My One Year Student Loan Payoff Update

  January 28, 2022 marked my one year anniversary of paying off my student loans . Reflecting back on choosing to pay off my student loans leaves me with several take a ways that I want to share with you! In September 2020 I decided to become debt free by utilizing the debt snowball method to pay off all my debt. Before this I had struggled to save and really understand basic financial principles. As a first-generation college student, I received a scholarship to attend undergrad for free, but the scholarship did not cover summers. During the summers I took out student loans to cover costs without paying interest rates or how much I was taking out. By the end of undergrad I had amassed a little under $17K. Fast forward to graduate school I received another scholarship that covered my education. At the time I was a teacher in a new very expensive city and I had missed the cutoff to have my paycheck last me throughout the summer. So, I decided to take out a loan for two summers to ...

Adult Daily Living Skills: Pigs in a Blanket (Air Fryer Recipe)

 Guys I love a quick and easy recipe especially towards the end of the week when I do not feel like cooking. Cooking is one of the most important Adult Daily Living Skills and probably one of the most tedious next to cleaning. Think about it what would happen if you did not know how to cook? In addition to your stomach letting you know immediately, your mood would suck and you would be miserable. Remember that Snicker’s commercial? That’s right you are NOT yourself when you’re hungry!  

Figure 1: This is a YouTube thumbnail of my video on “ADL: Pigs in a Blanket (Air Fryer Recipe) with several pictures of me preparing them. 



So I didn’t turn into the UN-jolly green giant due to my hunger I decided to make pigs in a blanket in my Air Fryer since I knew that I already had the ingredients. The recipe only called for hotdogs, biscuits, and an Air Fryer all of which I had. I started by opening the can of biscuits and spreading them out on a plate before cutting the hotdogs up in small sections. I made sure to press the biscuits out some so the hotdogs would fit inside.

Figure 2: This is a photo of biscuits and hotdogs on a plate.

 

I would recommend using a great brand of biscuits as this is what really makes the recipe. I then put the hotdogs in the middle of the biscuits and rolled up the sides to make sure it was covered completely. I actually ran out of biscuits and had to put two hotdogs in a few of the biscuits but it worked out just fine. Be sure to grease your Air Fryer with cooking spray so they don’t stick and then set the Air Fryer on 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes.

 

Figure 3: These are my biscuits with the hotdogs rolled inside of them on a plate.

 

Make sure the biscuits and hotdogs are completely cooked. You can jazz it up with a nice dipping sauce for more flavor. I used ketchup and mustard mixed together and it tasted great! Be sure to check out my eBook below where I have another fun and easy Air Fryer recipe!

How to Get a Free Doctoral Degree

Hey Guys! It’s been awhile right?! I know but I am back and ready to give you all the information you need! If you missed it last week on my channel , I discussed how you can get a free doctorate degree. If you’ve been following my doctoral journey, then you know that I am currently working towards my doctoral degree in higher education. I recently finished all of my coursework and I am officially working on my dissertation proposal this semester. I chose to work at a university so that I could not only work with students but so that I could also receive a discounted education. In the beginning of my journey, I received a $1,600 stipend towards my courses, and I paid fees out of pocket. I also received several scholarships along the way that helped to cover most of my fees. Last year my university decided to cover doctoral degrees at 100% for all professional staff which was a major benefit. While I understand that most folks do not want to join the education world don’t let this s...

Top 5 Tips for First Time College Students

  Last week my office hosted our very first summer camp for transition age youth with disabilities. Many of the students were away from home for the first time and had never been exposed to a college environment before. The aim of the camp was to provide the students with an introduction to college life to assist them in their transition from high school to college. The students had a great time and so did our office. But that got me to thinking on what would I recommend for first time college students. As a first generation college student myself there were so many things that I didn’t know and I wanted to make sure our campers would be better prepared than I was. Take a look at my top five giveaways for first year students: 1.       Advocacy Many times students are so used to their parents doing everything for them that when they get to college and staff cannot event speak to their parents without consent they are like fish out of water. Things do not...
