Secret PermenterPublished 6 years ago in EducationAuditions at Weber State
An absurd thing occurred this last weekend. A 28 year-old man auditioned for musical theatre with a bunch of 17-20-year-olds. He was confused for a teacher at least once. He was the only one that didn't have a parent that had to be asked to leave. He was certainly the only one that hadn't graduated high school in the 2010s. He also drove the farthest distance to get to said audition (452 miles). This man was me, and I wouldn't trade the experience for the world. I now await to hear back about my audition and to see if I was selected for a tuition waiver that would pay for my classes in full. In the audition, I learned that being the oldest doesn't always make you the most experienced, that sometimes being the last one in line can be a good thing and I'll never regret chasing my passion.

The Art of The Debate…Joes Way Your game plan for how you debate is going to be influenced by many factors one of which will be how much opposition you face, if you face little opposition, it will be much easier to walk away with a victory. Whenever I had a debate, figuring out what I was going to say was never an issue, I always had that worked out in my head weeks before hand and it gave me time to think about variable factors such as opposition, the issue at hand and the current majority opinion amongst students. Also in a debate, do not be afraid to unleash a little and verbally kick off at someone, no expletives or real nastiness though, unlike speeches, insults are allowed in debates, you’re not there to play, you’re there to win by any means.

Skunk UzekiPublished 6 years ago in Education7 Things I Wish I Could Have Told Myself Before Starting College
1. Prepare to be hit by the lonely train. Ahh man, you’re going to miss your family, especially at first. This is your first time being “alone” in your life thus far! I know that sounds scary, because it is! You’re going to feel unbelievably alone a lot of the time. Some of this you won’t really mind. You’ll watch a lot of Breaking Bad and eat Pocky out of the laundry room vending machine. But some of it will be incredibly hard and isolated, so just be ready.
Getting Into the Groove of College
When it came to thinking about college in high school, I was definitely the kid that was freaking out constantly. While my friends were laminating on the independence that they'd have or express how they were excited to go to all of the parties, my mind was swarmed by a whirlpool of vicious thoughts. I was worried, scared, and unsure. I could never understand how my friends were so excited when there have been the all too common stories of college students practically losing their minds. All of the hell and torment that I possibly had to deal with completely negated the fact that college life would be fun. Once graduation came and went, I was already feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. When it came time for me to settle into my dorm, I was panicking. I was certain that I wasn't even going to make it past the first semester with my sanity in check.

University: First Year Survival
For many of us, starting university is both an exciting and overwhelming chapter in our lives. New friends, freedom, responsibility even maybe a whole new location. It's hard not to create an image in your mind of what you hope to achieve. When I first found out where I would be heading, I instantly Googled images of the city and watched videos of other students' past experiences. Needless to say, I had created some pretty high expectations. New start, new life, etc. This was made worse by the fact that I completely hated high school...

Type MasterPublished 6 years ago in EducationUSS Strikes: Should students be demanding compensation?
We are two days into industrial action across 57 universities across the UK, with four more joining on Monday, and a further three scheduled to join from the March 5th. All of these universities have almost unanimously voted for strike action (88 percent average), and the four that are not striking are not doing so due to failing to meet the 50 percent voter turnout (narrowly too— 46 to 48.8 percent).
