Here are six reasons that explain some of the reasons why it’s important to take a year off after high school.

To graduate during a pandemic
The graduate in your life half smiles and looks away before answering your question, “how are you feeling about commencement being postponed/canceled?” Their head may shake once or twice, as they respond that commencement was never the important part anyways. That it sucks, but hey, they didn’t like being in front of a crowd to begin with. Your graduate will chuckle like it’s a joke when they say they’ll save almost $70 on a cap and gown. You will tell them, “Things will be better soon,” and the subject will go on to face masks or how boring it’s been and you’re assured that they are alright.

Once upon a time, I could tell you that I was the happiest child in the world. Because everyone believed I was. So I did too.

Being A Student During The Corona Virus Pandemic
I take my school work seriously. Probably too seriously. But hey, not everyone does. I was so used to seeing everyone around me, sometimes even my best friends getting way below a C on any sort of test. Whether it be literature or mathematics, seeing someone else get a bad grade on anything somehow infuriated me.

College Is A Joke
Guess what? We are still on lock down due to Miss F**king Rona. She is really trying to ruin summer 2020, and all the plans people had including myself. Everyone’s lives having been affected by the pandemic and handling it their own way. People are either boring themselves with the overload of porn, alcohol at 2 pm, or finding a new hobby. But there is the sad realization that some people didn’t have hobbies or interests outside their day to day activities like work or school. Miss Rona is really helping people self-reflect.

Winger
Without a doubt in my mind, I feel as though I have finally found the answer to the question that seems to befall every book lover: who is your favorite author? I have always struggled with this question because I have always enjoyed such a variety of authors and genres, but I have finally figured it out--Andrew Smith. Andrew Smith has woven his way into my heart, and he has taken on the title of my favorite author.

Teachers
Nurses and doctors are having a hard time now with Covid-19. They are the heroes that many people know about. Now, is the time to turn to our other everyday heroes and those are what we call "teachers". Teachers are the educators of today and tomorrow. Teachers are taking time to shape the brain of your child, so they can grow up to be successful. Every teacher has a goal to set your child up for success. They mold the minds of tomorrow, they are in the process of creating the next prime minister, the next nurse, the next inventor, the next doctor, the next Nobel prize winner. Those successes happen because of a teacher a child cannot do that on their own. Of course your child is motivated to be great but the teacher is the person that keeps your child motivated to finish at the top. They are the unsung every day heroes that we forget to thank. I think that parents are finally realizing how hard it is to be a teacher. They often drop off their child at school and head off for work and do not see them until the end of the day. During the school day the teacher checks your child's science homework, checks their English essay, and helps them out with whatever math problem they have, teachers are the people who are willing to skip their lunch to help out a child who needs assistance in a subject. Teachers are the ones that children go to to get help with their calculus homework in the early morning. The teacher most likely does not like getting up early to get to school, but they do it anyways in case a student walks in hoping to get help with a problem they cannot solve.

College mental health
I am a 1st year sophomore at Oregon State University in the undergraduate physics program, many people believe I have everything figured out, but I don't. I don't really think anyone knows exactly what they want to do with their lives. We all seem to just be floating on a river directed toward a waterfall and we just have to coast along making the best of our ride until we meet our demise. Our decisions may lead us on different paths but we all end up with the same fate, riding down that dang waterfall. I originally wanted to double major in business and fine arts, but I fell in love with physics my senior year of high school. School is probably stressful for everyone, not only is it a big financial investment, it is a lot of time and effort. It's a huge stressor, you decide to study something that you might end up hating which wastes time and money, It's difficult. I am on the same boat.

Apps, Tips and Tricks for Learning a New Language (The Fun Way)
We all know that flash of motivation you get when you feel inspired to learn a new language. Maybe you've seen a social media post and admired how beautifully someone speaks, or seen a clip on TV and reminded yourself that you should get around to learning that new language you've been meaning to start. There are so many different programs and resources out there that teach languages, but often they can be filled with topics and information that isn't really interesting or relevant to you, or perhaps you just really don't enjoy the style of learning they provide. When I was in my first year of university, I made it my goal to learn a new language, but in my own way. I was traumatised by two-hour long middle school classes where we were drilled with grammar and vocabulary in seemingly the most tedious ways possible, while I sat there wondering why I ever took that subject. When I made that goal in my first year of university, I wanted to learn a language at my own pace, in my own way, with topics I was interested in, and to slowly build my way up from there. I have just finished my degree at the end of last year, and although I'm not yet fluent, I am confident in my skills and have moved on to advanced topics and studies, working my way up to fluency, and for the most part, I did this all for free and on my own. Sounds too good to be true? Here's how I did it.
