Overcoming Academic Challenges: What’s Your Biggest Struggle in School? It’s been ages since I’ve sat down to write about something personal, but today, I wanted to open up a conversation that affects so many students: academic struggles.

Awkward moment alert… We had to write an essay for English where we compared a graphic novel with a traditional book. I chose to highlight how the book had a more formal tone while the graphic novel felt more straightforward and relatable to how we communicate today. To sound clever, I threw in the word […]
I stand by my opinion. You can close that thread if you want, but we all know that what the sub did was unacceptable, and they owe me money.
Absolutely! Editing can make a big difference in enhancing your photos and giving them a more polished, professional look. Here are some tips and tools you can use:
Lighting: Make sure you’re working with good lighting when taking pictures. Natural light (like during golden hour, right before sunset) is often the most flattering. If your pictures are too dark, consider increasing the brightness during editing.
Editing Apps: There are several user-friendly editing apps you can use on your phone or computer. Here are a few popular options:
Adobe Lightroom Mobile: A powerful editing tool that comes with an easy-to-use interface and presets for quick editing.
Color Correction: Adjust the white balance to make sure the colors in your photos look natural. Sometimes images can have a warm or cool tint that can be corrected.
Cropping: Ensure your subject (you!) is well framed in the image. Consider cropping out distracting backgrounds or elements while keeping your main focus centered.
Sharpening: A little sharpness can enhance details and give your images a crisper look. Just be careful not to overdo it, as it can create a harsh appearance.
Filters & Presets: Applying a consistent filter or preset across your images can help create a cohesive look. Just choose one that enhances your photos without overpowering them.
Get Creative: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Try different edits and see what looks best. Also, consider adding a vignetting effect for a subtle frame around your image.
Feedback: Share your edited photos with friends or family before finalizing them. Getting a second opinion can help you decide which edits you like best.
Remember to take your time with the editing process, and have fun with it! Your personality and style should shine through in your senior pictures. Good luck!
