Article: . In some states, colleges and universities make courses available to students who are still in high school. This is called “concurrent enrollment” or “dual enrollment.” Talk to your high school guidance counselor about how to sign up for a dual or concurrent enrollment program. Do an online search to find out about dual enrollment programs near you. Some dual enrollment programs require you to travel to a college campus, while others allow you to take college courses online. In some cases, university faculty may offer college-level classes at your high school or a local career center. You can get through college more quickly if you take advantage of courses offered during the summer term. The summer is a great time to get 1 or 2 required courses out of the way so that you don’t have to worry about them during the regular school year.  If you’re going to a school that charges high tuition rates for summer classes, find out if they will accept credits from courses offered at your local community college. Talk to your academic adviser before signing up for classes at another institution.  Summer classes tend to be condensed into a shorter period of time than regular term courses, so be prepared for a more fast-paced, intense learning experience. If you are currently working, but plan to start college soon, you can get some requirements out of the way by taking courses designed to fit flexible schedules. Take some evening or weekend classes at your local community college, or sign up for self-paced online classes. This way, you can have some credits out of the way before you jump into a degree program. Taking a few classes part-time can also help you feel better prepared for the pressure of going back to school full-time. Most colleges or universities allow their students to sign up for a maximum number of credit hours per term. However, it is often possible to get permission to take more than the maximum course load. This is one way to get your requirements out of the way faster. If you are considering signing up for extra courses on top of your regular course load, discuss this idea with your academic adviser. Take care not to take on more coursework than you can handle. Taking too many courses at once can ultimately leave you feeling burnt out, and make it harder for you to complete your degree on time.

Problem: Article: Together with your partner (and any family members who may be helping pay for your wedding), you’ll want to decide exactly how much you can afford to spend. It’s important to do plenty of research so you have an idea of how much each individual aspect of your wedding is likely to cost. Although weddings can be expensive, it is possible to plan the day of your dreams on a budget. Destination weddings aren’t necessarily more expensive than traditional ones and can even save you money in some cases. However, it’s still important to have a reasonable, well-thought out budget and consider any extra expenses you’re likely to incur. Since you’re unlikely to be able to travel back and forth multiple times to attend various appointments and meet with local vendors, it’s a good idea to hire someone you can trust to take care of these details on your behalf.  Some venues and wedding packages provide a wedding specialist. In other cases, you’ll need to hire someone on your own. Either way, make sure you clearly communicate your vision and ideas to whoever will be helping you plan your special day. Especially if there’s a language barrier, choosing an all-inclusive package where your venue does most of the work for you can take away a lot of pressure and stress. , keeping the weather and your budget in mind. Consider your destination’s peak season when you decide on a date for your wedding. There may be certain seasons that are more crowded and touristy than others, and venue and vendor fees may be much higher during these times.  Having your wedding during your destination’s “off-season” may save you money, but keep in mind that some vendors may only operate during peak season and inclement weather may be more likely.  It’s also a good idea to talk to your wedding party, as well as your close family and friends, before setting a date to make sure they’re available. Your wedding planner may have a list of vendors they regularly work with and trust in the area, so talking to them is a good place to start. You’ll also want to look at any potential vendors’ online portfolios and ask them for references.   If possible, plan a trip to meet with your vendors in person. If that’s not feasible, consider scheduling meetings via video chat. You can also opt to bring certain vendors with you. For example, if you have a photographer you really like, or a friend who does hair and makeup, it might be worth flying them out for your wedding. Airline ticket prices vary from season to season and can be unpredictable. The earlier you start looking for a good deal, the better. For a trip as important as your wedding, you definitely don’t want to wait until the last minute to book your flight. If you’re getting married in a warm, tropical climate, you probably don’t want to be wearing a heavy ball gown or wool suit. Also, keep in mind that high heels aren’t well suited to ceremonies on sandy beaches. Make sure to suggest appropriate attire to your guests as well. You can do this on your invitations or wedding website. If possible, fly to your destination ahead of time to meet with your planner, tour your venue, rehearse for your ceremony, and make final arrangements. Arriving early can also help calm your nerves and prevent you from being jet-lagged on your special day.
Summary: Develop a budget and stick to it. Enlist the help of a local wedding planner. Set a date Find and vet your vendors carefully. Buy your plane tickets at least 6 months in advance. Dress according to your destination’s weather. Arrive a few days early to help with final preparations.

Using your dominate hand, stick the inch of a pairing knife near the strawberry's stem at a 45 degree angle. Carve the knife around the stem in one direction and then repeat in the other direction. The core of the strawberry should come out on its own, leaving a small hollowed out area in the strawberry you will later fill with jello. Set the strawberries on a plate or tray with the cut side down. Place the plate or try aside while you prepare the chocolate. This allows any excess juice to drain from the chocolate. Measure your chocolate discs into a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on medium heat for one minute. Then, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir. Heat the bowl for an additional 15 seconds and then stir again. Continue heating your chocolate for 15 second intervals until it's all fully melted. Once your chocolate is melted, your strawberries should be drained. One by one, hand dip them in the chocolate-mixture tip first. Coat the strawberries completely in chocolate. Set the strawberries, cut-side down, on a baking tray covered in parchment paper after dipping them. Place a chocolate disc on the tip of each strawberry. The melted chocolate should hold the disc in place. When done, the discs help the strawberry shots stand upright. Freezing the strawberries helps the chocolate harden. While the strawberries are freezing, you can prepare your jello. The chocolate should be hardened by the time you're done with the jello.
