Dear Liz
Dear Liz, I have always returned home after summer vacation with a certain amount of dread. This state of elevated anxiety is the result of many years of conditioning—years of returning from one glorious vacation or another to find some bombshell awaiting either in my email or magnetically preserved on my ancient answering machine. Your email ensures that the tradition is alive and well.

Plastic Surgeon—Educational Requirements
Being a plastic surgeon is the dream of many. You get to help people without dealing with difficult cases. Even though plastic surgery is perceived to be the practice of the vain and conceited, it’s much more than that.

HBCUs & The Non-Traditional Student
Before I really pour my thoughts into this topic, I'd like to clarify a few things: I am a PROUD product of an HBCU (Historically Black College or University), having grew up in the shadow of the campus of Washington DC's Howard University, and having matriculated at both the University of The District Of Columbia, and Alabama State University. I'm a Veteran, an IT Professional, and soon-to-be second time student that will fall into the 'non-traditional' student category.

What It's Like Being a Host Student
Host families are families who agree to let a student from a foreign country stay in their house for a short period of time, and attend school with their child while undertaking a study tour. Being a host student is a rich opportunity for a plethora of reasons. When I was in school, I was a host student for seven years. Each year, my family and I hosted a student from Japan. If you have the space in your home, and your family is willing and able, I highly recommend being a host student at least once in your life.

5 Tips on How to Learn Your Partner's Native Language
At the age of 24, I never thought I would learn another language. I took German throughout high school, and regrettably, I never gave it 100 percent, which left me with just the basics. But now, I have the greatest motivation of all. My husband is Brazilian, and speaks (Brazilian) Portuguese. Only a few of his family members know English, so it is vital that I learn as much as I can to be able to communicate with them effectively. Also, in the future, when my husband teaches our children Portuguese, I want to be involved in their learning process of both English and Portuguese.

Navigating Life Away from Home: First Year College Students
You are a college freshman, 18 years old (or even 17, like I was!). Away from home. No parents around. A roommate (or roommates, if you are in a triple) with unknown living habits. Questions running through your head: does he or she snore? Will we be the odd couple—one messy, one clean? Will this room still look and smell fresh by October? Is she a chipper morning person to my slow-rising, “I need coffee before I speak,” mood? How much laundry detergent do I put in the machine? I have to wake up on my own?!
