Do We Get Real Education at School?
I don't think that school's provide us a real education. The system is very outdated. In school, we're supposed to do great in every (or almost every) subject. The teachers may say that general knowledge is important, but in the world where companies need specialist, it just isn't the case.

Defining Uselessness
I wrote this post on a personal blog on December 23, 2015. I was a junior in college, studying English and Religious Studies at Texas State University. Since its original publication, I graduated from TXST with Highest Honors, in the top 5 percent of my class—not too bad for a dumb liberal arts student! I married an electrical engineer, who, even though most people find him far more intelligent and impressive than me, values my brain and talents more than almost anyone else does. Today, I'm a professional content writer, a teacher, and a soon to be homeschool curriculum writer. If you have supported me through my educational journey and pursuit of writing, even just by reading my infrequent Vocal posts, I sincerely thank you.

Working Students Facing Problems While in College
Independently of their background, any person attending to college or any other educational institution faces pitfalls, even more when he or she is a working student. The years that students spend in College are really arduous. With two or more classes taken, a student finds himself or herself stressed out with assignments, essays, quizzes, projects, and the like to pass each class and go to the next semester.

Volunteering in Creative Spaces
One of my favourite pastimes has been engaging with creative spaces. Whether it's exhibitions, plays, or crying to Avengers: Infinity War, my university experience has been one seeping with different artistic experiences. Of course, there are many different factors, which have made this a lot easier for me than other students, that would love the chance to do the same. Studying History has meant that I have a lot more free time than other people (I should probably be spending that time studying, but mind your business), and I usually have just enough funds to afford to go to some of these events, or at the very least, prioritise them over other things. With that all being said, something that I've increasingly found myself trying to make the time for is volunteering in creative spaces.

Is America's Creativity Threatened?
What do an author and an inventor have in common—Brandon Mull, author of the Fablehaven and Beyonders series, and the Wright brothers? These people all have an innovation that we, as Americans, often associate with ourselves. However, looking for this trait in our general population, especially our children, we often have a hard time seeing it. Where has it gone? What are we doing wrong? Our problem is in our society, which runs in such a way that creativity and innovation is discouraged, especially among our school-age generation.

Eliminate Animal Dissection
From 170 different species, millions of these helpless creatures are being dissected in schools each year. The American Anti-Vivisection Society states, in one year, over 12 million animals are used in high schools alone. Some of the most commonly used animals are frogs, mice, rats, worms, cats, rabbits, baby pigs, dogs, and cows. Most schools and universities purchase these species when they’re already dead, but they were killed to be dissected. Many of these animals are purchased through slaughterhouses and fur farms, but animals like cats are purchased from "Class B" dealers who take animals from shelters or "free to good home" ads. In other countries, cats are purchased in Mexico, then killed by drowning or slitting their throats, then sent to the US. In some facilities, they put the frogs in bags while they're still alive, killing them by suffocation. Some rats are embalmed while they're still alive. This is animal torture and abuse. These animals are deprived from a real life and raised to do what? Be cut open for 30 minutes and then thrown away.

10 Questions You Are Too Afraid to Ask Your Teacher Regarding College Assignment (But You Should)
Can you identify the blunder that keeps you from scoring the best grades in your class? If you thought writing an assignment was the toughest part, then you are in for a surprise. Most of the time, you ruin your grades by writing an assignment without understanding the requirement of the topic. You might fail to understand the topic thoroughly. If you draft your paper without clarifying the misconceptions, you may end up presenting a detailed assignment that is otherwise incorrect and out of place.

How More Music, Theater, and Dance Boosts Students' Writing Scores
In psychology, art therapy is one of the most interesting approaches to diagnosing and treating mental health problems. Instead of relying on conventional treatments and medication, patients can create and express themselves freely.

School Counselors
I'll never understand judging one persons thoughts on being sad. We all get depressed. There's no judgment in that. So if we all get depressed sometimes, why do we get pushed into categories about how we should deal with it. I don't think the world should be like that. And I also think, in every single school, there should be a better counselor. I've had a real bad experience with that.
