You learn something new every day

These teachers should get fired

One of the greatest feelings in the world is coming across a book that captures your interest. Not a book that you could read, a book that you find so enthralling that you absolutely have to read it. This is a rare occasion, a once-in-a-blue-moon moment. It's a beautiful experience . Not every book is going to appeal to you. Even the greatest book ever written isn't going to be for everyone. Entertainment is a personal preference. Read what you want! That's the beauty of it. I wasn't a huge rea…

There's a lot I miss about being a college student. It was a transformative period in my life. I spent years studying a field that I'm passionate about, met a lot of wonderful people, and figured out what I wanted to do with my life. That being said, I do not miss essays, exams, or randomized group projects in the slightest. I can't imagine the amount of stress that individuals pursuing a graduate degree or Ph.D. face. I could hardly handle my last few semesters of undergrad. You're telling me…

Did you pay attention in history class ? Personally, history was my favorite subject growing up. It didn't really require a ton of critical thinking, at least for me. You kind of just had to show up to class, listen to the teacher tell stories of what happened before our lifetimes, and maybe read a little bit.

The luckiest man in the world

Having untreated attention deficit disorder growing up was a hectic time. At least one point each year, a teacher, counselor, or even Taekwondo instructor would point it out to me. But I was 9 years old, and my mom didn’t accept their theories. So 11 years later, I was diagnosed and life became slightly more manageable. For those who have ADHD or even those who know someone with it, there are a lot of quirks and behaviors that are easy to relate to. Are you or someone you know constantly zoning…

The events of the past year and a half have not been an easy time to be in education. One of the main reasons for this are two little words that put the fear of god into students everywhere: distance learning. While it might be pretty sweet that you can rock up to Zoom class and start gaming with your camera switched off, it’s not exactly conducive to getting those qualifications. Not every teacher has been able to adapt smoothly to this new way of imparting their hard earned knowledge, but som…

It's challenging enough to get the average adult to pay attention, but babies? Impossible. Everyone knows that babies do as they please and you can't reason with them. But two brilliant parents found a baby hack that deserves appreciation. @dna_williams Reply to @joycesaurous well thank you! ♬ original sound - DeAnn_N_Alyssa As one Twitter user aptly put it, 'babies do not like minding their business. Gotta use that against them.' I don't even know if I want kids yet, but when I saw @DeAnn_N_Al…
