Changing My Major
I am attending Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. It’s a beautiful campus that’s nice and up to date. However, it also keeps a nice, authentic historical side, especially the beautiful chapel with stained glass windows, with an interior of majestically painted biblical setting on the ceilings. My reason for choosing Mercyhurst was due to the fact it had a music therapy program in which not a lot of colleges have. Also, I liked the small population, which had a nice sense of community. I felt very welcomed.

One Semester Left
I'm a broadcast journalism major with minors in journalism and broadcast management. Since about seventh grade I knew I wanted to be a journalist. I’ve always enjoyed writing and I believe in the public’s right to information. The summer of tenth grade was when I realized I wanted to pursue broadcast journalism. I participated in a pre-college leadership program called Lead America, it took place at Fordham University in the Bronx. Not only did I meet people from all over, it opened up to me that there is a whole world within journalism. It only begins at newspapers, the opportunities are more than I had realized.

Anxiety; College & Maintaining Your Sanity
Hello friends! So, many of us are familiar with something that I call "academia-induced anxiety," which is basically when school stress attaches itself to your pre-existing anxiety. This is by route of grades that aren't up to your standards, homework that continues to pile up, and...really anything regarding higher education. As someone who has anxiety and is pursing higher education I know that EVERYTHING makes your life difficult and especially all at once. What I learned during this semester were methods to try not to self-destruct. So naturally, I wanted to share these methods! Below I am going to compose a list (pick and choose as you please of course) of activities, etc., to help you get through your journey with higher education. I absolutely hope that this will be helpful to you. Go forth and prosper!

The Importance of Writing Groups
When I started getting serious about my writing a few years ago, one thing I knew I would need is the help of others. People who were like-minded in regards to writing and publishing and who were experienced at performing both. That's when I decided to seek out local writing groups and see if they would be a good fit for me and my writing goals.

Is Going Back to a Previous Workplace a Good Decision?
Returning to the same workplace after resigning can be bewildering as a lot of things go on in one's mind. The person might even be skeptical as he/she might think that going back to a previous workplace can raise unnecessary questions, and they may have to experience discrimination and mistreatment. However, the current trend points out that the employees are open to the idea of returning to their previous jobs. These employees are known as 'boomerang employees'. And according to a study by workplacetrends.com, about 40% of the interviewed companies said they have hired about half of their former employees who have reapplied.

7 Ways to Revise Effectively for Your Exams!
1.) Write about your notes. Get a topic list either by creating one from class notes or by asking your teacher. Next, for each topic write about everything you can remember from that topic either in a mind-map, a bullet point list, or a paragraph. Do this before you check your notes! This will give you a written list of everything you already know before you revise. Once you have done some revision, repeat this task beneath the previous one, or add to your original in a different colour pen. Now you’ll be able to see what you have learnt from revising your notes. Repeat this process until your list contains everything you need to know and has been written out purely from memory!

7 Classmates You Will Have at Law School
Law school. Ah, those two words carry with them prestige, promise, and pay-off. Sometimes. As incoming law students we all felt that pride, telling our friends, our parents' friend and whoever asked and listened where we were headed after secondary school.

How To Get Better Freelance Jobs
Being a freelancer isn't easy. And if we were honest about it, it can be downright brutal. You're always on the hunt for a new gig, you may have clients that just like to tear you down, and at times, there's no real way to figure out if your work will be accepted.
