Different Learning Styles
Visual learning is about seeing stuff. As a clairvoyant, I get to see a lot of different things in my dreams, visions or seeing auras in general. Auditory learners like to listen to tape-recorded lectures as one learning strategy that they can have. Verbal writing or speeches is another type of learning style. Physical learning involves using touch and your body to process information. Logical people use logic to reason about things, as well as systems. Social learning implies you learn in groups or with other people, solitary learners like me prefer to sit alone with books or using self-study methods.

The "No Child Left Behind" Law
Who came up with this law? Sometimes, a child should be held back a grade because of slow learning or having issues with learning. I know a girl who her mother wanted her to be held back, but the school wouldn't because of this law. The sad thing is the girl is now a teenager at seventeen and cannot tell time on a standard clock, nor can she count money or change back.

Realization
From birth, we have things instilled in us. These are ideas, concepts, and beliefs that we've had since we can remember. Because they were instilled in us, we never had any contradicting thoughts towards them. But now we're getting older. We're growing and so is our awareness. Through that awareness, we're realizing that we have to unlearn a lot of what we were taught at a young age. One of which is school. School always gave off this feeling that we weren't shit without it. We look at people funny if they dropped out or didn't have good grades. How we went about school has always played a significant role in how we were perceived. But here's the thing: none of that shit is real. it's fake. School is absolutely not the end all, be all. As a matter of fact, school fucking sucks.

The College Trap
Modern society likes to tell us that nothing in life will have any meaning or will be able to be achieved unless you go to college. For me, college was an escape from a life where I felt like I was stuck in a cycle—work, sleep, eat, work: rinse and repeat.

Architecture School: What You Should Know... In Advance
Starting at architecture school is quite an otherworldly experience. You happen to study interesting projects, develop a wide range of skills, and grow as a creative professional. Nevertheless, it can be pretty hard if you are a novice to this because it is a very specific yet ambiguous field and most of the pre-university education does not really cover its fundamentals. Things can get even more complicated if you are an international student studying abroad. I have moved to my second year of architecture school in the UK and would like to share my experience for those who are interested and possibly uninformed about the course. I will mainly cover the article with studio culture, design process, and tools, and skills needed for an architecture student. So, here we go...
