Life Lessons Learned From Being A University Freshman
DEADLINES DO MATTER!! Never forget or miss the deadlines. If you ever forget, make sure your syllabus is always by your side or stay in front of your eyes. Write those deadlines down in pieces of sticky notes and put them on your desk in front of you, so that whenever you sit down on your chair by your desk, you will see them clearly and remember them. However, if you like to write those deadlines into your daily planner, that is nice as well, but make sure your daily planner NEVER gets out of your sight, that your daily planner is your number 1 go to every morning before you leave and also every evening before you close your eyes. Regardless of your majors, plenty of professors DO NOT EVER accept late assignments. Yes, it is rigorous, it is harsh, it is strict, and of course, it is so so hard, because life can be crazy and hectic, and we accidentally forget. But no matter what, keep your deadlines at your most go-to places every day in your dorm room/apartment, and make sure that you remember them and adhere to them accordingly. Make time for yourself, plan your homework assignments ahead so you can have enough time to revise, edit, and proofread the contents of your works, and also enough time to submit your works, because there will be times you have to submit your works electronically before coming to class, so make sure you remember your deadlines and plan ahead as many times as possible, so you will not rush at the last minute. Truthfully, while in college, missing deadlines can lead to failing a class, but in the real career after college, missing deadlines can seriously lead to getting FIRED! Especially in the JOURNALISM INDUSTRY!!!!!!

Fighting to Stay Alive
After barely surviving a hemorrhagic stroke, I knew I'd have to give everything left in me if I wanted a second chance at life. I began rehabilitation therapy as soon as I came out of the coma and chose the six weeks across the street instead of 'six months recovering at home.' It's obvious now my brain was still injured and out of whack from the severe swelling and bleeding, but I know I made the right decision.

Suffering From Writer's Block
You're writing a novel and the sentences are flowing, the scene is set and suddenly, you're stuck. Sound familiar? You guessed it, that dreaded thing we call writer's block.

My Adventures as a Pizza Delivery Driver
As I find myself delivering pizzas once again, I am up for the next delivery at work and it is to a very large country music venue hotel. The hotel is so massive that the delivery drivers from work are not allowed to go inside of the hotel to deliver a pizza. If we were to have to go inside of the hotel to make deliveries to customers, it would take probably thirty minutes or longer, waiting at the front desk for the customer to arrive to get their food. When that delivery to the hotel comes up, the delivery drivers just pull up to where the valet parking is and the customer comes outside to meet us.

Working With Fabrics
Being a beginner in art or simply trying to understand art from a professional’s point of view can be intimidating. This intimidation can turn you away from trying new things. When my art professors introduced me to fabric, I stirred away from it for a while. The thought of making this incredible piece on a fabric was quite invigorating, but thinking about the thought process itself, not so much.

I'm Going Back to Cali. Top Story - July 2017.
Los Angeles, California, the city of angels, the place where dreams are made of. It's suc a cliché to say that you want to move to California but I do. The question is, what will I do once I get there? Well, I'm 19 years old so if I were indecisive, I technically have plenty of time to decide. Here's the thing, I already know what I primarily want to do in order to make a living. The problem is that there are so many things I want to do in addition to that. It really shouldn't be much of a problem seeing as there's now easy access to the internet and social media, well there shouldn't be much of a problem in theory. I like to think of myself as a modern day renaissance woman, but I have to overcome some barriers based on the current lack of resources I have.

Life Lessons From Employment
Having a job can be a great way to gain some experiences about earning money and making a living on your own. It can also be a strong lesson that people learn about the path it takes to actually get a job. However, on the contrary to all of the benefits of employment, there are still lots of challenging aspects that require real efforts to overcome, in order to achieve the goals of living your life independently and earning your own money. Nothing can happen by magic, and nothing in life is easy. But when you dedicate your very best efforts to make something happen, you will definitely accomplish it regardless of how hard and challenging it can be.
