Medical school sounds good in concept. Whose parents don't want them to have a prestigious career? Being a doctor is a surefire way to make any mom or dad proud of you for the foreseeable future, not to mention all of the other benefits of this field. You don't have to get an actual job until you're 30, you will leave without your sanity, and you will have thousands of dollars in student loan debt! What could go wrong? In actuality, medical school is a huge commitment and a very difficult one t…

Who really enjoys them the most?

What kind of meme would you like today? You don't know? Maybe one with cats? Well, have I got the meme list for you. There are so many memes circulating in the stratosphere at any given moment it's hard to really hone in on what you want. Choosing a list of memes to scroll through is almost as hard as deciding on what movie or TV show to watch. Do I want to have a nice night in with Bowfinger , King of the Hill, or a list of hilarious memes that will take me less than 3 minutes to scroll throug…

If you're studying hard for that chemistry exam and you've just about had enough, these dumb memes might offer a bit of relief while still keeping you in a sort of educational zone. It's true that science isn't always fun - especially when you're dedicating hours of your life to the field. But memes have a way of making even our least favorite classes or subjects a little more enjoyable. These memes that reference the science s may not make you smarter, but at least you'll get to laugh for once…

Never learn again

As a former English major, I feel like I can easily scope out a “fake fan” of literature. I don't care to do so on a regular basis because I have a life, but put a so-called bookworm in front of me and I can scope out their vibe easily in less than a minute.

Well… back to school season is officially over. The novelty of new classes and the burgeoning fall semester has more than wore off, and teachers and students are finally back at the old grind. If you are a teacher, you've probably got an idea of how the rest of the school year is going to go down. Or do you? You might think you've got a pretty solid read on your new classes, but who knows! There's a lot of days in between now and June. This school year hold so many possibilities. But then again…

Grad school is one of the craziest things you can willingly subject yourself to. You have to work 16 hours a day on one very specific subject, teach 3 courses, and live off of a $15,000 stipend. Sounds simple enough, right? Grad school is largely different for everyone, but there are certainly different types of postgraduate academics. There are the people who are in it for the long haul, and for the love of the game, aspiring to be academics in school forever. There are those who go into grad…

We're not equipped

Almost every high school has its fair share of urban legends. Most of our revolved around creepy teachers, but there were also stories of haunted libraries and supply closets, after-hours hookups, and unfortunate boners that may or may not have, uh, made themselves known. My high school was pretty tame in both this department and the prank department. Our wildest form of mischief came in the form of handing freshmen maps of the school that included a fifth floor pool. There was no fifth floor,…

Why do they have to smile so hard?

And physically preparing, tbh...

When you're in high school, you have very little freedom. One of the few choices you can make for yourself is which trapper keeper you get from Staples. This is a critical decision, as that multiuse binder won't break for at least three years, so you better make the right choice. The question of “which binder color should I choose for which subject” was never one that phased me. I simply picked the binders with the prettiest colors and chose which subjects they were for based on ambiguous vibes…

Bright college days , oh, carefree days that fly! It's almost time for first-year students to move into their dorms, syllabus week to commence, and the binge drinking to begin. College is such a unique time in your life. For many students, it's the first time they'll be away from their family and maintain a semblance of independence. You are forced to learn how to take care of yourself and not make crazy choices all the time. I learned over the course of my freshman year that I couldn't eat thr…
