Taking A Winter Class Is Gruesome But Super Worth It

if you ever want to do something really intensive and stay up a couple of nights cramming, I recommend taking a gruesome online winter class.

I decided to take a winter class online to lighten up the course load for the spring semester. The class was corporate finance. I thought it would be alright and with the quick 4 weeks, I thought it would be enough time to get credit fast. But, wow, I really did not know what I was getting myself into. THERE IS SO MUCH HOMEWORK. Every week, the instructor would most about 2-3 modules and each individual module had about 80 slides. It was just so intensive. Then we were required to do discussion boards and interact with peers. To be honest, that was my favorite part of the course because I got to see that there were other people like me who were struggling with some of the concepts. There would often be questions about the homework. The thing was, every week we would have about 60 homework questions, and some of them were often so long and hard, that it really made me question whether I could even finish them.

Overall, I did end up doing good in the course because I did stay focused, but it was very challenging. It was the winter break, and I always wanted to visit friends. My friends live back in Queens and a lot of them often work at different hours. So, I would try to accommodate their times. However, it was especially hard when the day used to be a Tuesday or a Friday because I often had homework due then, or I had to catch up on the modules to do homework. It was especially gruesome for one week, as I couldn't visit any of my friends or rather do anything special because I had an exam and really had to study. However, all in all, I am glad that I took the class. I feel like it a brief overview of the course and it had all the important aspects of the course. I actually ended up liking the homework after the second week, because I felt like it was not busy work, but rather had all the important aspects that the instructor thought that we should know. So, if you ever want to do something really intensive, and stay up a couple of night cramming, I recommend taking a gruesome online winter class.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
