Learn from My Mistakes in College
Learn from my mistakes in college. As someone who recently graduated from university I’ve learned a lot, most of it I didn’t apply, but learned the hard way.

Throughout every walk of life we are told that art is the child of creativity. As a student, we know that this isn't true; anyone can be an artist. Art, as a child, is usually fun and full of freedom, we are given the reins to expand our mind onto paper or fabric. However the governments and schools have took the life and individualism out of art, for me and many of my peers.

Gaming has been, for me, the one place I could escape my problems and jump into a fantasy world, where everything in the world is vibrant and eye-catching. This day in the age of social media sites such as YouTube and Twitch give some people the chance to make a living and game at the same time, but just how can anyone do this? Becoming a full-time streamer or a full-time YouTuber is hard enough, but even harder when you are flat out of cash with little equipment and or resources. There are a few free video recording softwares, and here is a list of a few:
Kid TheGamingPublished 6 years ago in JournalHow Important Are Keywords in Your Résumé?
Here is a list of reasons why you should consider using keywords in your résumé. Importance of Keywords in a Résumé Hiring managers or recruiters going through each word of a résumé to determine the candidacy of an individual is now a thing of the past. Today, most of them have embraced technology and make use of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to shorten the list of prospective candidates. Why do employers rely on ATS? The majority of applications received outnumber the limited vacancies, which makes it difficult to scan each document and understand who deserves an interview. So, how does an ATS work to decide which résumé needs to be scanned through manually? It helps the employer save time and energy and get an organized pile of documents consisting of the shortlisted candidates just by searching the necessary keywords in résumé.
Modern Ballerina/Teenager
My mother could not understand what was happening to me one summer afternoon as she passed through the living room to discover her seven year old daughter sitting on the couch with tears streaming down her face, solemnly gazing at the television. Suddenly noticing that I seemed very upset, she quickly came to my side to console me and to discover why I was randomly crying all alone in the living room, instead of outside pretending I was a fairy in the garden like I normally would have been doing. “Sofia! What’s wrong!” She asked, very concerned, setting down her laundry basket and cleaning supplies. Through tears I tried to explain to her how moved I was, watching this documentary that happened to be playing on television that talked about the lives of ballet dancers, and all of the sacrifices that had to be made for them to pursue their craft. I felt so touched to be witnessing such a level of discipline taking the form of sheer beauty, when transfused with breathtaking music and time-stopping dance sequences. My mother was shocked and slightly haunted that her normally happy, carefree daughter was literally brought to tears watching a program about ballet. Nevertheless, this moment influenced her to pick up the phone several days later to sign me up for ballet classes in the fall, thus beginning the eleven year odyssey which has henceforth been my life.

As my time at community college was coming to a close, I had done three acting classes, one improv class, three musicals, and one drama. To date, it is the only dramatic play I have ever done. It was Landford Wilson's Balm in Gilead; a very large cast, 20 or so characters, set in a NYC diner in the 60s (granted I could Google for accuracy but won't. Going off memory on this one). The diner was filled with hookers and drug addicts, and ME; the waitress. The story is not at all about the waitress, but of course it was. My director's name was Craig. He would be the first of many teachers I would look up to during my journey. He was never a creepy guy, but he did day-drink a lot, so that did color his overall approach a lot of times. After the show wrapped up, we had an exit professional survival audition where we would get direct, pointed feedback on what our teachers thought our next steps should be. I did a monologue I found from some soap opera. In my head, soaps were the first stop on a long road to a big career, so it would be important for me to get used to that style of performing. I finished my monologue, proud as punch, waiting to be told all the star power I hold inside of me.
Angela McMahonPublished 6 years ago in Education5 Things I've Learned About Being a Music Major
"What's your major?" "Music Education" "Oh." When I was a freshman in college, I had a ton of family members, friends, and just the common public asking me this question. When I responded with "Music Education" I got puzzled looks, and more commonly, I got asked what I could possibly do with that degree. As this continued on, and I started my first year as a music major, this really got too me. I continued to ask myself, "Well heck, why would I ever wanna teach high school music?" But as I continued on into this program, I realized why I, along with everyone else does it. Music is a lifestyle, and we want to share our lifestyle with the people around us.
