PDF to JPG questions

A small bit of information to share. For those of you who are new to posting and keep a running post of assignments or other things that you do online, here's a great little helping tool.

I convert my assignment files, which are usual docs to pdf and then to jpg to upload them to these posts. There's several ways you can do this. Depending on which computer I'm using will depend on how I upload. Right now, I'm sitting at my desktop, so I end up using a website that converts pdf to jpg for me. The cool thing about this website is that for every 5,000 conversions, they plant a tree. The website is called pdf2jpg.net. I love this site! It's quite simple. All you do for your word docs is save them as a pdf file and then jump over to that website and upload the pdf, convert, then download your converted jpg files to whatever you are wanting. It's fabulous! Go check them out if you haven't already.

If you are looking for software to download, AVS is a great one. I downloaded their paid version a while back. I think it was around $50 at the time and I swear by them. You can add in watermarks and all kinds of things as well. I'm definitely a big fan of them because I use it for school and for my business.

Are you applying for Scholarships?

Well, a lot has happened since my last post. I finished one or two classes at the University of Phoenix  and right now am currently on a break. I've experienced a few struggles due to loss in the family as the holidays have come, so I figured it was time to take a breather. Despite the struggles, I still have great news. I am not sure if I've mentioned my efforts to apply for scholarships; if I haven't, well I suppose you know now. With that, I get to say that I received great news this morning. I won my second scholarship!

A HUGE thank you to The Courage to Grow Scholarship and to Kim for selecting my story as the winning essay from November's applicants. I'm so excited and flattered.

To all those of you who are out there attending college, I will say this: APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS! It requires time and effort, but if you apply yourself, you can DEFINITELY do it! I've even linked the first one you can go apply for! :)
