Am I Stupid for Dropping Out?
Have I made the most fatal mistake of my life? After three successful years of university, I dropped out. I had a good reason (one that you don't really need to know about), but I was still surrounded by shame. I dropped out right in time for me to graduate. One more year, and I would have completed my undergrad. Another year after that, I would have earned my teaching degree. But despite all of that, I dropped out anyway. Am I a loser?

I Got Into Berklee College of Music: Here's My Advice on How You Can, Too
In January of 2016, I sat in my bedroom and opened an email announcing my acceptance into Berklee College of Music. I was proud and excited, and a little surprised (us musicians sure are full of self-doubt, aren't we?), but I knew I'd worked hard to get in, and, more than anything, I felt accomplished.

Dear Incoming College Freshman
You finally got your acceptance letter to your dream school, congrats!! You’re leaving the high school life and everything is totally going to change. Trust me, it will. There are no longer those cliques you’re used to seeing during lunch period. Matter of fact, there’s no lunch period. The best part of college is you can choose what class to take and at what time you’d like to take it. After experiencing my first year in college, I can say I will definitely enjoy the rest of the three years I have left. The habits you had in high school have the go. They need to be left behind, abandoned because college is a rollercoaster. But this is not to scare you into thinking college is hard. It won’t be hard, you just have to grind and work hard. But what I am going to talk about are all the great moments you’re going to have.

Is Marching Band Considered an Extracurricular Activity?
From being in a high school who did not consider marching band an extracurricular activity was sort of, you can call it, mind playing. At one event, we would be awarded and then the next, they do not say to come up to the stage to tell the younger kids about the hard work we do. As being a retiree from the high school band, we should be well-known by now that marching band is extracurricular.

How To Effectively Study
Back in high school, I never studied. I never found the point of it because I didn't really think high school was that important and I would normally pass tests out of luck, but in college, studying is really essential to being successful in classes and helps you avoid retaking them.

The Disney College Program
I would like to start this off by saying that the picture is not one that I have taken. Despite being blessed with the opportunity to work in the Magic Kingdom (cool right?) I don't think I took a single landscape oriented photo... Credits to the photo go to the Disney World website.

The Hell of Adulthood and University
The truth about changing into adulthood is that it sucks. I’m 18 years old and I changed countries to pursue my education. I always thought that I wanted adulthood, I needed to get out of my parents’ house, I needed the freedom of adulthood.
