How Having Student Loans Has Changed My Life
When I was younger, I never imagined I'd have to worry about debt. I never pictured being consumed with thoughts of an ever-present "monkey on my back," so to speak. This monkey called student debt has haunted me ever since I signed on the dotted line and accrued $30,000+ in debt for my college education. Honestly, as a doe-eyed 20-year-old who had just barely graduated from community college with my Associate's degree, signing up for a bit of debt did not seem like that big of a deal. There would still be so much time left before I would have to start paying it back, and besides, I'd have some type of fancy career by then anyway, right? Or maybe...not.

So you have finally finished school, college, university. What next? The majority of people will have no idea of what they actually want to do in the real world. If you are reading this stressing about what the next step should be, don't worry, you're not alone.

How To Respond When Someone Attacks Your Major
There are some majors out there where people are unsure of why you're getting a degree. I'm majoring in mass media broadcasting production with an emphasis in video production (TL;DR I want to go into filmmaking). I've gotten questioned about why I'm majoring in that because "You could just go and look up how to do what you're doing on the internet" or some version of that.

That Time I Went to Law School
I was always that person who insisted that you should pick a career you love; who cares how much or how little money it makes? I constantly told my parents and everyone who would listen that I wanted a career that I was in love with—one that didn't feel like work. I had big dreams of being a musician or a museum curator. Those were my passions, and, by God, I was going to get a job doing one of those two things and I didn't care how difficult it was.

Online Learning, or Brick and Mortar?
I have attended both online colleges and brick and mortar schools, and in retrospect, I believe online learning is more for the student who works well independently, and not for someone who needs information explained more thoroughly by a professor.
