Why the Junior (2021) Class Of High School Was More Screwed Over by the CoronaVirus Than the Senior (2020) Class
This is a somewhat bias analysis of the end of this school year, as I am currently a junior in high school. While I understand that the senior class missed out on the promises of senior prom and the liberating walk across the stage to receive their well-deserved diploma; their school year practically ended in March! The juniors were the real pioneers! We had been battling the pressures of school work, college expectations, and the inevitable reality that we have to grow up all school year!

Ever wondered how lenders assess your profile for a student loan?
In simple terms, lenders invest in you, the student, when they fund your higher education. But investment comes with risk. As of March 31, 2019, the number of students able to secure loans fell to 2.5 lakh from 3.34 lakh students four years earlier. Moreover, the percentage of defaults on education loans rose to about 9% from 7% in the same period. (data courtesy CRIF High Mark, IBA).

2020 The Pandemic Shutdown Class
I never new my last college experience would be one for the history books. I am legally blind and had struggled my first college experience and finished with a certificate. The fact that I was legally blind rendered me from getting employment for over 7 years,then I was doing a temporary job in the field I had a certificate in H VAC/R doing duct work. The employer I worked for found out I was a registered Technician and ask me why don t you go get your needed credentials for the field ? so I decided to check in to it and found out I could possibly get an Associates in Applied Science with H VAC/R as my program. I struggled the first semester with my eye and magnifications. Well then one of my instructors realized I could not see as well as most ,so he decided to help me with extra lighting and it helped not only with my seeing but my enthusiasm and confidence.I really wanted this so I could open a business in that field. I had barely passed all my classes and we had a break in between semesters. I went back for the rest of what I needed to graduate and was doing OK except for the math and psychology. I was really worried then all of a sudden out of no where the COVID 19 Virus hit and then the shutdown of all the colleges. I was in shock when I found out what now I can not go back then we were able to log in and do the courses on line . The online schedule for the classes was we had more than 3 weeks to catch up on man was that a shock. 5 full time classes on line and over 10 test and 50 assignments to do,I really panicked. I was not going to get my degree then I talked to the director of my program and instructors who talked to the dean. I was so uptight and praying about it then a miracle happened,I was contacted and they said they had adjusted my degree program and it was accepted and I would be receiving my degree. I was so excited and thanking all who were involved and God for the miracle and so I am a graduate of 2020 the class of the Pandemic Shutdown.

West End wonders with my self-directed teen
There is a lot of media coverage on how the quarantine measures are having an impact on school children’s education, with everyone now schooling at home, but it is also having a massive effect on us, pre-quarantine home educators. As I was scrolling through pictures looking for our last “normal” photo, I was reminded of how much fun we were having in our pre-lockdown learning journey together.

10 Reasons Why Students Should Draft Assembly Language Assignment
Do you think assembly language is a complex subject to study? If so, don’t worry, you are not the only one that finds the subject challenging. Every programming language is unique and requires one to have enough knowledge of concepts, syntax, theories, how to compile, debug, and find errors. Earlier programs were written in assembly language, but today, many programs are coded using a high-level language such as C, Java, PHP, more.

A True Guide to Sorority Life: Written by an Alumni
Is it really like what I see in the movies? Great question! Yes and No. Depends on where you go to school. Some sororities are just like what you see in the movies. The girls are beautiful, they are rich, they all look the same, they only care about themselves, etc. They make it out to seem like there is a “queen bee” that runs the whole show. They also make it seem like every girl in the sorority is BFF’s with each other and we all live at the house, laying around in our PJ’s while we talk about boys. Nah. In fact, most of them are NOT like that! Most of them are pretty laid-back. You show up to your required meetings, make some friends here and there, and then you go on about your day. There are (some) date parties, homecoming activities, and the annual recruitment that is exactly like the movies, but that is pretty much it. And not every girl is going to be your best friend. I can be honest when I say that I really didn’t even know half the girls in my sorority (which had about 200 people). They were either way older/younger than me and I didn’t keep up with meeting them. Most of us are like that. The people you get to know the best will be the girls in your pledge class, or the class about/below you. So, in the end, each chapter is different, you just have to find the one you like the best.

We aim to become a media for rendering high-quality lunches and meals to these institutions as well as social events.
