Just wondering...

I know I haven't been around in awhile, my apologies. Actually, I would like some feedback. On this blog, I try to discuss things that help students at large, such as filing a FAFSA and applying for financial aid.

It has occurred to me that we are a society of "show, don't tell", and as such I had an idea. What if I took the topics in my blog that I have discussed that would be helpful to all and make a series of "How-To" vlogs? This would be beneficial to me because as a film major, I would be creating videos that I could put on my resume. I also hope it would be beneficial to other people.

And so I ask, if I were to do such a thing, would it be infinitely more interesting than just reading about it? Do you think it would be helpful to have a step-by-step demonstration on some of the topics I've discussed?

I only plan on doing "how to" videos. My actual experiences as a student are in no way interesting enough to be put on video, and as such, I can just blog those as I see fit. Please, if you can, leave a comment and let me know how you would feel about the "How-To" vlogs on topics that can be demonstrated. Thank you.

Kind of a Rant...

Don't you think schools should disburse financial aid before the quarter starts? That's all fine and good you're sending my check out on January 4, except classes start January 4. In the meantime, how am I supposed to pay for books? How am I supposed to pay for transportation? I'm not even going to pretend like the school thought through the fact students will be in class and less time to actually go cash the check and then go buy school supplies. Whatever. School can do what it wants.
