A good portion of the student population are non-traditional students, so the university goes above and beyond to offer courses at night. The professors had high expectations of their students, however, many were also very encouraging and willing to cheer us on when demands of work and family were becoming too much for us to handle. We were not babied through our college career, but we were encouraged and heard. I was blessed to have received my bachelor's degree from UTEP and have been able to move on to a Master's degree there. I tried an on-line course study at another university for my Master's degree and boy, was it a big disaster. Unlike UTEP professors, I dealt with arrogance, a lack of understanding, and a lack of help whenever I had any questions. Not to mention the huge chunk of cash I had to pay per class. I would not trade the experience I had here,......

You get more wipes than the Clorox Sanitizing wipes (or at least it looked that way to me).  They also stay wet and don't dry up as quickly as regular wipes.  However the squares are kind of small compared to the Kirkland's brand I buy at Costco, which are thicker and have texture.  Overall, these wipes are pretty good....

I love the look and feel of straight hair and have spent more than the $4.00 the Frizz Ease serum cost, to get my hair straight and keep it that way. Although the bottle is small, a few drops are enough to help keep my hair straight, even on recent monsoon season days when the humidity was higher than what I'm normally accustomed to. It also worked surprisingly well when I left my hair wet and let it dry to its natural curl. One drawback to this however, was that my hair got frizzy towards the end of the day and my curls lost their boingyness. Also, I had to make sure I put it on wet hair, if my hair was damp or dry, I had a major greasy look, and it did not go on evenly....

It not only is really cute, I was able to pack all of my cosmetics into it (and let me tell you I have a lot of them). I received a lot of compliments on the train case when I carried it with me on a recent road trip!...
