading to university is either too much partying resulting in bad grades, getting kicked out of classes or even school.

How to Become a Homeschool Parent
In the fall of 1998, I became a homeschool mom in Southern Indiana. My oldest son was five years old at the time and wasn't doing well in kindergarten. So, instead of repeating him again in the same grade, I took it on myself to teach him from home along with my two younger sons that attended preschool the very next year. In this article, I am going to give you some instructions on how to become a homeschool parent, but keep in mind that this how-to goes along with the rules of the state of Indiana. All states have a different view on how things should be done.

A Teacher's Helping Hand
I totally decided to be a teacher for the money... said no teacher ever! During my years at Campbell University my passion to teach became an addiction. Being a teacher or working in the school system in general was something I just had to do but I was, and still am, a horrible test taker. The rule on license passing for North Carolina changed during my senior year and while I thought that because I passed the Praxis that I could still proceed to be licensed, I was still expected to pass the brand new Massachusetts adopted Pearson license exam. Due to my awful test taking anxiety I was unable to pass two of the three exams no matter how long I studied, no matter how many days I studied for, or how many times I took it in the two years (the last year of being a college student and my first year teaching—five times, five fails). I received a fifth grade teaching position by the grace of God because someone saw my potential and my passion, but I had to accept substitute pay until I passed my exams.

The World Is Filled With Filler
I know this is a bit of a humorous subject, but I see filler everywhere. I see it on YouTube videos, news articles, TV shows, and movies. We even have a 600 word minimum for these articles. It got me to wonder why do we have so much filler, especially when times are moving much faster. Don't we want to get to the point a lot faster? My thoughts about this always come back to school. There's a few points that I want to get to, but how did I get to this subject?

Starting school means many things: waking up early again, hoping to get that Pre-Calc teacher everyone wants and organizing your materials for the upcoming year. Going into Freshman year, I thought I could figure things out as I went, not having a planner or any sort of organization system. But of course, I was completely wrong. However, I have learned from my mistakes and made a list of ways to stay organized in school.
