7 Things I Wish I'd Known Before Moving into Halls
I felt I knew what I was doing when I first started university. I felt scared and obviously nervous about living on my own for the first time. In fact, not only living alone but living alone with a whole cascade of strangers living beside me, in front of me and all around me for an entire year. It's not easy to begin with, so here's what I wish I had known before moving into halls.

Judgment Day
So I am a fairly alternative person. I have been for years. I got my first nose ear piercing at 16, first tattoo at 18, and started dying my hair at 14. I always knew people judged those with body modifications but had never really experienced anything that bad prior to this story. Sure, I got the usual dirty looks and inappropriate comments that went anywhere from sexual innuendo to "You were so pretty before you did that." To which I responded, "I still am."

What I Learned From My College Auditions
When I first started the audition process for theatre and musical theatre college programs, I noticed that the online resources were incredibly vague. Every article seemed to be an over-generalized list including broad statements like "Do Your Research" and "Stay Positive". While that advice makes sense, it's not all that helpful and I think it's about time someone actually made a more detailed guide about real experience. So here it is! A huge summary of what I learned about the college audition process.

Should I Create an Online Course?
The internet has gone from a concept from the mind of a single individual to the concrete foundation of modern society. More people communicate on social media now than ever before. More people buy the shopping and Christmas presents online than ever before. More people choose to learn online than ever before..... wait what?

University, Anxiety, and Friends
Before you go to uni, you have this idea in your head, this perfect idea, of how everything is going to go down. You're going to meet the person of your dreams, join two or three clubs and societies, keep your room and house completely spotless, and you're going to do exceedingly well in your degree. Either that, or you have this nightmare of an idea, one where you have no friends, you don't understand a single thing about your course, and everything is generally terrible for you. And I can tell you now that both of these images are far from the reality.

Are Universities Living up to Expectations for Those With a Religious Faith?
A “little special room” with soft mats, placed in a circle for students to sit comfortably while practicing meditation with little Buddha statues and candles is how a University of Leeds’s student describes the Buddhist silent room at her university. To create an “escape” from the stressful routine and “magical relaxed zone”, the university offers soothing music and a relaxing atmosphere, says Nefeli Karapanou.

High School: Junior Year (Chapter 5)
I slammed through the cafeteria doors trying to catch up with Jeanette. Out in the hallway, I looked left and right and I didn’t see any sign of her. I did, however, see the corner of a manilla folder sticking out of the trashcan. The same kind of folder that Elena gave Jeanette.
