Professor Issues
Being a college student has opened my eyes on how repetitive education is. I mean some professors have reasons to their methods and others have absolutely no idea how to teach college students. I am practically an adult and paying to go to school, yet some professors think they are teaching kids. I have this English professor that would start a sentence and call on of us in the class to finish the sentence. It could be about any topic in the world and we would fix what she wrote incorrect on the board to teach grammar, cool right? Wrong. Instead of talking to us like we were adults, she would start out saying, "JOHN DOE! Finish the sentence. Okay, now class, what ... (Pause) ...did I ... (Pause) ... do wrong ... (Pause) ... in writing ... (pause) ... this sentence ... (pause) ... that John ... (pause) ... gave us?" She talked so slow and I swear she was killing the brain cells that controlled my needs of motivation.

Being Productive
Most times when we are feeling the least productive, it is because of the environment we surround ourselves with. So many distractions to tempt us, steering us away from what we actually need to do. Of course, there's things we want to do, but they're much more exciting than writing that essay or email, or getting all of your assignments done.

10 Tips for Starting Grad School
When I took the plunge and went back to school to study for my Master of Arts, I thought it would be fairly similar to my undergraduate studies in terms of pacing, workload, and difficulty. I was mistaken. It was more challenging in all the best ways and I loved every second of my time spent studying for my MA, but if I could start over, these are the things I wish I had known.

The Future for Human Creativity
Can creativity be taught? The ancient Chinese believed that all things are made of a mix of yin and yang, that while one may predominate nothing can exist as wholly only yin or only yang.

A Job for Money or a Job for New Skills?
It is everyone’s dream to have a nice job. A nice job often means good salaries and a comfortable life. Some people equate a nice job with the amount of payment: the higher salary you receive, the better job you have acquired. However, I think that a job that gives you a chance to learn new skills may be more important than a job that gives you money.

Why I Write
I write because I can’t help it. Thoughts and feelings spill out of my mind with every waking moment, like a child unable to control their crayon within the lines of a colouring book. I write because if I did not I would be driven mad, stuck on a carousel with more weight pressing me down with every rotation and no end in sight. I write because I’m scared. I am so scared, so often and no one will ever see it. Fear runs wild though my blood and even though I know it’s only in my mind I can still feel it snaking down my limbs, tying me down; if I did not dispel it with the ink from my pen I would stay tied forever.
