Why I Chose to Attend a Small University
One of the most stressful decisions in my life was choosing a college. It was around the end of my junior year that I was constantly asked what college I was attending (or thinking about attending) and what I planned on studying. For a period of time, I had my sights set on the University of Michigan, mostly because my dad and older sister went there. It wasn’t until I started touring more campuses and researched more colleges that I realized what I was looking for in a college.

A Message from A Pandemic Graduate
Though our last semester ended totally different from how it is suppose to be, realize the fact that we made it through a pandemic and other blockades. Despite the fact that we have been stripped of major events that takes place during the last two months of school: dances, senior trips, prom; we still overcame this detrimental semester, we tried our best.

What on earth is a healthy work/life balance?
A healthy work/life balance, by definition, is a state of equilibrium in which the demands of both a person’s job and personal life are equal. As a Uni student this balance can sometimes feel impossible to achieve.

Yes She Can
My decision to go back to school was not made impulsively. I always knew that one day I would go back, but it never seemed to be the right time. I told myself that I was a single working mother and didn't have time to study. I told myself that I was too old, and that ship had passed. Then one day I woke up with different frame of mind. I was bored with factory work. I needed a career that challenged my mind, not a job that challenged my patience. I had to get out of there, and I had to figure out how. Later that day, after a conversation with a coworker, the switch flipped on. It was time. I was going back to school.

Where to Continue Your Education
If you’ve been thinking about continuing your education but don’t want to enroll in a traditional college or graduate program, know that there are several other options. Not all continuing education has to be formal, but if having a degree or certificate will help you in your work, then that is certainly an option too. The good news is that there are numerous choices for where and how to keep learning.

Education in A Nutshell
To all appearances, my obnoxious and superficial opinion on the topic is that this is neither bewildered nor abhorrent. Instead, we'd better blaspheme the "dull" management from the very beginning, which fails to mitigate the foreseeable risks.

First Year of College
Attending Sheridan College's Bachelor of Animation program was my dream for as long as I can remember. I can recall being 12 and sitting on my couch watching cartoons and researching the best colleges that offered animation programs in my area. Sheridan has a pristine reputation among the art industry, the "Harvard of Animation", if you will. I don't think at age 12, I quite understood why Sheridan was considered as such, I think I was convinced I would have a Legally Blonde segment where I somehow managed to get into a top-tier school. The reality is for a lot of people, getting into an Animation (or Illustration, even) program is hard.

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.
