How can I get myself on track with writing and publishing a book?

I've always wanted to be a published author. I've been writing since I was little, and now I need to get serious. How do I get organized? I don't even know where to begin. I'm beginning my final year of undergrad and have plans to go to graduate school. #college #student #author...

How can I make studying abroad for a semester and taking science majors work?

I really want to experience other cultures and areas while in college, but the problem is that in science based majors vocabulary can be very important. Is there anyway I can change course for a single semester abroad? #pre-med #science #study-abroad #academic-advising #course-selection

Should I trust in myself to be able to pay off student loans in the future with an exemplary university, or should I attend an average university on a full-ride?

A family member of mine has gone to an outstanding university ending with a great sum of debt. They also had offers from less quality universities for no debt.

In present day 2018, which is the most important factor in determining universities to attend: cost, environment, quality of education, or distance from home?

All of these factors are very important to me, yet I do not know which will outweigh the rest in the future.
