How to Study More Efficiently
1. Change your environment. Always studying in the same place can get very distracting, even if it can get your mind "in the zone" in the meantime. Your family or dorm-mate might distract you, as well as the noises outside. The room might get too cramped (especially if you're stuck with a tiny dorm), or too hot. Check out your area to find different alternatives that might suit you better. Some examples include: a coffee shop, a library, outside, or if you aren't in a dorm, go to a different part of the house!

Is What I'm Learning Really Useful?
Hello my name is Ryanne. I'm currently in high school—let me rephrase that, I'm currently I'm hell. Also, a quick side note: This is my first story I'm fighting about. I like venting a lot, but never have anyone to vent to so hopefully I can gain some readers on here who will hear my voice as I try to speak out against the shit I believe in. Alright back to the story, I hope you enjoy!

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.
