A critical look at how the language you have available to you inevitably affects how you perceive the world. It’s deep–hold on to your hats.
A no-nonsense look at the education system’s hidden agenda–why we’re being taught what to think, instead of how to think, and how this affects not only us, but the bigger picture at hand. Put on your thinking caps for this one. (P.S. Please don’t egg my house if this makes you angry.)

Think critically about the things you do in your everyday life–does everything you do actually make sense, or do you do it just because that’s the way it’s always been done? I argue that it’s an unfortunate case of the latter.
Do people tell you that you should be more realistic? That you’ll need to join the real world someday? That your ideas will never work out because of x, y and z? Check out the uber popular guest post I wrote for Free Pursuits.
Look for “Yo, It’s Ash”—because what else would my email say? Also, check those darn spam + promotions folders; those fools are HUNGRY. See you in our new private clubhouse, AKA your inbox!
