Have you ever asked yourself, “Does this choice support the life I want?”

When choosing the right college degree, we often ask the above-mentioned question. The thought of making a wrong decision is quite scary, especially for those looking to get a degree that will support their dream lifestyles.
What makes things even more difficult are the many options for college degrees. We’ve been there, and we’re here to help you. Here are a few tips on how to choose the right college degree for YOU.
Self-Reflection
Here’s the first step— Reflection
Think about your personal interests or the skills that you have. Consider the things that you know you will have fun learning. Write them down or type them on your computer. Once you’ve done that, match those interests and skills to a particular college degree.

By aligning your studies with your interests, you will be motivated to pursue the degree.
Evaluate Career Prospects
Different companies are looking for employees to hire. The next thing you can do is evaluate career prospects—research career possibilities, especially which career is in demand in the market. By narrowing down the in-demand careers, you will be able to pinpoint which one will secure you in the future.

You can also consult a professional who works in the field of your desired college degree.
Anchor Your Strengths and Skills
Let’s go back to skills. If you know you are good at something, use that as an advantage to choose your college degree. Are you good at math? You can choose engineering or even a bachelor of science in mathematics. Assess your strengths and skills to determine which areas you excel in.

Seek Guidance and Advice
College applications can be taxing and confusing. However, you have an entire support group in the form of your mentors, teachers, and even career counselors. Do not be afraid to seek guidance.

Seeking guidance can help you gain insight into what you should consider when choosing your degree.
Financial Considerations
Next up is financial considerations. College is not cheap unless you get yourself a full scholarship. Make sure to research scholarships, grants, and financial aid projects that universities or organizations offer. Consider a course that is worth every investment, one that gives you financial and career security in the future.

Moreover, there are alternatives you can explore, such as community colleges or online programs, if you are thinking of going for a more affordable option.
Long-Term Goals and Personal Growth
There’s a word that’s been repeated in this article— security. To attain financial and career security, you have to think about the goals that you have that are long term. Do your goals align with your career? And, of course, personal growth. Choose a degree that you know will mold you into a successful and secure person.

Stay Open to Change
Here’s a slightly hard pill to swallow. There will be instances when your first college degree is not for you. And yes, it’s quite expensive to change courses, but it’s not impossible. If you think that your current college degree does not really resonate with you and your goals, you are free to change.

Keep an open mind and welcome new opportunities. Adapt and explore different paths because this way, you will be able to discover more about yourself.
A degree is more than a diploma, medal, or recognition. It is something that allows you to improve your career opportunities and personal growth and turn your aspirations in life into reality.
Making a big life decision is pretty scary. But do you know what’s even scarier? Regret.
Thinking of getting a car? Scratch that. The real question is, “Are you ready to get a car?”
Buying a car is a big financial decision that needs careful consideration. Timing plays an important role in ensuring you make a wise purchase that aligns with your needs and budget.
Photo from Unsplash
Here are some factors to think about when determining the right time to buy a car, guiding you towards maximizing value and minimizing financial strain.
Evaluate Your Financial Situation
Before buying a car, assess your financial health. Consider your income, expenses, existing debts, and savings.
Determine if purchasing a car fits comfortably within your budget, taking into account the costs associated with owning a car, such as monthly payments, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and registration fees. Ensure you have a solid financial foundation to support this long-term commitment.

Assess Your Transportation Needs
Evaluate your transportation needs and consider if owning a car is necessary. Assess things such as your daily commute, access to public transportation, availability of car-sharing services, and the convenience of carpooling.
If owning a car greatly improves your mobility and meets your specific needs, it may be the right time to consider getting one.
Plan for Major Life Changes
Consider any upcoming major life changes that may impact several things in this aspect. For example, if you are planning to start a family, upgrading to a larger vehicle with sufficient space for children and car seats may be necessary.

Alternatively, if you are nearing retirement and expecting a change in your driving patterns or financial circumstances, it may be a good time to reassess your car ownership needs.
Monitor Interest Rates
Interest rates can have a huge impact on the cost of financing a car. Keep an eye on the prevailing interest rates in the market. If interest rates are low, it may be a good time to secure a car loan with more favorable terms and lower monthly payments.
However, always estimate your financial capability to repay the loan and consider the overall cost of borrowing before making a decision.

Determining the right time to buy a car involves a careful analysis of your financial situation, transportation needs, market trends, and life circumstances.
All things considered, taking the time to plan and think the process through, helps you make a purchase that brings both joy and financial peace of mind.

Laud Studios is a new photo studio here in Cebu, and it is located in Lahug. It’s a small studio that houses a talented photographer and her team.
Do you want to know more about Laud Studios? Then you better keep on reading.

