| I love old books, as long as their still in good condition. I won't buy a book that's torn up, highlighted, or written in. You can buy older versions of many of the really expensive textbooks for really reasonable prices online. I like to buy old science books. You shouldn't have trouble finding mat... |

| I was bullied relentlessly through K-12 by adults and children. My teachers were incompetent and emotionally stunted. I wish I could've tested out of K-12 and gone straight to college. It wasn't until college that I really started to learn useful skills and knowledge. |

Try to figure out what kind of learning style works best for you and how you can use that to your advantage. You may have situations in life where you have to take ... |
