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.

I'm Just a Drunken College Reject
It was sometime in mid-December of 2017, I was a senior on Christmas break, and to my relief, I finally didn't have to deal with some additional homework assignments for the next short two weeks.

Touch Screen Desk
Hello, my name is Joshua Roth and I have an idea that I believe will improve the way the school system is today. While it might not change the entire school system right away, it will be a start.
