What Can You Expect from College?
This is picture above is from the college that I recently graduated from. As you can see from my profile, I recently graduated from this fine institution and yes, I do recommend Minnesota State University Mankato for those of you who are interested. Whether or not they have the courses you want, though, is up to you. I am merely sharing my thoughts on a college experience and what you should know.

How to Cope With the Work Load at University
When we start university, we think its going to be all parties and fun with a little bit of work in between...unfortunately, it doesn't quite work out that way. A lot of people are nervous about starting university. Just look on student forums and there are hundreds of posts about nerves when starting, students not enjoying the course, and those wanting to quit. From the perspective of someone who did a science/biology degree, it is a lot of work, and it can feel strenuous at times. But there are ways to make that work load manageable, and even fun!

Most Beautiful College Campuses in America
While academics should be the most important factor when deciding where to spend the best four years of your life, many incoming college students choose their school based on how beautiful the campus is. When comparing schools, the most beautiful campus always wins.

Tips for New/Current Students in College/University
As a second year university student, there are things that I wish I knew when I first started last year. It is what you expect, but you don't realize the effects it can have on you. With all this newfound freedom, you don't really know what to do with it, and how to use it. Let's face it—the first year is when you start to learn the ropes.

I Got Into Berklee College of Music: Here's My Advice on How You Can, Too
In January of 2016, I sat in my bedroom and opened an email announcing my acceptance into Berklee College of Music. I was proud and excited, and a little surprised (us musicians sure are full of self-doubt, aren't we?), but I knew I'd worked hard to get in, and, more than anything, I felt accomplished.

Dear Incoming College Freshman
You finally got your acceptance letter to your dream school, congrats!! You’re leaving the high school life and everything is totally going to change. Trust me, it will. There are no longer those cliques you’re used to seeing during lunch period. Matter of fact, there’s no lunch period. The best part of college is you can choose what class to take and at what time you’d like to take it. After experiencing my first year in college, I can say I will definitely enjoy the rest of the three years I have left. The habits you had in high school have the go. They need to be left behind, abandoned because college is a rollercoaster. But this is not to scare you into thinking college is hard. It won’t be hard, you just have to grind and work hard. But what I am going to talk about are all the great moments you’re going to have.

The Hell of Adulthood and University
The truth about changing into adulthood is that it sucks. I’m 18 years old and I changed countries to pursue my education. I always thought that I wanted adulthood, I needed to get out of my parents’ house, I needed the freedom of adulthood.

Chasing the Dream: Musical Theatre
February 24. A large portion of my 2018 year goals/plans can soar or crumble based on my actions of that day, February 24. As the new year rolls around, I love seeing the messages of hope and encouragement. Seeing goals made and pursued. To see individuals mentally and physically decide that this year is a new start for them. There's some serious motivation there. When I dig deep down, I understand I need to make goals more often, for longer periods of time, yada yada yada. But my goal list could turn one way or another on February 24. No, it's not my birthday, nor is it an anniversary of anything I've done previously. February 24 is the date of my audition for the Musical Theatre Program at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. For those that don't know, I live in Farmington, NM, a small city in the Four Corners area where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah all meet. In reference to that date, I want to dedicate this post to the importance of chasing your dream. To chase you dream, you must research, act, and be willing to accept the results.
