College 101: Buyer Beware

By Scholarship Media | Jun. 25, 2018

Our “money story”--the way in which we experience money, often determined by our own personal history with it--can take the form of a “poverty mindset” that keeps us from spending money where we ought to. And, as the old saying goes, “there’s nothing more expensive than being poor” (or, in this case, acting like it): when we lack the funds to protect ourselves and maintain our valuable possessions, or act as if we do, then we expose ourselves to more risks and costlier problems.

By Scholarship Media | Jun. 25, 2018

Protecting innocent children should be a top priority, not only for parents but for the public at large. The debate over how to best protect them is now the ongoing controversy, but you can dismantle most arguments into those focused on the people and those focused on the weapons.

College 101: Outdoor Travels

By Scholarship Media | Jun. 25, 2018

Experts, I have some travel advice to ask of you. I love taking vacations, but I’ve never done what I’d consider a true “outdoor vacation.” Sure, I’ve hung out outside on vacation--I’ve been on beach vacations like everyone else--but I never felt like I really experienced nature, outdoor sports, or other staples of those hip, outdoorsy vacations that everyone seems to be taking these days.

Brisbane, Australia is a fantastic place to visit for any amount of time.

College 101: Saying Our Final Farewell

By Scholarship Media | Jun. 11, 2018

I could use a second opinion. My parents called me yesterday to let me know that my grandpa passed away. It wasn’t necessarily unexpected, since he’d been struggling with health complications for about a year. Everyone in our family has had a traditional burial so far, but, apparently, my grandpa didn’t want that. I know it’s his choice, but it seems pretty unconventional. Is cremation considered more acceptable now?

College 101: Using the Law to Help People

By Scholarship Media | Jun. 1, 2018

Lawyers get a tough rap from a lot of people: polls show that we don’t think they do much to contribute to society. But, as every good lawyer knows, members of the public only hate lawyers until they need one —and when they do need one, they’re certainly happy to have them around!
