5 Reasons College is Better Than High School
Anyone that experienced the four years that was high school, understands that it was interesting, to say the least. However, four years of never quite feeling like yourself and still having to raise your hand to go to the bathroom got a little tedious at times. Don't get me wrong it was not all terrible, but I am definitely a lot happier in college than I ever was in high school. Now that I'm in college, I understand why I was always told it would get better. So, here are 5 reasons why college is better than high school.

So You Just Graduated
So you just graduated. You just listened to lengthy speeches about how many amazing things you are going to accomplish and how wonderful life has been so far. Your face hurts from smiling for so many pictures. You are surrounded by your best friends and all of the people that have supported you through high school in the most glamorous of clothing- all of it is like consolidation for that impending fear of graduation, that you’ll screw it all up after this day.

Alice and the Endless Dimensions
This time I became tired of my daydreams even faster. Not that I didn’t like all those things I imagined, and everything was really very exciting, but the fact that it was all taking place only in my mind, left me quite a lot to wish for.

Millennials Are The Worst Generation
Hello. My name is Clark, and I was born on a frosty, winter afternoon in January of the ever-so-fleeting year of 1995. That makes me a Millennial, and therefore an expert on Millennials.

Creating vs Consuming. Top Story - June 2017.
“Just as much as we see in others, we have in ourselves.”~William Hazlitt Even if you have a million followers on Instagram, there is always someone with a million more. Hours spent looking at what everyone else is doing and comparing their lives to your own creates doubt and stifles true authenticity. With the advent of live Instagram streams, incessant Snapchat posts, and Facebook check-ins, we can see what everyone is doing at practically every second of every day. We can compare what we eat, what we wear, where we live, what books we're reading, trips we're taking, friends we're with, art we're making, jobs we're performing, shows we're watching, etc.

Call Me Home
I stand alone. However, I am busy with my thoughts. The thoughts and ideas of what I must do for the rest of the day buzz around in my head. So, I don't feel alone. I pull out my phone to look at the time, but I am so deep in my thoughts that I forget my initial purpose for pulling my phone out. So, I put it away again. I stand here with all the tasks of the day screaming in my head. "Read the rest of the chapter," they say, "don't forget to take that test", they demand. I forget. I forget it all. I forget every idea, every single task, and every responsibility that I have. In this moment, as the wind billows up far behind me and pushes against my back, moving my hair and ruffling my shirt, I am sent back in time. I turn towards the wind, I feel it in my bones to turn, and as I turn, I breathe in. The carefree air enters my nose, and it feels like the air is connected to my memories. I am instantly transported back to a simpler time.

19 Years and Counting
19 is a weird year. I kind of knew what I wanted at 18, but then you know, real life had to kick in and change all the rules. Like, having to pay to go in for a check up to needing to pay taxes, which I will say I never learned with my 3.75 GPA.

Testing... 1, 2. Testing. Top Story - June 2017.
This is going to sound a little pointless. I assure you, it's not. Today, I took a retest. That's totally normal; the weird bit is that I aced the thing the first time.

Choosing to Work from Home
I'm still wondering how I've determined that the smartest move for my life is to become a stay at home mom who works at home. Even as I sit here with my duct tape-covered laptop while Tumble Leaf plays on the television to distract my kids, I don't understand how I thought this was the best choice for supporting my family.

4 Powerful Ways You Can Tip Without Feeling Guilty
The hospitality industry expects you to tip their employees and employees expect to be tipped. Your bill arrives, and, under the guise of making it easier for the customer to calculate the tip, owners provide at least 3 options; the minimum amount is usually 15 - 18% and it heads north from there to at least 20% - remember when the minimum was 10%?
