Technology has drastically evolved over just a few years and not only are businesses and companies taking advantage of it, but technology has even increased learnability in both students and teachers. While teachers use tech equipment to easily teach and show students lessons, students can now understand the teachings better visually. And this is just the beginning of technology—it'll evolve to bigger and better outcomes to show students the path to success.

Not My Future, Not My Class
Everything is so bright, so new. Nervousness ripples inside you as you struggle to find the correct room. A meeting with your guidance counselor for the next four years is waiting. You pass many classrooms, and most are labeled. You pass the science wing and shudder. Science was not a strong spot for you in high school and you're glad that those days are behind you.

Life in a Famous University
That day arrives. The mailman/woman walks to your driveway and shoves the important documents that determine whether or not your future career will be on the correct path. You run out and immediately grab all the envelopes in your mailbox and run back inside. You were so excited that you even forgot to close your mailbox. When you enter back inside your humble home, your parents are looking at you with quizzical looks due to the fact that you basically ran like the Flash to go to the mailbox. You do not even sit on the couch. You are standing...well, pacing back and forth literally dropping the envelopes that are not important to you.

Best Required Reading Books of All Time
There are countless books that could easily have made this list (i.e. 1984 by George Orwell, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer, etc.), but we just had to narrow it down. All of the best required reading books are classics for one reason or another, despite their vastly different styles, themes, and time periods. In fact, those are the factors that went into the selection process for this list; they were all chosen because they represent so many different kinds of storytelling and human experiences. Remember: Just because these books are required, doesn't mean they're not enjoyable reads.

How to Survive the Dreaded Group Project
Group projects are the worst—yes, the worst. They take a lot of time out of your daily routine, they are mentally exhausting, and they are universally disliked by college students, yet they are a common tool used by professors to develop communication and team building between students.

I Am Not Ready to Graduate
I have always been a good student. I excelled in the classes I enjoyed, and I tried my best in the classes that didn't necessarily click (I have avoided science courses like it was the devil).

Advice From a Resident Assistant
You were, at some point, a freshman moving into the residence halls and the resident assistants (RAs) were there to welcome you with open arms. You may have went into the traditional residence halls or dorms, possibly a cosy suite-style hall, or even an apartment, but no matter where you were, there was an RA or equivalent (my university uses community assistants or CAs). We are here to make your living, academic, and social life thrive as you go through your time at your respective university. We are those mentors, tutors, and guides that aid you through the years, and hope that you make the best of them. You may have left your RA behind if you moved off of campus, or you just got a new one a couple weeks back, but here is some advice from one RA at a state school in little town, Pennsylvania to you on how to make this semester the best that you can.

Keeping the Kids Home
Ah, winter in Canada. It can be a beautiful and fun thing, but it can also wreak havoc on the school system. Depending on what region you live in and how intense the winter is, buses could be cancelled fairly often. This disrupts learning and progress for students, but it is largely unavoidable.
