The Reality of Student Life
Ah, the student life: something that some experience, some resent, some live and some have absolutely no idea about. For the most part, every student tires of hearing the same old "oh students have it so easy," and how much "discount" we get on booze. The reality is, the discount helps but it doesn’t have that much impact on finance at all, and saying we have it easy it like saying minimum wage is fair. It isn’t.

Lost Words
Isn't it funny when you sit back to think after a long period of time has gone by and see all the things that have changed? Solely questioning when or why it happened? Some things have changed with direct intent and other things have changed while we hardly notice. Then one day (likely while you're cooking dinner) you think — "How and when did that happen?"

Hard Skills vs. Soft Skills: What Is the Difference?
We live on a planet that is governed by the fundamental law — “survival of the fittest.” It is applicable to every living organism on this planet. Survival is the first and foremost goal of every living being. However, in order to ensure it, it is important to posses the right capabilities and skills. Be it predators that need to learn to hunt for their survival, or birds that need to fly, all of them need to be adept in acquiring the right dexterity which is essential for their survival. Humans initially needed skills that were necessary to protect themselves from the immediate threats. However, the nature of skills that were required for evolving, and the old skills that were once necessary became obsolete. With the development of society, survival of the people was inter-dependent. This made it essential for the people to acquire skills that could be put to use in order to service the needs of the society, and in exchange, earn a living and a respectable position in the society.

It's as if it was my purpose in life. To help someone; heal someone; and if the need arises... rescue someone. So I joined the county fire department.
