  • Oh man I thought I was just doing school wrong. A lot of my buddies with a leg up over me (parental help with college mostly) were able to get their 4 year degrees in 4-6 years.

    I couldn’t afford that and went to community college. The advisors didn’t really know a lot, I came prepared and they couldn’t really answer my questions. I had a lot going on but I persisted. Then some of the transfer scholarships were no longer offered by the 4 year college I wanted to transfer to. (That tripled my cost right there.) And I had to fight them on how credits transferred. (Which would have cost me if I didn’t challenge them.) And they would only take a certain number of transferred credits. (Which again… Cost more money.)

    I was still able to get my “4 year” degree it was an incredibly difficult process. It was worth it because it enabled me to get a six figure job.

    I’m glad for this article because honestly I thought I was just… Really bad at making life decisions seeing how much easier it seemed my peers could get a degree. Sad though for the rest of my homies with limited support.





  • Typically, I brush and floss before bed. In the morning, I will rinse my mouth out to get a lot of the bacteria from overnight out of my mouth.

    If I have the energy, I will brush about an hour after my morning snack and caffeine.

    If I don’t have the energy, I will rinse my mouth out after breakfast.

    I find rinsing my mouth out, while not as good as brushing, really helps freshen up my mouth.
