Things to Avoid on Robinhood
Robinhood is the first stock trading app that allows zero-fee trades for hundreds of stocks. It's a great place for those who want to have a lot of control over their stocks and avoid having fees eat up their profits. Avid traders will see around $100 to $200 in savings just because of the lack of fees.

What Inspires Your Writing?
People ask me all the time, "What inspires your writing?" It's not an easy question to answer. There are a lot of things that inspire my writing, a lot of things that get the creative juices flowing, the hand writing, fingers typing, words appearing on the page. Inspiration can be found anywhere: from a nature walk in the woods to a single piece of music from a movie or your favorite band.

10 Apps That Will Reduce Office Stress
It happens, we stress out during work. Either through crunch time, clueless coworkers, over an important assignment, or even as a result of personal situations back home. Many of us deal with stress in the workspace, and we all just wish that the clock would move faster for the day to be over already. We struggle to get our heads back in the game, finish tasks quicker, and simply do our jobs properly. It's normal to be stuck on an assignment through stress—this happens to many of us.

Be a Man!
First things first: Let's rip off the band-aid. I'm transgender—female to male—and have been passing for a little over a year now. If you're unfamiliar with the term "passing," it simply means that I resemble the gender that I feel is most right for me. In this case, I look like a male and no one questions that I am one. Mostly this is an excellent thing because I have been wanting this for many years and finally I don't have to deal with people mistaking me for a woman. It's awesome.

UWindsor's Green Ranking: Well Deserved?
Last week, an article was posted in the University of Windsor’s daily news celebrating the fact that Windsor has been included in the Princeton Review’s Guide to 375 Green Colleges from 2017, which highlights academic institutions from across North America who have demonstrated “exceptional commitments to sustainability.” While the University was proud to make this achievement known, this ranking is problematic, for a myriad of reasons.

What Do We Expect from University?
Everyone tells you that university is an exotic, life-changing experience; that being here can in some way “complete” you, especially in America. For some this may be the case in the fairy tale way it is advertised (the "all your dreams will come true" outlook), but for me in old Blighty, I found this to be true, but in much subtler ways.

What Does It Mean for Public Health?
Well, really, it means being more than just someone who could learn what they can from their professors and try to apply it to other students and their own community by supporting, volunteering; those who have internships, or actually have met those from the community and are willing to make an effort in changing the world to be healthier, be smarter, be more active in what public health is supposed to do.

Famous High School Dropouts That Still Found Success
Whenever we hear about high school dropouts, we immediately assume that their life has fallen apart and they'll never be able to get right back up and become successful. Dropping out of high school is a major decision, because you're not fully achieving your education. Sure, there are college dropouts who've managed to get an OK job. But for someone to fully quit high school, we jump to the conclusion that they'll never be successful in life. There are also times when those people truly regret dropping out of high school.
