It’s Finally Sinking In: I’m a Senior and This Is It

Since being a fully online Arcadia student, I don’t think it has completely registered that this is my senior year of college. That means at the end of the school year, I am done with my undergraduate degree. I have a B.A. And I need to have my next plans in order because now I am a real-real adult...

Discovering My Calling

I graduated from Collegium Charter School in Exton, Pa., in 2018. Until about two months before I graduated high school, I still had the nervous expectation that I was supposed to know what I wanted to major in when I went to college. I knew I loved creative writing and reading literature, so I...
