how does the class work in college differ from high school?

They always say college is very different from high school and that the work is more difficult. I'd like to know how the work is different and what you can do to succeed in the classroom. #classswork #college

Where is the best place to buy college textbooks?

I know amazon prime is a good online access to everything to buy. Should I buy it in person to make sure it is in good condition? I have also heard about websites that sell used textbooks? Is that trustworthy? Is buying a used textbook worth it?

What are some tips you can give to someone who is job interviewing and the person who is doing your interview is two times younger then you and you sense that the age difference is not an issue for you but seems to make the interviewer uncomfortable?

In a job interview, it seems hard to talk about how great you are without seeming like a braggart. How do you promote yourself without coming across as conceited or pompous?

I've only had a few job interviews and struggle with this aspect of the process.
