From Everything to Nothing
The Stress and the Bliss The Awkward In-Betweens in Life Summer should be a time of relaxation and enjoyment. A time where there are no assignments due at midnight or an 8 AM class the next day. It is during this time, however, where I feel the most stressed out and anxiety filled. The show Phineas and Ferb states it best when they state that there is so much pressure to enjoy summer vacation. Not only this but how do you transition from doing every activity you possibly can to waiting and having free time? I have compiled a list of helpful tips on how to survive this in-between spot. This spot of being in the middle is a problem faced by every generation. For the sake of this article, I will be telling it from the coming home from a college perspective.

Popularity: What's the Big Deal?
Popularity. The big deal about middle school. Everyone wants to be popular at one point. It gives you power. Other classmates look up to you. People even feel intimidated by your presence. This is my experience with popularity in middle school.

Should You Lose Your Accent?
I grew up in Rock Ferry Wirral and in the 70s my family witnessed a murder. Not long after that, I was diagnosed with speech problems, hyperactivity, and lack of coordination. I was from a working-class background. I was then sent to a hospital in about 1972 and placed in a restraint jacket. However, my mum and dad were entertainers, and because my education suffered, I decided to go back to college at the age of 19 years.

Branching Out With Business Finance
If you're thinking of starting a business, finding support for your project will be a high priority. You'll know that entering any commercial sector with a new enterprise, consultancy or partnership comes with challenges. You'll also know that branching out by yourself can be demanding. You'll be inspired, however, in the knowledge that many services provided by the self-employed and partnerships have great potential in the marketplace.

The Art of Caring. Top Story - May 2018.
I am a teacher. I inspire and in turn am inspired by my students. I am 61-years-old and teach nursing at a state university. Why did I become a nurse (many years ago, you can do the math)? I wanted to make a difference. When I think back, I am not sure what difference I wanted to make, but after many years of bedside care, I knew I wanted something more. I went back to school for a Master’s degree. I had some “inspiring” instructors who taught me that nursing is much more than “doing.” Nursing is about caring.

Your Boss Doesn't Care!
OK so I just saw an article called "Six Things Your Boss Wants to Know About You." Yeah OK that's great, well here's what your boss doesn't care about. Your boss doesn't want to hear a long rant about your life. Now ask yourself why—because he has better things to do with his time than listen to how your child colored on the wall yesterday. Your boss is a busy person, don't waste his/her time going on rants or giving long stories. I'm quite sure your boss would appreciate a shortened version of whatever you're about to say.

Why You Should Listen to Gaming Soundtracks While Studying
The end of the semester is quickly approaching, and along with room check-outs, advanced class selection, and warm weather, comes the dreaded finals week. As students start racking up hours in the library and Hub, they are forced to cram course material while dreaming of days on the beach or lounging at home. One way to balance this nostalgia for a dreamier day while studying is the use of fantasy gaming soundtracks while reviewing. The best part of this technique? You don’t have to be a gamer to enjoy the music that accompanies gameplay, and it can improve your focus, motivation, and productivity.
