You Want to Be a What?
Most people know what they want to be when they grow up. "I want to be an astronaut/firefighter/police officer/scientist,” etc. But I didn’t have that kind of experience. Even at 24, almost 25, I’m still having moments of, “What do I want to be when I grow up?” In middle school, the answer would have been, “I want to be a writer.” That was seventh grade when my English teacher told me I had a knack for writing fiction. Class writing assignments came back with near glowing remarks, and the confidence boost was phenomenal. In high school, I was conflicted and changed my mind to “I want to be a teacher.” That lasted until my junior year, and I thought I might like to become a therapist after taking a psychology class. I was really interested in psychological science and brain chemistry until my senior year. When I graduated, I decided that I wasn’t going to go to college right away. I wanted to take at least a year and explore myself as an adult. I wouldn’t call it a ‘gap year’ because I didn’t do any traveling. I rebelled, doing things I hadn’t had the time or freedom to do while I was in school.

How the School System Affects a Student's Potential
The limitations of the human brain are often thought to become restricted due to laziness, which is not always the case. The limitations might possibly be due to how systems of all kinds test the mental productivity of the brain. For example, the way the school system all over the United States works does not allow students to show their full potential. Schools all over the nation require various amounts of assessments to be taken that allows them to get accepted to a university, or even to graduate high school. But is the school system implementing the most effective way to give students an education? Now more than ever, we are seeing teachers just get through curriculums, and students just trying to pass instead of learning.

My Favorite App (And Newsletter)
A month or so ago, one of my good friends sent me a link to this new company he found called Finimize. I’m always finding new products and apps, most of which temporarily peak my interest but this one especially caught and kept my attention.

Why I Can't Stand Education Anymore
Honestly, for the past few weeks, I have been crying, stressed out, and exhausted over exams. Five years ago, I dreamed about going to university abroad to study architecture in one of the Ivy League schools such as Yale and Harvard to broaden my horizons and to explore new places. I used to come home from school and research university accommodation, majors and minors, and of course, admission requirements. It was my obsession.

How Much Homework Do You Have?
The American education system is putting unnecessary amounts of academic stress on their youth. Students are developing anxiety as a result of the immense pressure to do well. The thought of student debt drives students to odd wishes, like hoping for a school bus to run them over to eliminate their student loans. Caffeine has become the best friend of too many students staying up late to finish their homework.
