University 'Freshers' Week Anti-Survival Guide
If you’re like me and perhaps you’re sick of hearing about ‘freshers’ as the start of the university year approaches, that’s probably the natural reaction. I have never been much of a party-person or a person-person, and if you’re like me, every time you hear the word ‘freshers’ being brought up in a conversation, it sounds like hell-on-earth. That would be an accurate way to describe it.

First Year College Nightmare
When people think of moving away from home, and taking their first step into the world as an adult, most would feel excited. Even though I enjoyed my family and being home, I was also looking forward to the new experience. My main fear was making friends.

What Are the Objectives of Early Childhood Education
Little kids are the blooming buds of our society, and therefore, it becomes important to nurture these young minds so that they become responsible citizens tomorrow. Hence, it is necessary to start molding these kids right from childhood to help them identify the good and the bad, make them understand cultural differences and form a foundation which will help them in their life journey. The young brains are more susceptible to danger if not given appropriate guidance and hence it is necessary to teach them the right things to have a more fruitful future.

Relinquishing Armor
To be an actor requires levels of strength that are taken for granted in everyday life. To stand on a stage, in front of a camera, and exploit your experiences to become someone else requires a lot of us. A lot of courage, a lot of compassion, and crazy amounts of vulnerability. But what do these things even mean?

The Daydreamer's Thoughts
Employee Thoughts Well, welcome to my mind. I work in a job where I have one job and one job only: to sell things, cars actually. So when no one is here and you've made the phone calls you need to make in a day, there's really not too much else you can get up to. So of course, like a small child, I sit here and imagine all of the things I could do if I had super powers, was rich, or just had a day off. I think about all the things I have to do this week (because if having a full time job isn't enough, I'm also a student athlete at my local university) and about how people should be able to order chicken nugget bouquets instead of flowers... Because let's be realistic, they're way more useful. I think about the possibilities that I'll have once I've graduated and get to work "for real" in a job that I love. And on those really rough days, I think about a rich, handsome, hilarious man that would come and steal me away and I'd never have to work again... Then I realize I'm not nearly attractive enough for that and continue making phone calls to disgruntled people who just want us to sell them things basically for free. It's really not a tough job, and I get paid quite well for the amount of effort I put forth on a regular basis, but that doesn't mean I can't dream, right?
