Sorry, I stand corrected about the pricing. In case I got someone's hopes up inadvertently about free certificates from a football powerhouse, I hereby present free CEU courses from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. You don't get the Aggie Ring with them, though.
Family Consumer Sciences | AgriLife Extension Online Education
NB: Most of these are free, but some have fees.
Gig 'em!

Most people I know, especially from the south root for schools they never attended. They usually just root for the local team.
Heck two guys from Alabama I used to work with used to argue with each other. One was an Alabama fan, the other an Auburn fan. Neither had a college degree.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
