Why Co-Workers Are Off Limits
We all want to take the high road and say that we are adults. However, truth be told, it’s hard to be the bigger person when there is a break up, especially when it’s an ugly one.

Top 5 Hardest Languages to Learn
5. Mandarin Like many Asian languages, Mandarin does not have an alphabet; however, it has wide variety of different characters, which there are over 50,000 in total. However, only 20,000 are in use. Also, an educated Chinese person will know around 8,000 characters, and you will only need 2,000-3,000 to read a newspaper. Also, Mandarin is a tonal language, which means that the pitch or a slightly different pronunciation may mean a different word. Luckily the grammar and the word order are very similar to English, and once you are confident with the characters, it gets gradually easier.

The Craft of Fiction
Fiction is made up of many elements, each element as important as the last. The plot structure is one such need to be fulfilled in the story. Short story writing is something I want to try my hand in again because I have ideas that need to go somewhere. My novella, “A Return To Honor,” took 23 long years to write since 1996 when I structured the outline and put it away since I was perpetually stuck. I sent it to Tor.com where I’m 160 in the queue, having no idea if they will see it or not. I do not want to send simultaneous submissions here.

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!

Social media accounts for 28 percent of the amount of time spent on the internet in total and each user spends an average of nearly two hours each day scrolling through their feeds. But have you ever wondered why your likes have plateaued or your followers have reached an equilibrium? It could be because your profile isn't as up to scratch as you might think.

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.
