Where to Continue Your Education
If you’ve been thinking about continuing your education but don’t want to enroll in a traditional college or graduate program, know that there are several other options. Not all continuing education has to be formal, but if having a degree or certificate will help you in your work, then that is certainly an option too. The good news is that there are numerous choices for where and how to keep learning.

Education in A Nutshell
To all appearances, my obnoxious and superficial opinion on the topic is that this is neither bewildered nor abhorrent. Instead, we'd better blaspheme the "dull" management from the very beginning, which fails to mitigate the foreseeable risks.

First Year of College
Attending Sheridan College's Bachelor of Animation program was my dream for as long as I can remember. I can recall being 12 and sitting on my couch watching cartoons and researching the best colleges that offered animation programs in my area. Sheridan has a pristine reputation among the art industry, the "Harvard of Animation", if you will. I don't think at age 12, I quite understood why Sheridan was considered as such, I think I was convinced I would have a Legally Blonde segment where I somehow managed to get into a top-tier school. The reality is for a lot of people, getting into an Animation (or Illustration, even) program is hard.

College Is A Joke
Guess what? We are still on lock down due to Miss F**king Rona. She is really trying to ruin summer 2020, and all the plans people had including myself. Everyone’s lives having been affected by the pandemic and handling it their own way. People are either boring themselves with the overload of porn, alcohol at 2 pm, or finding a new hobby. But there is the sad realization that some people didn’t have hobbies or interests outside their day to day activities like work or school. Miss Rona is really helping people self-reflect.

Advice to a boy lonely in college
One day, one of these lockdown days, you’ll come back to your hostel room in downtown Montreal, switch on the lights, and look down upon the evening lights of Sherbrooke Avenue far below — and you’ll suddenly feel utter loneliness.

College mental health
I am a 1st year sophomore at Oregon State University in the undergraduate physics program, many people believe I have everything figured out, but I don't. I don't really think anyone knows exactly what they want to do with their lives. We all seem to just be floating on a river directed toward a waterfall and we just have to coast along making the best of our ride until we meet our demise. Our decisions may lead us on different paths but we all end up with the same fate, riding down that dang waterfall. I originally wanted to double major in business and fine arts, but I fell in love with physics my senior year of high school. School is probably stressful for everyone, not only is it a big financial investment, it is a lot of time and effort. It's a huge stressor, you decide to study something that you might end up hating which wastes time and money, It's difficult. I am on the same boat.

RIP Summer Internships
I started my internship search in October. My spreadsheet was color-coded, in a three-tier system. My three internship levels were First Class, Basic Economy, and Peasant. I told myself for months that no matter what, I would have a summer internship in Washington D.C. New York City. My biggest fear? Spending summer 2020 in my hometown. *Insert laughter here*

Pruning the Beast
In my early thirties, I threw out my bathroom scale. I could no longer tolerate the daily measuring of my weight—up a few pounds and my mood turned dry and cracked, like an old desert father’s skin, for the rest of the day. Down a few pounds and I suddenly though I was Cindy Crawford. After twenty years of measuring my worth through the size of my body, this was a game I could no longer tolerate and gone it was. As long as I fit in my favorite pants, I’m good. If I can’t button them, something needs to change.

I’m at the wrong school
I am a big golfer and so that played a large part in where I went to school. I didn’t play the kind of tournaments that I needed to to get on a big school’s D1 roster. Despite this I had a strong reputation as a great player in my home town. This led to countless D3 offers from coaches thinking they found a diamond in the rough. I wanted to play college golf so bad so I chose to go to one of these smaller D3 schools. It was the liberal arts school just down the road from my high school. I was never excited about the decision to be honest, it was just my next school, and it wasn’t the big school that I wanted. On top of this my dad has bullied me out of living on campus. I was going to live on campus, and every time I brought it up to my dad he threw a fit until he said “you’re going to school right down the road. Don’t be dumb. If you live on campus I’m not guaranteeing your loans”. He is going to buy me a car which will be similar to paying for room and board so obviously this is all just a power trip for him.