When you enter the studio, you will be greeted by a comfy, homey vibe with a dash of luxury. There is a designated space where photos will be taken.
Before Laud Studios, There Was a Dreamer
How exactly did this humble photography studio begin?
Kristen Gozo, also called “Jy,” the owner, and photographer of Laud Studios, shared that before Laud Studios came to be, she was only a girl who dreamed of having her own studio. Five years ago, Miss Jy came to Cebu from Tacloban, Leyte. She explored different career paths before venturing into photography.
Her sister and her brother-in-law established a business at a young age. According to her, they were her inspiration. Moreover, she also started her own business, a simple photo booth. She borrowed a camera from a friend to kickstart her business venture.
Unfortunately, her small business came to a halt when she had to move back to Tacloban, Leyte, because of the pandemic. After two years, she strived to go back to Cebu. And when she got back, her mom enrolled her in the Fashion Institute of Design and Arts, where she majored in fashion branding and merchandising.
During her time as a student at FIDA, she was under Mr. Jon Unson, a known photographer in Cebu who specializes in Editorial Photography.
Miss Jy expressed that it was a privilege to be mentored by Jon Unson. She graduated on October 2022, and by December 2023, she did soul-searching about what she would do next.
Her father wanted her to start a business and asked her what business it would be, and Miss Jy proudly responded that she wished to her photography studio. Thus, Laud Studio graced the world of Photography here in Cebu.
Laud: A Reminder of Her Faith
Why “Laud Studios”?
Miss Jy says Laud is a Latin word for praise and worship. She wanted to choose a name that reminds her of being a steward in sharing God’s given talents and opportunities. Because of her faith, Miss Jy could get to where she is today.
Of course, Miss Jy also experienced challenges and fears upon opening her photography studio, but she shared something her brother-in-law told her that became her rock in times of uncertainty,
“Dream big enough; be clear with it, and be intentional with your dream.”
Miss Jy proves that if you want something, you will never stop until you achieve it. A girl who dreamed is now getting to live her dreams and is making it real, one click of a shutter at a time.

Tired of counting sheep? This sleep method might just do the trick to help you fall asleep.
Photo from Unsplash
Let’s be real, unless we are absolutely exhausted, falling asleep can be difficult. Some of us might have a lot on our minds that prohibit us from sleeping. Moreover, there are also times that our body is tired, but our brain is wide awake.
You’ve tried lullabies, watching boring movies, and other means, yet you are still wide awake; what more can you do? Well, you can try the Military Sleep Method with a guaranteed 96% success rate.
Military Sleep Method Explained
No, you won’t be required to do Military exercises for this one.
Photo from Unsplash
According to some sources, the Military Sleep Method was developed by the US Military to help tired soldiers to get a good night’s sleep. However, the method is also mentioned in the book Relax and Win: Championship Performance, published in 1981.
The method recently went viral after uploaders claimed they could sleep in under 2 minutes. But does it work? The US military claims that it works 96% of the time to people who try it.
How to do the Military Sleep Method:
Relax your face, starting with your forehead, and work your way down
Relax your shoulder and hands as you drop them.
Remember to keep your breathing nice and steady.
Exhale and enable your chest to relax.
Relax your legs, starting with the right thigh, and work your way down to the calf and ankle. Do the same to the left leg.
Clear your mind and imagine you are somewhere peaceful or quiet. If your mind wanders, tell yourself, “Don’t think” for 10 seconds.
Photo from Unsplash
We all want to do something to be able to sleep immediately. Moreover, trying out the Military Sleep Method won’t hurt. Now that you know how to do it, it’s time to say good night and sweet dreams.
If you believe diet sodas are healthier than regular ones, you should rethink your life choices.
Photo from Unsplash
Soft drinks or sodas are the ultimate guilty pleasures. The feeling of cold, sweet, and caffeinated drinks is one of the best, especially on a hot day. Sodas mean sugar and an excess amount of sugar. Because of this, people turn towards diets or sugar-free products.
But then again, sugar-free does not mean healthy, especially now that one ingredient is declared a “possible” carcinogenic.
Aspartame Declared as Possible Carcinogenic
According to the study by the Food and Agriculture Organization Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization, aspartame, which is an artificial sweetener used as an alternative to sugar, is a “possible” carcinogenic ingredient.
Photo from Unsplash
When we say carcinogenic, it means it can cause cancer. Aside from sodas, Aspartame is also used for chewing gum, ice cream, and other diet drinks. Moreover, Aspartame can possibly cause hepatocellular carcinoma, a form of liver cancer.
“Considering the fact that there’s limited evidence for a single type of cancer in humans, plus limited evidence in the animal studies [and] the mechanistic studies, in our view, this is really more of a call to the research committee to try to better clarify and understand the carcinogenic hazard that may or may not be posed of aspartame consumption.”
Even if there is a lack of evidence as of this time, dieticians warn that it is possible when Aspartame is regularly consumed.
The World Health Organization also released a limit on aspartame consumption. If your weight is 70kg, nine to 14 sugar-free drinks are still acceptable, given that each can contain 200 to 300 milligrams of aspartame.
