Kettering University!

What's better than learning through hands on experience? I can't tell you enough how little college prepared me for the work world. If I was shoved into an office the day after I graduated in the field that I majored in, I'd probably just sit at a desk and wait for someone to come lecture me. I was good at that, because that's what I learned to do while I was in school.
I came across Kettering University's website and really wished that I had been offered an opportunity like they offer their students. They focus on hands on experiences through their co-op programs. From continuing education classes, to undergraduate degrees, to master’s degrees, they offer it all and all through co-ops. These majors include industrial engineering and engineering co-op programs.
After looking around more on their site, I learned that they were rated #1 by US News for the Best Colleges for eight years in a row now. It is also rated the best Midwestern college by the Princeton Review.
I really wish I had known about options like this when I was applying. I know for a fact that this would be a better preparer for the real world than just listening to lectures only for 4 years.


Reporting my blahness!

Just wanted to report on my ongoingons :)
Just realized I'm really far from where I want to be, as well as not even on the starting track to getting where I want to be. Just hope I'm not 'one of those,' because out of a lot of people, I'm one that deserves to be where I was to be. (I do have a not modest sense of entitlement.)
If you have no idea what I'm talking about... that's the point. Farewell.

Be Oyster Aware!

If I could have oysters offer anything other than pearls, I would ask for them to offer endless love, but since oysters are already an aphrodisiac ;) then I think it'd be nice if oysters offered up quarters, so that you never get a parking ticket at a meter and have the quarters handy. jk. I don’t mind the pearls that they offer, but I do prefer the black pearls rather than the white.
When eatingGulf oysters or any seafood, it's important to be an informed consumer and do everything in your capacity to avoid being at risk. This website provides a lot of information of what to look for, what you should worry about and which bacteria may endanger you. This site provides you with ways to feel and be safe about eating oysters.
If you believe that you have come in contact with oysters containing these bacteria, this website provides you with the symptoms and different forms of treatment. You can feel pretty safe using the recipes on the site as well. There are so many delicious recipes to choose from.

I'll review your blog.

If anyone wants to review my posts or blog (interesting psych articles at the beginning of the archives) we can exchange reviews. Write a post and comment to this post with a link to your review and I'll post a link and a review of yours. :)


Opportunities go fast on sponsored post sites

I've noticed that there are opportunities available on sites such as Blog Advertising - Get Paid to Blog and have opportunities available to me for only a couple minutes. If i don't grab it when I see it, then it's gone. On smorty, I haven't had any offers recently, but I know that that is due to the fact that I've only been checking at odd hours. When I was making a steady stream on money, I was always checking the site between 6-7 pm Eastern time. With payperpost, I know that I need to work on my pagerank before I can have a steady stream of income from there. I'm also hoping to get off of blogger to have more customization options available in regards the the layout.
