How Homeschooling Confined Me
It all started in middle school, as soon as I finished Grade 8, I was asked to join a home school. I was told that that it was going to be easy and eventually ended up making my decision. How old was I? Barely 14. And in my hands came this enormous responsibility of holding captive my future. The starting two years of high school, I had been involved in homeschooling. It was calm. I didn't particularly have to deal with a lot of people, but it was surely mind numbing to me. No friends, no enjoyment or activities, though it allowed me to stay in my comfort zone for quite a long time. I didn't attain a thing, not even the right knowledge, because my focal point was totally out of it. Every other day, whether it be morning or night, I was told to do one thing and that only. "Go study; you don't wanna cry on the last day!" Despite sounding dramatic, in the back of my mind, I knew it wasn't destined for me to be in that position, and I knew I made the wrong choice to begin with.

I Hated My Secondary School
If you read my other blog on why I hated my primary school, you'll know I put up with a lot of things a child younger than 10 shouldn't put up with because it was either dumb, irrational, or just pointless. Secondary School was another hell hole entirely. It wasn't as deep as a hole but there were twice as many demons, pitch forks, and fire. That much stress shouldn't be put on a year 7 to begin with.

What It's Really Like to Be a Barista
In this day and age, coffee is everything. It is something we drink to wake us up, something we have for a mid-morning rest break, something we drink when seeing friends. Millions of people enter coffee shops every day for hundreds of different reasons, but not many consider what it's like being on the other side of the bar.

The Comedy of Your First Degree Submission
Let’s take a minute to travel a little bit back in time. When we were twelve, during our first years of high school, our final years in mandatory education, we looked up to those ‘big kids’ graduating and going onto something much more than ‘school.’ Onto somewhere more free without having to sit through Mrs. Chapman’s double math across second and third period or soggy sandwiches in the cafeteria.
