The TRUE Life of a College Student
Lmao... I have to start this little rant off by laughing. I'm not even sorry about it because COLLEGE SUCKS! Most people who have ever been can agree in some aspect. College is the place that annihilates every ounce of hope in your body. As if high school wasn't a train wreck enough, college is the absolute destroyer of all things good.

A Day in the Life
Most people know, or have a basic idea of, the daily life of a traditional college student. Wake up, go to class, sit through long lectures, work, home, study, sleep, repeat. Oh and some food in there along the way. However, very few people know the life of an online college student.

A College Student
Today I want to share my college education experience. One that is ongoing, but one that I feel people should hear. After High School, many feel like they are ready to conquer the world. Sadly, they have no idea what the world has in store for them. They follow the path that has been well worn by those before, and while this path may work for many; it does not work for everyone. This is a story about going off that path, the fear it instilled in me, the struggles it caused, and the passion it ignited.

How to Succeed in College While Pursuing a Career
Invest in a planner and use it. It might seem a bit counterproductive to spend your time planning how you’re going to spend your time. However, this is the best way to figure out your schedule to maximize your productivity during the day. Invest in a planning system (such as a digital calendar/reminder, or even a physical planner) to plan out your goals, day-to-day tasks, and important events/deadlines.

First Year Experience
My first year at University has just finished. I study Drama and Theatre at the University of Lincoln and I have loved every second of it. It has not been a breeze and there have been moments when I have thought about packing my bags and heading home but now that I've stuck it out, I honestly can say that I am so happy.

Breaking Barriers
A few years ago, I decided I wanted to go back to school and become a teacher. After a few years of feeling stagnant at my then safety job, it hit me one day that what really lit me up was watching kids learn and develop. I felt I was gifted at raising them up, and I couldn’t think of a better feeling than being surrounded with opportunities to help young people discover the world and themselves. Starting a new career path at 30 wasn’t that scary. Mature students, as they call us, are quite abundant these days.

College Life
"Go to college!" they said. "It'll be fun!" they said. The college life is not all it's cracked up to be. Although it does teach some valuable life lessons that you won't learn anywhere else, and as some people say, "Experience is the best teacher!" (not always true), it does give you a different perspective of life, the world, and of what you want to do with your future! It's an eye opener and a booster, especially to those who aren't sure what they want to do with their lives yet.
