5 Little Known Ways to Make the Most out of Personal Loans
At the moment, the amount of money owed by individuals surges to a record $120 billion, which only serves to tell just how common this financing practice actually is. An average loan is usually somewhere between $1,000 and $50,000, and it takes between 12 and 60 months for one to repay them. The longer the term, the lower the monthly payment, yet the amount of money paid in interests will be substantially higher.

Homework: Pros and Cons
Should students get more or less homework than they currently do? It is difficult to deny that homework has countless benefits. It helps young people to understand course material more profoundly, acquire practical skills, become responsible and self-sufficient, and learn to solve challenging tasks without teachers’ supervision. However, each good thing should be used in moderation. Some educational institutions overload learners with assignments and follow the rule “the more the better.” But it is not always the case.

The Rise of MOOC
The ability to learn, anywhere, on multiple devices and at your own pace, isn't that the dream? Well for me anyway! I've been a firm supporter of continuing education ever since I first set foot on a university campus. It didn't stop there though—I believe people who want to invest in themselves, should have options and flexibility. Whether you want to learn the latest in Adobe Creative Suite, or study Forensic Accounting because hey, why not! MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses are helping us get there.

Work-Life Balance
When I first started working; what now seems so very long ago... there was nothing at all in my mind leading me to believe I could work too much. I wanted to work, I had become bored with school, I was not learning anything, and just needed to experience the world as it was. I needed to learn the things of life, I wanted to break free from the tyranny of my parents' regime, and become my own person.

The Real Danger
Allie strode down the sidewalk practically dancing as her earbuds pumped her newest favorite song through her. Her blond hair swayed and her bright smile flashes at every passerby. She jogged into the coffee shop and easily found her friends at one of the corner tables.

Students in Marketing
The current state of the market for goods and services makes producers pay more attention to consumers. Not just the question “Who will be a consumer of our products, and what are his needs?” comes to the fore, but rather “What are the characteristic features of a consumer of our goods?”

Job Searching
Sometimes, life seems to trap us in this mindset where we think we're stuck, and while you may actually be stuck, you should realize that you don't have to be. For me personally, there's always this point in the morning when I'm reflecting on how I've been living my life recently, what I could do differently to help the day go smoother, how I can be helpful to others as well as myself, when I realize that I'm doing the best that I can. While this helps me feel like I'm visualizing where my day could go, it never takes me anywhere. It's because I'm so focused on this feeling that I'm stuck, and this "I can't do this without acquiring this thing first." And while in certain situations these things are true, I realize I create the reality that I'm living. I let myself get here. So, whenever I'm down, I start watching inspirational videos like "Stop searching for your passion" in my spare time and I write in my spare time. While these things can be helpful in self-exploration, they aren't benefitting my life immediately. Obviously, that's not what these things are meant to do, but it's because I spend so much time and focus on these things, that I don't get much productivity done that benefits my wallet. I try and that's all I do.

Renaissance Woman in the 21st Century
From as far back as I remember, I wanted to be a renaissance woman. I found myself curious about everything. So when asked, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I wouldn't have a specific answer. I wondered, why couldn't I have the opportunity to explore all fields, and then decide. How could I make the decision without even knowing what the different subjects entailed? How would I find out if I was good at them or not. I couldn't understand why one could not learn about everything. Why could one not be introduced to all the different subjects, topics, and fields? Why did we have to choose one or the other?
