The De Anza Paralegal Program
As far as this program goes, I’m looking at all my options to get a better paying job and how to get there. I know I have to get into the technical writing program, for example. I also have paralegal studies printed out by now, which I’m looking at because I want to figure out how long it will take me to complete. I need at least 48 units and classes I can transfer to UCLA when the time comes. I’m busy trying to figure out the stuff I need to learn, and I have to enroll in online English 1A and 1B. I have other interests, besides, in the field of student government, drawing, martial arts, speech, and more art classes.

Before I talk about why college isn't for everyone, I want to disclaim that I am not telling people to ditch their college dreams and goals. While it isn't for everyone, it is also a great asset for some people. Getting a degree in a field you love, making memories and following your dreams looks differently for every person. This article is merely to point out that you don't have to go to college to become a successful human being. Each person's journey is different, which is what makes us all uniquely special.

I've noticed that Facebook is a happy place. Like, too happy. Everyone is living their perfect life and then they go to Instagram and post their perfect jobs and twitter to post their perfect recipes.
Where Is Your Tuition Bill Going?
As of this upcoming school year (2018), I will be headed into my senior year of college. I graduated high school in 2014 with college credits already under my belt, putting me ahead of students who hadn't taken AP or Post Secondary classes. You would think by 2018 I would have graduating with a bachelor's degree; however, that is not the case. Believe me, it is not that I don't want to be moving forward or that I have been held back for educational reasons. No, the #1 and only reason I have for not graduating college is that it costs SO much money. I'm sure many of you have parents have graduated college with little to no debt, while working part time jobs at minimum wage and having very little family financial support. For us "millennials," attending college full time, working full time, and taking out exuberant amounts in loans is the norm. According to FinAid.com, inflation for tuition has exceeded 8 percent, which is higher than it has been in the past 30 years. I'm not here to tell you tuition has risen and the numbers behind it, but to ask schools WHY tuition has risen. It is understood that as wages increase, the price of living also increases, but it does not explain the thousand dollar annual leaps schools are making in their housing and tuition costs; and I am here to tell you why.
How to Make Working in University Work for You
I have been in school for almost seven years and have been working close to full-time hours while doing it. This might sound unimaginable to most people. Undergrads navigating not getting "weeded out," master's students who can't take time away from the literature. Well, I'm here to tell you it is achievable without compromising your academic success and general life outside academia.
7 Reasons to Finish Assignments Early
One of my favorite undergraduate literature professors had a mantra that there were no due dates for papers in his class. You could do them all in the first couple of weeks, you could work on them gradually throughout the semester, or you could do them all at the last minute.
Leigh FisherPublished 5 years ago in EducationSalvation in School
What education means to me in my mid twenties cannot compare to how I viewed education growing up. I always did okay in school, but I never really thought about it as a key to unlocking my future. My junior year of high school I started experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Grade wise I started to fall out. I was more passionate about my serving job than school. I did go to college my first year out of high school, it being mandatory by my Dad that I enroll. I stayed in school for three years, doing relatively well. These years of my life were about school but I was also still smoking weed, drinking, with no plan about what my years would be like after graduating college.
