How to Find and Apply for College Scholarships
The second started applying to colleges back in high school, my first thought was how was I going to apply for scholarships. My friends were starting to get a bunch of scholarships that either covered a large part of their school's tuition or gave them a full ride to school overall. I really wanted to save money and avoid paying for the full tuition, but I didn't know where to start looking for scholarships.

Best Motivational Speakers in the World
Last semester during the last few weeks, I felt discouraged to study and do my best on the final exams. I knew that break was coming up real soon and I also knew that the final exams were going to be brutal. No matter how hard I tried to study, I always felt like I was going to fail every exam miserably. Nursing exams are no walk in the park either, and studying for them literally takes sweat and blood just to get through one chapter.

10 Best Natural Sleep Remedies to Cure InsomniaTop Story - June 2018
Insomnia is one of the worst sleeping disorders to deal with on a daily basis because it prevents you from relaxing and getting a full night's rest. My college friend, Jen, dealt with the worse case of insomnia and she's also a nursing major. As a nursing major, we need sleep! Since we study literally all day, we expect to gain restful sleep at night. Jen hardly slept at all because of her insomnia. When she couldn't sleep, she'd study more and this completely drained her.

I’m a diehard Emma Watson fan ever since she starred in the Harry Potter film franchise as Hermione Granger, who was voted the best female Hollywood character of all time.

10 Space-Saving Packing Hacks You Need to Know
Whenever I headed back to college, I always found it to be the biggest struggle to pack my necessities. I bring a ton of my belongings because I attend college in a different state so I stuff my luggage. I was also the worst packer ever because I'd actually throw everything into my luggage and try to zip it closed. The majority of the time, I had to bring extra bags because I couldn't make enough space for other things. I hated bringing so many bags because they were a total pain to drag them through the airport and around campus.

Top 10 Products for Getting Rid of Unwanted Facial HairTop Story - May 2018
There's nothing I hate dealing with more than facial hair. The sight of it bothers the hell out of me and I really... really hate it when it gets in the way of my makeup. Whenever I'm applying foundation or powder, the foundation doesn't properly buff into my skin because the little strands of peach fuzz are making my makeup look streaky. Then when I set my foundation with power, all of the strands are sticking up and my makeup looks ugly.

I know all of us are extremely cautious when we enter our cars in the middle of summer. Every little thing in the car absorbs the heat from the sun.
