Sleepy Students: The Effects of Sleep Deprivation Caused by an Early School Start Time
According to livescience.com, the average start time for middle and high school classes in the United States is eight AM (Rettner NP). But is this an effective way to teach the youth of America? Numerous studies show that students do better overall in school when their classes start later. Although there are many different reasons why this should be implemented, the most prominent is sleep. Students experience numerous benefits just from an extra thirty minutes to an hour of sleep. Because of the benefits it causes and health concerns it prevents, middle and high schools should implement a later start time for classes to help kids excel further in their education by allowing more sleep.

You Did It
Congratulations! You survived the last four years of prison... *cough* I mean, high school! Today is the day that you walk across the stage to get a piece of paper that basically holds the last four years of your life. I mean, come on, you'd think you would get a little more than a piece of paper. Like maybe an all-expense paid trip to the tropics to relax for the first time in 1,460 days, or some cash. I mean I'd even settle for a candy bar, just something more than a piece of paper. I love it when people congratulate me on graduating and I'm just like, "Yeah I went through four years of hell, stress, and tears for this one, single, piece of tree... totally worth it." Just kidding. Actually I'm not because I definitely think I should be receiving more than a piece of paper, but it is very important to graduate and it's a day you will always remember. So let's just take a moment and reminisce the past four years of your life.

Making Money While You're in School and Away from Home
Hey everyone! My name is Kaylin Winters and I'm currently a physical sherapy student at Bethel. Of course I'm a broke college student (aren't we all?) who's been trying to get an online job to have over the summer. (Because I have tuition to pay.) I've tried so many online surveys, "legitimate" sites claiming to pay you over $25-50 a week, or my personal favorite—$250-500 a year!

Finding the Balance
College is hard enough as it is; class, hours of studying and homework, sleep deprivation... Adding athletics on top of that makes college 10 times harder. Being a student-athlete is difficult. Along with the hours and hours of studying we put into our major, we also have practice, early morning lifting sessions, hours of study hall, meetings upon meetings upon meetings! Finding the balance between the two is still a struggle even after enduring the journey for two years now... Let me tell you a little about myself.

5 Things No One Tells You About Culinary School
1) It’s not like TV. Culinary school sounds very exciting and fancy when you think about it. As a baking and pastry major, it was easy for me to see that my first class was Chocolates and Confections and imagine that I would be working in a slightly homier version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. However, school was a little less glamorous and a little more militant. I was pretty exhausted after 7 hours in the kitchen, but coming home tired and covered in chocolate was worth it to be doing what I loved.

What's University Good For?
I used to envy those people who had a plan for their life. They knew what was up and they were set on making their goals happen. They were determined and dedicated—nothing could deter them. These people are superheroes—they don't really exist.

“A Proper Tone and Friendly Manner”
Towards the arrival of the start of the 2014 fall semester at Shawnee State University, I was but a simple character. Similar to who I am now, I was one who looked at the world with a curious eye. I came at it with well intent and an aim to kindness and respect. So when I caught knowledge of who I would be rooming with for that year, I thought I’d take some sort of proactive action to making the first attempt at contact a well off one.
