Why You Should Drop College!
I am you. I was enrolled in college for two consecutive years, watching videos of people living their lives, having large imaginations, and feeling trapped. Feeling like it's my time to join the drop out movement, but so nervous to take out my safety net. No college means it's just YOU. That's a scary concept. But a rewarding move.

Choosing an Undergraduate College for Pre-Health Students, and Why Ivy-League Does Not Matter
Getting into an Ivy League school was my dream in high school. I was the typical student that stressed too much about grades, and participated in many extracurriculars. However, most of my extracurriculars were irrelevant to me–they were other items to put on my college application to make me “stand-out” in the high pool of overachieving applicants applying to ivy leagues.

Benefits of Description
As a writer, it is essential the message is clear, and well understood. This clarity mainly comes from how the paper is worded and organized. Being a descriptive writer reaps many benefits for both the author and reader. I believe descriptive writers, such as myself, focus on the reader more than anything. Making sure the reader understands and comprehends is one of my main priorities when composing an essay. I have learned being vague comes from my assumption that readers already possess the same prior knowledge as myself. Explaining my ideas and thoughts also helps me think, which is one of the many benefits I have received from being a vivid author. Because I am a descriptive writer, I am trained to search for detail, as well as being able to communicate to various audiences, and voice my stance on a certain subject.

What I Learned Moving to College
I am an only child, and I decided to move halfway across the country for school. By myself. No family anywhere near me. It was a weird experience. I was so happy being on my own, I have a job that I hate, I have to buy groceries, I have a failing love life—oh my, God! I'm a real adult!

Things People Don't Tell You After Finishing Culinary School
I graduated from a local catholic private school in 2013. From a small city know for historical tourism. Out of 42 people in my graduating class, I was the ONLY one that was going to go to a trade school which seemed to be frowned upon. Apparently community college was more elite than the option I had decided to take.
