I'm A Genius and A Star Student - This is Why I Think Going To School Was The Worst Thing To Happen To My Life

A discourse on the problems with education, @vimukthi uses personal experiences and some great youtube videos to explain his very wild title on this article. The worst thing is of course subjective, but how sure are you really that school is doing anything good for us?

Week 7: 2PAC (420 to 30: A Music Retrospective)

One of the most noted musicians of all time, Tupac's life and career was cut short. His music still stands for itself, and is very deep and philosophical. User @jozefkrichards is on a philosophical music bent himself; as he approaches 30 years old, he is looking back on the music that has shaped his life. Come on over and listen, what music has shaped your life?

Cucumber: Garden Update, Growing Tips, Uses + First Harvest

Steem has the potential to house so many things, and here we see @jackdub continue to lock into the blockchain wonderful guides on plants, including their uses and propagation. This is important information for future generations, and even if you have never eaten a cucumber, I would recommend you take a look at the whole life cycle that goes into one's creation.

Finally, today we have @snook doing her own thing! She is out there testing new sites and new programs and sharing her knowledge with you. While creating all of this content on Steem, she is also learning other ways to produce, distribute and potentially monetize her words and her sounds.

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
