A blog about college, investing, cooking, psychology, saving money and general life concepts.

This weekend I found myself sick and wanting my bed more than ever. I don't know whether it's allergies or the common cold, but I haven't been sick for years, and my allergies have lessened over the years outside a couple of occasional sneezing fits. But Friday, after a long day and coming home after... Continue Reading →
This week was a rough one mainly with my philosophy class, that, and I am feeling off this week. So today I took the local link up the hill to the store and bought some cake mix, oil, and frosting to bake a cake. I've been craving a slice recently and figured now would be... Continue Reading →
Before starting my classes for the spring quarter, I visited ratemyprofessors.com because I knew firsthand that it was a website I wanted to use before registering for classes. So far, it has lived up to its reviews for the three professors I have this quarter. First professor: I am taking statistics this quarter, and the... Continue Reading →

As I was reading, I came across the sentence: "If you find a business that can get away with raising prices year after year without losing customers (addictive products such as cigarettes fill the bill), you've got...

I missed two questions out of 10. Admittedly, one of them was because I didn't go over the notes for it, and the other was a god-awful mistake; I accidentally pressed the wrong one when I meant to push the other, and in a fueled anxiety panic, I pushed submit because time was running out....

So, in my last post, I wrote about experiencing educational trauma and being worried about keeping up with my statistics class. Well, I'm happy and somewhat surprised to say that this is actually one of my favorite classes so far, if not the top class among my others, which include psychology and philosophy. If I...

Tomorrow's homework. I am taking statistics, and I've been excited and nervous about it. I brought baggage into my current class, and it dawned on me that sometimes we have to check ourselves because we hold onto trauma in certain subjects. These subjects did not come easily to us as children, whether it's because of... Continue Reading →
