Hey everyone! Time for another set of the "Top 5 Posts of the Week!" Alright then, right down to business we go! 
1.) Cajun's post "Why
Smart People Fail in College" at his blog My Ashford University Experience
is a great post that details some reasons why some people just don't do well in
college. It's worth a read, and you
might even find that you have been guilty of displaying some of the traits that
he mentions. This post reminds everyone
that you don't have to be a super genius in order to go to college. You just have to have the drive to push
yourself to obtaining what you want!
Cajun also wrote another great post this week called "Applying,
Interviewing, Getting That Job: The phone interview." He gives some great tips for when you're on a
phone interview. A lot of these tips
also hold true for a regular face-to-face interviews and it's definitely good
to just go over them and refresh yourself every now and then! :-)
2.) So, did anyone do
a double take on Victoria's
post "World's Oldest Gets Master's Degree" on the blog Inspiration for
Education? I know I did!
Only last week she posted a similar article
titled "The Story of the World's Oldest College Graduate." At first I thought, hey, we've read about
this amazing woman already, but when I really READ the article I saw that it
was about a different woman!! Two 90+
females have graduated from college, thus proving that you can do anything you
put your mind to!
3.) Steve's post "The
Full Plate" on his blog My St. Petersburg College Experience
is a post that I think everyone should take a look at. Here he reminds everyone to make sure that
they do not fall prey to burnout. You
need to remember to budget in some time for yourself, if only so you can clear
your head and relax a little. Yes, it
takes up valuable time but in the long run, it saves you your mental health!
4.) irishmum78 wrote
a great post "5 Simple Ways
to Save $10 a Day (Post 1 of 5)" on her Affordable Online Education Blog. It's a really great overview of some things
that you can do to save money. It's not
difficult to do and there are some great practices in there that can help you
out in the long run!
5.) Lastly, tcord's
post "Come ON Already!" on his blog My Penn Foster College Experience
is a nice short post that reminds everyone that when you're going to school
online you are still subject to some of the same gripes that any other student
would go through. Terry has been waiting
nearly a month for one of his essays to be graded! Hopefully it will all get sorted out soon!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
