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.

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. You are amazing, there’s no need to put yourself down by thinking they won’t want you or someone could be better than you, the only person who can get you where you want to be is yourself and you have to strive to achieve the things you want in life.

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. Classes start up and things became more difficult. 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.

The Importance of the Arts. Top Story - November 2017.
Whether people are willing to admit it or not, the arts are currently under attack in our nation's education. Funding is being pulled away from the arts or, in some cases, arts programs are getting cut from the programs offered entirely. Sometimes this is done in an effort to allocate funds to another department, like sporting programs, and others it's done in an effort to cut corners in a tight budget. Despite the quality of excuse, severely cutting the funding of arts programs or arts programs altogether can be highly detrimental to the students' overall educational experience.
