From balancing your course load to forging relationships with classmates to extracurricular involvement, these are the tried and true methods to nail your career as a student.
It was just before Friday 13th.
I’d say the last real day was March 12th. Leading into a Friday 13th. I don't even think the date's connactation crossed my mind, not for very long anyway. For me, this was the day before all the news sunk in. I think in the week prior, the world was running as normal. You’d hear the common noises of our old lives. The continual drowning noises of stop-start traffic and generic city noises. It was in those days that alarm clocks had a purpose. When you'd engage eye contact with strangers. When you could walk into a store and buy a chocolate bar like normal. Or go to work as a barista. A time when hand sanitiser wasn't a commodity. Sports and concerts still ran as normal and, you could support your friends and be a fan in a crowd. On the news, the virus was always a foreign problem, a distant one. You felt safe and ignorant behind the digital screen. I'd still laugh seeing my friends faces from a hand away. I could sense the calm atmosphere together and get angry when they wouldn't pass the iPhone charger. That was before they flipped the switch.

Over-education or Miseducation?
Ghana on the global stage Ghana, a vibrant and leading African nation is located in West Africa. Formerly a British colony during the 19th century, it became known as the Gold Coast due the wealth of natural resources it has and its vast natural reserves of Gold.

THE MEDIOCRE: The future of underprivileged students
The race to get to the top, even if you're from a well-heeled family, by no mean an engaging one. The success model and the standards are imposing the crippling burdens on perfect grades, pleasing appearance, music, painting, literature, philosophy, politics, and society virtuous - a problematic race.

Who Benefits The Most From Income Share Agreements?
Income Share Agreements (ISA) are not only a great way to finance education, but they also improve access to programs many could not afford otherwise. With an ISA, students receive funding for their education upfront in exchange for agreeing to share a percentage of their income over a set period of time. Here at Meratas, we’re dedicated to ensuring those who normally wouldn’t be able to afford education can learn without increased stress from loan payments.

Dual Immersion In Elementary Schools
The sun shone brightly, taking some of the sting from the chilly February morning as I made my way toward the main entrance of Foothill Elementary School in Brigham City, Utah. Erected in 1988, the building was typical of most Utah elementary schools built at that time. The single story brick edifice consisted of three wings or hallways of classrooms radiating out from a central space that served as the gym/cafeteria/stage. The flag was snapping smartly in the breeze as I passed the flagpole and entered the building.

Year 12s: How to survive A-Levels through quarantine.
It's true: the current Year 13 and Year 11 students are, frankly, living the dream. Predicted grades are being thrown around like graduation hats, and instead of being in the pits of exam preparation, we are basking in the sunshine binging Brooklyn 99. No awkward Zoom meetings for us, although I have to say I'll miss the tweets and the "Hitler hates *insert exam 2020 here*" after exams.

The life of a First Year University Student
University has always been believed to be this amazing experience in which you live the best few years of your life. It is a stage of life that impacts young people all over the world. But does the expectation really fit the reality? I'm going to be looking back at my experience of freshers, making friends, living away from home and balancing work with play all in your first year. I think that first it is important to say that it's ok if university isn't for you, you shouldn't feel in anyway under pressure to go. University should be something you want to do and experience. On that note, let's get on with looking back on my year.

Graduating in Lockdown
What comes to mind when you think of 'graduation'? The event is something that seems to end every coming-of-age movie and can certainly feature as a symbolic moment of new beginnings in practically any other genre. Perhaps when you hear the word 'graduation', you think of your own memories - walking across the stage, your parents clapping proudly in the audience, the weight of the gown and the sweat on your forehead, partly from the nerves, partly from that infamous graduation cap. Maybe you drank so much with your friends that you struggle to remember the day in its entirety. Or perhaps these are all the moments you are looking forward to. Working hard on assignments and exams, all with the image of yourself collecting your hard earned diploma on a stage, along with all your peers and friends - the prospect of graduation day is a beam of hope, a source of motivation and a milestone every student works towards throughout their academic career.
