Studying From Home
I am an Open University student and have just successfully completed my first year of distance learning. Although I am satisfied with my grade, a lot of mistakes were made to get it. I don't claim to be the perfect student, nor am I anywhere near finished with my journey. I still have a few more years and a lot of work to go, so I am not writing "DO THESE THINGS AND YOU WILL GET GOOD GRADES!!!" Or something similar, because I don't think anyone can tell you how to do that, for sure. We are all different and learn in different ways. These are just a few things that made the first leg of my journey a bit easier.

Go Ahead, Judge Me
I am sick and tired of hearing people preach about how we shouldn't judge others. We all judge everyone else whether you want to admit it or not. Every single person instantly forms opinions about other people in their mind when they meet them. Whether it be something small or something complimentary, we all still do it. We may later find out that opinion was wrong, or it might be proved to be correct. Whatever, it still happens and it is OK.

5 Things Working in Care Has Taught Me
Until recently I worked as a care assistant in a nursing home. It was the most rewarding and emotionally taxing job I have had to date (and probably will ever have). The work can be super demanding (not just making cups of tea and wiping bums, like some people might assume) and maintaining boundaries and emotional balance was a constant challenge.

Bullshit Man Is the Hero We All Need
I was rewatching some old episodes of An Idiot Abroad a while back, which I absolutely love (I know it is old news but that doesn't make it any less hilarious). During this binge, I came across something that I hadn't paid great attention to the first time around.

Why You Should Stop Reading That Book (and Other Stuff)
For most of my life, or at least the portion of it that I have read for pleasure, I have had a ridiculous inability to stop reading unsatisfying books. Even if the book has been excruciatingly dull, I force myself to the last page in a minor act of self-torture and I hate myself for it.

Becoming a 'Real Grown-Up'
When I was a young child, I firmly believed that I would reach adulthood at the age of fifteen, and I couldn't wait. I don't know what convinced me of this number—perhaps it was the misrepresentation of teenagers on TV, but I do know that I was absolutely certain of it. Needless to say, when I reached the ripe old age of fifteen, I did not behave nor feel the slightest bit grown-up.

4 Snacks That Saved My Diet Top Story - May 2018
Now I don't know about you but I am definitely a food-oriented person. I plan my day around my meals and I love to eat. I worked with a girl once that told me she always forgets to eat and it shocked me so much I choked up a little bit. I always used to half-joke that if I failed at everything else in life I would pursue becoming a competitive eater because, boy. Could. I. Eat. In summary, food is very much a passion and priority of mine.

Stop Book-Shaming
By now I am sure we are all familiar with the act of book-shaming. Perhaps you tell people you don't like a certain book when you do. Maybe you are too embarrassed to read a particular book in public, or maybe you won't even read a certain book at all because you feel ashamed. If this or anything similar has happened to you (and I'm sure it's happened to a lot of us) you have been a victim of book-shaming.
