Surviving School
Since school has already started, and I know a few people already seem tired of it, I figured I would share my brainstormed ideas on how to survive it! (Okay, how I survive school, haha!)

Is Your School Accredited?
“Is your school accredited?” College and vocational school admissions representatives get this question several times a day, provided they don’t mention it first. The question comes up at smaller schools; these are not the types of questions Ivy League or large state universities contend with. For them, much is assumed about the quality and rigor of their programs. For most students, choosing to attend those schools depend on the most common factors: money, major/program/certification, convenience, and preference.

Online Learning, or Brick and Mortar?
I have attended both online colleges and brick and mortar schools, and in retrospect, I believe online learning is more for the student who works well independently, and not for someone who needs information explained more thoroughly by a professor.

Should School Be Easier?
As someone who just barely started high school, what would I know about the educational system? Well, after all, I have been attending school for nine years, which is enough for me to understand the flaws of the system. In this story, I will be talking about the scheduling of school, the way that teachers teach, and the overall affect of school.

How to Survive Rehearsal
Do you ever wonder what a peaceful rehearsal is like? For a lot of theatre companies, a calm, easy-going rehearsal is a very rare occurrence. The typical pre-show rehearsal usually involves misplaced props, a long line for the bathroom, and at least one temper tantrum. Don’t worry, there are a few things you can do to survive your six hours in the black box. If you use your time wisely, find a way to avoid getting mobbed for food, and make sure you have a pencil at all times, your rehearsal might be a bit more bearable.

Being an English Major
I go to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. It's big and notable alumni include a bunch of scientists and Clay Aiken....that's about it. I knew I wanted to do something with writing when I was a senior in high school, I just wasn't sure what. I saw a career counselor and they had the bright idea of combining something I love, like art, movies, and music, with writing, which is something I enjoy anyway (I'm here, ain't I?) "You could be a reviewer!" And just like that, I was sold into a world of Shakespeare, AP style guides, and abstract poetry that I have a new appreciation for. I honestly can't think of another major I would rather be studying as of now. Music majors have no time, art majors spend a fortune on supplies, theater majors have to study tech theater, which is a whole thing, and with english all you need is paper and a pen or a laptop and a book and it's just simpler.

The Bottom of the Slide
Now that most of us are a few weeks into the school year, we're starting to see the backslide that naturally occurs after a summer of... well... summer stuff.

The Graduation Freak Out!
So... It's nearly midnight and I am listening to Adele (Never a wise move if your already in a musing frame of mine!) and I've come to the terrifying conclusion that I am actually graduating tomorrow. This sounds like a rather stupid thing to say as factually that's correct and it shouldn't be a terrifying notion it should be an exciting one. However until this very moment, the very night before I graduate, I hadn't fully comprehended what that means. It means the safe three years that have guided me to this moment are now officially behind me. Yes, it means I have to enter the real world but it also leaves me with a nauseous sense of being untethered from the ground, like being up in an air ballon. The friendships, the turmoils, the laughter. Goddamn it, even the lie-ins, drunken regrets, and, god forbid, the communal food shops and cleaning rotas are behind me!
