5 Reasons I Studied an Art Foundation. Top Story - September 2018.
So exactly a year ago tomorrow I moved 190 miles away from home to Leeds to study an art foundation degree at Leeds Arts university. I hadn't even considered a foundation and barely knew what it was about around a year and a half ago; so I'm writing this to inform and maybe even help others with their decisions if thinking about entering the creative industry.

The Bedtime Story. Top Story - August 2018.
I’ll love you forever,I’ll like you for alwaysAs long as I’m livingMy baby you’ll be. These four lines are repeated throughout the children’s story Love You Forever by Robert Munsch, illustrating that unconditional love is due between children and parents in American culture. It does so by presenting the reader with illustrations of a child throughout relatable stages of youth and adulthood. As he grows, he becomes more of a troublemaker, but the repeated, almost musical refrain in the epithet above ends each page to remind the reader and the child in the story that they will be loved and forgiven for mistakes they make as they get older. The other side of this is that the mother grows as well and eventually gets old enough to where the child is an adult, holding her, and their roles are reversed. Finally, the boy in the story is an adult and holds his own infant daughter, ending the book with them both singing the same refrain.

5 Stages of a College Senior. Top Story - June 2018.
Every year, over a million students graduate from colleges all over the globe. They stand proud in their cap and gowns, ready to take their diploma with a smile. To the audience, they’re entirely poised and prepared to take on the world. In reality, they’ve had ten mental breakdowns, slammed out a 30-page thesis paper, and shotgunned two cases of beer (or bottles of wine)… all within the last seven days. And that’s not even the half of what we students endure throughout our whole senior year.
