Student House Hunting
If you're a student, especially in the United Kingdom, you'll know that searching for a house at uni can be an absolute headache. It was three years ago that I had my first ever house hunt. I was a second year student in university, and my friends and I got together to try and find a decent roof to put over our heads for the coming months. We weren't aware at that point just how bad student living could get.

Why Videos are Important in Education
In general, children feel happy when they view videos when compared to regular lecture class without videos. Children tend to have more interest in viewing videos than listening to lectures in their classrooms. The classroom lecture, whoever the teacher is, does not attract children to listen on a long run basis. Instead, educational videos are a powerful method to attract children towards learning. There are many benefits associated with children who listen to educational videos.

The Dumbing Dumbness of Our Youth Thanks to our Education System
I remember when I was younger, many years ago I am afraid, school was a place kids went to learn about English, science, history, math, perhaps learn a new language or a musical instrument. It was a place where I was taught, no encouraged, to think for myself. I loved to be in a class where we were encouraged to debate the topic of the day. I would purposely choose the least favorite aspect to debate the alternative view, even if I did not agree with it, just to keep the debate lively.

"Do I count?"
When I was the International Students’ Officer of my college, I spoke with a fresher (first-year university student) who had recently experienced a nasty encounter where they were verbally abused in town by a resident. For most of us, being a fresher is full of ‘first-times.’ The first time living away from parents; the first time dining at formal hall; the first time sitting in a supervision. For that particular fresher, it was their first time living abroad, their first time hearing those racist slurs, and then discovering with alarm what they meant. And then possibly for the first time, becoming painfully conscious of their race. When I urged them to reach out to groups that specifically support BME students (black and minority ethnic- alternatively known as ‘people of colour’), they asked me, “Do we count as BME?”

Pushing Beyond Your Limits
At 44 years old and just weeks away from officially becoming ''middle aged" I decided to take a winter session of intermediate algebra. Lacking a couple of semesters, I had started college in the fall. I had never finished my associate’s degree because I struggled with, you got it, algebra!

Online Security and Privacy Tips for College Students
It is a fresh start for the kids to enter their teenage life and experience a lot on their college campuses. At once you step into your college, millions and millions of expectations would pop out your brain that urges your intuition to perform them right away. Some of teenagers wants fast money without doing hard work and cyber hacking provides a wing to their expectations, which can cause damage to society as well.

All students struggle in one way or another to maximise their study proficiency, whether it's by procrastinating or not revising the correct material. These minor struggles make students question their own abilities, intelligence and efforts which ultimately makes students feel inadequate in comparison to their peers. But let me tell you something, your current results do not define your potential, there are so many ways to improve your study habits and decrease the undue stress and pressure that you might be feeling from school all while improving your results in those pesky exams.

Benefits of Journaling
Journaling has always been a part of my life. It started at a very young age for me, I was probably 11 when I started, but reading back at those entries it makes me want to laugh at myself. It was all about the cute boys in school and the annoying things my older sisters had done to me that day. I found that reading these entries I had matured throughout the years. I see spelling mistakes, which would probably kill me, if I wrote them at this age. My family members were always more interested in science and since Polish was my parents first language English was one of those subjects where teachers would expect me to not do well in. Through my journaling I got much better in English. I understand where my mistakes are being made and it makes me a better writer for it. Every person that wanted to be writers but never achieved it had told me one thing: "Always keep writing". One of my professors told me this on our last day and for some reason it really stuck with me and as i made new friends in my English degree everyone kept telling me "you have to keep writing, even after you graduate". Now, I was not the best student. I rarely received A's but all my courses were always around B's because you know what they say:"B's get degrees". But, I never stopped writing and I do not plan on stopping. I enjoy it as a pass time and since discovering Vocal it has helped me expand my mind and do research about topics, which I thought would never interest me. Now you know how it has helped me, let's go over on how it can help you.

Playtime is Precious
Children need a great deal of unstructured play time. This is the time when their imaginations can soar. They learn to navigate the world around them, increase vocabulary, learn to negotiate with peers and interact with adults and many different materials. Remember, for young children everything is new! Everything we adults take for granted is an adventure into the unknown for the small child. During play time whether at home or at school, the children need to have the space, materials and encouragement to try new things and explore. Adults can play crucial roles in helping them develop new skills by integrating themselves into the child's play instead of directing the play. By letting the child direct the play, and asking questions, making observations and encouraging them the children can be guided to learn new skills, new vocabulary, many facts and understand many roles of the people, animals and plants in the world around them.

Invisible- Chapter 1
"Hey loser!" Someone from a group of kids shouted as they walked by. "Get out of our way!" Another one called. "Jerks." I thought as I did my best to maneuver around their group, ignoring their harsh nicknames.
