Student Commons
I'm sitting in a common or lounge room that doubles as a cafeteria of a small community college just over a mile away from the downtown area of a small city in the midwest. I've found the perfect spot with my back against the wall and a good view of everything that is going on around me. I'm done with class and really have no other reason to be here besides the better internet connection than at home. There are other smaller, more secluded spots around campus, but I choose the one with all the people in it. I know I don't sound like the introvert I probably am, but I rarely talk to anyone here. None of my friends from high school go here and most of them are done with college. Despite that, I kinda like being around all commotion. The people coming and going.

Why Is School so Expensive?
It was a total of $15,000 a year. $15,000 dollars for a single year of college tuition and fees. At a public university in my home state. I wanted to go back to school to finish the degree I was going to get, but the price alone made me reconsider.

Studio Discipline
When I entered into college as a freshman with a degree in art, I was nowhere close to where I needed to be in studio discipline. In fact, I was quite clueless. It’s easy to chalk it up to playing a sport, traveling nearly every weekend, and wanting to just enjoy the college experience. But I learned it was something that had to be trained for, just as you train and practice in sports.
