Studying From Home
I am an Open University student and have just successfully completed my first year of distance learning. Although I am satisfied with my grade, a lot of mistakes were made to get it. I don't claim to be the perfect student, nor am I anywhere near finished with my journey. I still have a few more years and a lot of work to go, so I am not writing "DO THESE THINGS AND YOU WILL GET GOOD GRADES!!!" Or something similar, because I don't think anyone can tell you how to do that, for sure. We are all different and learn in different ways. These are just a few things that made the first leg of my journey a bit easier.

Life After Graduation
That is it. It is done. Over. Caput. You have graduated. After five years of sorrow, deadlines, super hectic timetables, loveless love life, meaningless jobs, sleepless nights, tasteless meals, moneyless wallets, and sugarless coffee, you finally made it. Now it is the time of your life, the time for you to shine, earn money, and go to an expensive holiday somewhere with an exotic two-word name.

I Am a Teacher and I Have NEVER Read a Book
It's true! I work as a teacher in secondary schools in the U.K., I have "studied" Philosophy and Sociology and I was a decent student in High School, too (Essay was a subject that I had a perfect grade in my final exams), but I have NEVER finished a book in my damn life. I like the concept of books and literacy, like it is cute when I go to a hookup's house and they have a cute wooden library with books and shit or when people go to libraries to in movies as an excuse to have sex in the bathrooms, but when it comes to the actual reading I fucking hate it.

My Interview with Warwick University’s Venice Biennale Fellow!
Gregory Segal: What is the Venice Biennale? Victoria Pap: A Biennale can be defined as an exhibition that occurs every two years. The Venice Biennale is the oldest international exhibition in the world, starting in 1895. Today the Venice Biennale happens every year, alternating between Art and Architecture exhibitions. The Architecture Biennale uses, deconstructs, and builds spaces within the Biennale to exhibit the art of architecture, whereas the Art Biennale predominantly just uses spaces within the exhibition to display a variety of artworks.

The Safe Sex Talk They Should Have Given in School
I don’t know what you were taught in school or if you were taught anything at all, but even as a teenager I was extremely aware of how ridiculous sex education was. What is even more ridiculous is the fact that some schools don’t even discuss it or that they are even allowing calling the class sex education. While I might not condone minors engaging in sexual activity it does not change the fact that they do it with or without permission.

On Coming to America...
When first stepping foot in America, there were so many types of emotions running through my mind. I was very happy to be reunited with our father after four years of living apart, but at the same time, my mind couldn't stop thinking about what life was going to be like.

An International Graduate: The Disappointing Dream
On the 11th of July, I was due to be graduating with an MSc in Business Management. I am Moroccan and I have had a Moroccan public education for most of my life up until high school, where I graduated with a somewhat embarrassing score. A lot of public Moroccan universities would not accept me. Thus, I looked outside the box and found an affiliate university that provided a British education with a Cardiff Metropolitan degree from the comfort of your own country.

Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence
If you grew up in the States, there’s a high chance that you’ve heard of the SAT entrance exam. Created by the College Board, a non-profit organization committed to preparing students for college, the SAT is required as an entrance to university to predict one's prospective University success through reading, writing, and mathematics.

Art School in a Nutshell
I recently finished my freshman year of college at the Savannah College of Art and Design and it was quite an experience. Being an art school, many people think of all kind of different things when they hear the name. Well, I can tell you that a lot of them are true. I'm majoring in film and so are a lot of other people. But then there are all the other majors there, such as, illustration, animation, sequential art, performing arts, photography, fibers, and most surprisingly, equestrian studies.
