If you are a student then the summertime is a very important time of year for you. After all, you look forward to it months in advance! The thing is, however, that in addition to having some fun you can also get ahead by making some good choices as it pertains to your employment.
Despite the fact that my most recent post on course-notes.org discussed reasons "why the infamous all-nighter is a terrible idea," I would like to share some advice for those of you that will, without a doubt, pull numerous all-nighters in the coming years.
So you're procrastinator... The good news, so are millions of high school and college students across the country. By all accounts, you're not unique in your inability to get ahead on assignments and more often than not, you'll be "forced" to stay up late either cramming for an exam or attempting to complete a six page paper you were assigned more than a month ago.
While it's been years since I graduated high school back in 2007, my first-hand experience with the college application process remains vivid in my mind. Between the AP courses/tests, taking the SAT/ACT and the pressures to maintain a competitive GPA, the life of an ambitious high schooler is no doubt, stressful.
My name is Daniel Black and I graduated from Claremont McKenna College in May of 2011 as a dual-major in Economics and Government. I was fortunate enough to spend time working as a "Senior Interviewer" for the Admissions Office which provided me with the opportunity to interview a large number of prospective students. I know what colleges look for (and what turns them off), but more importantly, what steps you can take to distinguish yourself from the crowd.
When it comes to back to school shopping for freshman students there's no need to make a list with the obvious items like notebooks, pencils, erasers and pens. You probably have a whole drawer stuffed full of school supplies like those that you can re-use.
Going to college can be expensive, especially after the four or five years it takes you to finish your undergraduate degree. The average American student graduates from college owing $20,000 in debt. However, there are ways to make your college experience less of a financial burden, and applying for scholarships is a fantastic way to do so.
When you choose a college, it will probably be the biggest decision you’ve made in your life up until that point. Few decisions cause teenagers as much anguish as deciding where to continue their education. It’s a choice that must be considered very carefully, as it can make a big impact on your future.
Everyone has been there. You are half way through the semester and you are totally bombing that class that you were forced to take. You wish you never had to go in the first place, but you know that you need a passing grade in order to graduate.
Not every class you will take throughout your educational career will be entertaining or interactive. Some of them, unfortunately, will be downright boring. Alas, all schools have core requirements that students simply cannot get out of taking. So what are some ways to help you survive a boring class?
Isn’t it a wonder how technology can make our life easier by providing us with things that we didn’t imagine possible? From the 1970s, the birth of the first mobile phones, to the 1990s, where the miniaturization of mobile phones finally happened, we always thought that these mobile phones are only restricted to just calling and receiving calls. Then, the technological geniuses of Silicon Valley fused cameras, alarm clocks, flashlights, portable gaming consoles, organizers and the mobile phone into the modern Swiss army knife: the smartphone.
SAT, or the “SAT Standard Reasoning Test”, is a form of standardized testing used in the United States for college admission. The colloquialism “SAT” used to stand for Scholastic Aptitude Test; later, it stood for Scholastic Assessment Test; today, the letters do not represent any particular arrangement of words.
The SAT is a time honored tradition that just about every high school student must experience before moving on in their educational career. The math portion of the test is a source of much anxiety and frustration for many people, especially if the science does not come naturally to them. Fortunately, the powers-that-be allow students to use an SAT calculator on that portion of the exam.
