So, College Isn’t For You
So all your life you’ve been told that you have to go to college in order to be successful. I’m sure by now, a lot of people know that isn’t true. There is proof in the people who are billionaires and do not have a college degree.

What they don’t tell you is the stress and strain it puts on you and the ones you love. Everyone around you has expected you to get a degree and become this cookie cut out of society but deep down, you know that’s that what you were made for. And it all comes down to one simple thing.

The Key to Confidence Lies in Words
The blanket of snow that covered Alaska’s towns gave off an isolating affect to its inhabitants. As a result, I grew up being extremely shy for a child and always felt anxious when holding conversations. This formed the perfect disaster for education during my elementary years.

My Life as a Born Again Culinarian
I went to culinary school because I love food. But not just any food. I love greasy homestyle comfort food that mama used to make. The real version of Southern cooking, not that Ree Drummond crap you see all over. The Pioneer Woman ruined culinary for me honestly, but thanks to a few select people, I managed to pull through.

Dealing with Uni Stress
So, today I did a big step and applied for university. I’m so nervous that I won’t get into anywhere and I’m sure many feel the same, but, don’t fret, these are some of the ways I deal with the stress and how to take my mind off things. I have anxiety so I understand how horrible it can feel to doubt yourself.

How I Went from D's And F's at Midterms to A's and B's at Finals
I was stoked about starting college. My room was packed up 2 weeks before I left, I had created a Pinterest board full of decorating ideas, and my roommate and I had already been able to get to know each other pretty well. Come the start of school I was a social butterfly, going from room to room introducing myself, meeting new people, and making what I thought were going my life long friends.

I would spend a little time now and then getting work done, but my new friends always had something going on: a party, a gym session, a game night, you name it. I decided that I could prioritize my friends over school work and be able to slide by in my classes, but I was so wrong.
