Advice to Those in High School
I hated high school. Not in the cliché, "Oh my gosh, I hate school." But I truly did. All my friends would get dressed up, go to pep rallies, talk about the latest parties; none of it interested me, never did. Yet, freshman and sophomore year, boy, did I pretend that I loved it all. I would wear all black to our football games to match the theme, dressed up for homecoming, gauzed over how "cool" the seniors were; but deep down, I did not give a crap.

Changing My Major
I am attending Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. It’s a beautiful campus that’s nice and up to date. However, it also keeps a nice, authentic historical side, especially the beautiful chapel with stained glass windows, with an interior of majestically painted biblical setting on the ceilings. My reason for choosing Mercyhurst was due to the fact it had a music therapy program in which not a lot of colleges have. Also, I liked the small population, which had a nice sense of community. I felt very welcomed.

One Semester Left
I'm a broadcast journalism major with minors in journalism and broadcast management. Since about seventh grade I knew I wanted to be a journalist. I’ve always enjoyed writing and I believe in the public’s right to information. The summer of tenth grade was when I realized I wanted to pursue broadcast journalism. I participated in a pre-college leadership program called Lead America, it took place at Fordham University in the Bronx. Not only did I meet people from all over, it opened up to me that there is a whole world within journalism. It only begins at newspapers, the opportunities are more than I had realized.

Anxiety; College & Maintaining Your Sanity
Hello friends! So, many of us are familiar with something that I call "academia-induced anxiety," which is basically when school stress attaches itself to your pre-existing anxiety. This is by route of grades that aren't up to your standards, homework that continues to pile up, and...really anything regarding higher education. As someone who has anxiety and is pursing higher education I know that EVERYTHING makes your life difficult and especially all at once. What I learned during this semester were methods to try not to self-destruct. So naturally, I wanted to share these methods! Below I am going to compose a list (pick and choose as you please of course) of activities, etc., to help you get through your journey with higher education. I absolutely hope that this will be helpful to you. Go forth and prosper!

7 Ways to Revise Effectively for Your Exams!
1.) Write about your notes. Get a topic list either by creating one from class notes or by asking your teacher. Next, for each topic write about everything you can remember from that topic either in a mind-map, a bullet point list, or a paragraph. Do this before you check your notes! This will give you a written list of everything you already know before you revise. Once you have done some revision, repeat this task beneath the previous one, or add to your original in a different colour pen. Now you’ll be able to see what you have learnt from revising your notes. Repeat this process until your list contains everything you need to know and has been written out purely from memory!

7 Classmates You Will Have at Law School
Law school. Ah, those two words carry with them prestige, promise, and pay-off. Sometimes. As incoming law students we all felt that pride, telling our friends, our parents' friend and whoever asked and listened where we were headed after secondary school.

Cosmetology School: Is It Right for You?
I started cosmetology school because I love makeup, and I recently started loving hair. I am not attending the class at a private school like most, I am attending at a community college. The school I'm going to is really good but also the cheapest (score!). I have been in the class since late August of 2017 and plan on being done by late July/early August of 2018.

Planning to Live Off Campus with Others?
As an out-of-state college student, money has always been an issue. I have figured out that living off campus is a lot cheaper. When I say a lot, I mean 30% less than the original price. Anyway, this isn’t a story about living a cheap college life. It's for living off-campus while keeping all your limbs intact. You will think, "When should I start working on this?" It's smart to start immediately after the thought comes to your brain, you don't want to waste time. This will take up a lot of your time, trust me.
