Disabled at University
When I was first diagnosed with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia, I did not think that going to university would ever be achievable for me. I was bed bound. I spent most of my life asleep. I couldn't get up to go to the toilet, let alone go into school. I was devastated because I had always known that I wanted to study theatre later in my life, and I just couldn't ever see myself being able to.

Great Books About Wall Street Scandals
Wall Street is notoriously corrupt. Entire libraries and bookstores could be filled with the exposés and investigations of Wall Street and Washington corruption, ranging from single individuals stealing billions from their investors to the largest corporations running nationwide or global scams. Sometimes it's a matter of opportunity, as seen in The Big Short, but other times it's a matter of long-term, pre-meditated malice and greed. To bone up on your understanding of some of these shocking people and events, there are countless books about Wall Street scandals that offer new insights, deep investigations, and important discussions of the ways that some aspects of the economy do and, more importantly, don't work.

How to Rock Your Freelance Portfolio When You Have Zero Experience
Let me start this by telling you that my entire "so-called career" was shaped by the oddly adequate relationship I have with the people I work with. I never had to show my portfolio to a stranger inside some cold and distant office that took me three hours of insane traffic to reach for a chance to ghost write an op-ed for an adult magazine that nobody actually reads. I also never had to have drinks with the editors at some night club to talk about a feature I thought had a decent chance to be featured on the front page of a newspaper.

A Year in the Life of a Teacher. Top Story - December 2018.
I’ve had many of you who are reading this. You should be congratulating US. Who is "US"? We are the teachers who taught you to read. We are the very brave souls who furthered our education so that you could further yours. We endured years of college and amassed a collection of degrees just so that you can go further in your life.

My Seven Deadly Sins
Picture this, a college student with nothing to lose. She does not procrastinate. She is a lighthearted soul that can do no wrong. The definition of who we are expected to become. Who I wish I was. But I sit here writing this essay, a great example of one of the seven deadly sins: Sloth. I knew this essay was due on that Friday. Yet here I am, the day it is due, typing this out as if nothing is wrong. Everything is wrong. It is a societal norm of a college student to procrastinate. Statements such as, “If the due date is not tomorrow, today is not the do date,” or my personal favorite, “Cs get degrees,” as if that is any better than doing your work the first time.

What's the Difference Between a College and a University?
The difference between a college and a university is pretty simple: One is a single school with a single purpose (kind of), and the other is a collection of linked schools. That said, the real differences in usage and understanding are actually a bit more complex. In other countries, "college" usually means "high school," and "university" is what follows. In the United States, however, "college" more generally refers to what follows high school, and "university" refers to schools that incorporate a college or colleges with graduate studies. We'll get to all these little differences in more detail though.

Writing: Blood, Sweat, and Tears for Ink
HOOK: Let's get something straight: I hate writing, because it's the best thing ever. INTRO: But as much as I love the process, we can't just publish our word vomit and call it good writing. Because that's stupid. I wish I could say it with any other word, but for our little chat today, you and I need to call it what it is. Our words, spoken or written, carry more gravity than we realize, and even when we write anonymously, they still carry our identity with them.
