10 Tips for Starting Grad School
When I took the plunge and went back to school to study for my Master of Arts, I thought it would be fairly similar to my undergraduate studies in terms of pacing, workload, and difficulty. I was mistaken. It was more challenging in all the best ways and I loved every second of my time spent studying for my MA, but if I could start over, these are the things I wish I had known.

The Future for Human Creativity
Can creativity be taught? The ancient Chinese believed that all things are made of a mix of yin and yang, that while one may predominate nothing can exist as wholly only yin or only yang.

A Job for Money or a Job for New Skills?
It is everyone’s dream to have a nice job. A nice job often means good salaries and a comfortable life. Some people equate a nice job with the amount of payment: the higher salary you receive, the better job you have acquired. However, I think that a job that gives you a chance to learn new skills may be more important than a job that gives you money.

Why I Write
I write because I can’t help it. Thoughts and feelings spill out of my mind with every waking moment, like a child unable to control their crayon within the lines of a colouring book. I write because if I did not I would be driven mad, stuck on a carousel with more weight pressing me down with every rotation and no end in sight. I write because I’m scared. I am so scared, so often and no one will ever see it. Fear runs wild though my blood and even though I know it’s only in my mind I can still feel it snaking down my limbs, tying me down; if I did not dispel it with the ink from my pen I would stay tied forever.

Can Anyone Become Successful?
Many people are told that anything is possible, and they can be anything they want to be. Their minds are filled with hope and possibilities. Yet, as people age, most of their dreams fade away and is replaced with a realistic mind because of certain circumstances.

I Started a Business and It Was Surprisingly Easy
I think almost everyone dreams of doing something big with themselves or by themselves (to a degree) as they grow up. "I'm going to open my own gym." "I want to run my own restaurant." "I'm going to become a dental floss tycoon." You know, the usual hopeful successes. What I've felt is that most everyone uses it as a mental escape from their current situation. In my own analytics (from nowhere except the randomization of my thought process), about 70% of these are pipe dreams. People want it, but they don't really plan on going for it. So what's interesting is that I never once in my life thought to myself, "I'm going to partner up with someone and start a Motorsports Marketing business." Yet it happened.

13 Things You Didn't Know about 'Classic Alice'
I have always been a fan of webseries on youtube pertaining to classic literature, whether it be The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy or The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. A webseries that thinks outside of the box is Classic Alice, which has titular character Alice actually living her life according to classic novels. It is kind of a crazy idea, but has been executed fairly brilliantly, and I was lucky enough to sit down with creator and actress for Alice, Kate Hackett to discuss the series.
