    Graduate College vs. Regular College

    Yesterday I finished a 15 page, 10 question exam.  Today, I printed a 12 page study guide for a final exam that will cover everything we’ve covered this semester.  As I’m completing another semester of grad school, I’ll share my perspective on graduate college vs. regular college: There’s a more complex admittance process.  It’s not difficult, there’s just more to do.  You have to apply, submit all transcripts, submit references, and take the GRE.  The GRE is somewhat challenging (at least the math part for me), but it won’t dictate your acceptance.  Some schools value it more than others.  Prepare as much as you can and just do your best.  The…

    5 Reasons not to care what people think about you

    We live in a world where it’s easy to become obsessed with how other people feel about us.  In this post, I share 5 reasons not to care what people think about you.  Being overly concerned with how others feel about you is a sure way to keep you in bondage- preventing you from being all that Christ created you to be. 5 Reasons not to care what people think about you: 1.
