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.
Just added the complete textbook worth of notes for the US History textbook Out of Many, 3rd edition. Hope these help some people out! Let me know what you think.

There are a lot of ways that colleges decide who gets to walk through their doors to become a student, but one of the most important is the SAT score. These standardized tests are designed to be the barometer of academic potential, and the top institutions of higher learning demand a sizable SAT score for admission.

Saw a special offer that might be of interest to the juniors and seniors here. U.S. News College Compass is offering a free year of their college profile search. Not sure if it's any better than some of the other resources out there, but at the cost of $0, it's not a bad option to have. Apparently Google has a special deal going on with them.
Trying to find a college scholarship to help you continue your education you will have to approach various sources. One of them is your own community - the hospitals and foundations among which many give scholarships to students who want to attend a college in the specific state or in a specific study field.
Social networking is the standard today, especially with students. Its unusual for people not to engage in some form of networking through technology, whether it is Facebook, Twitter or through cell phones. Social interaction is not the only use for networking, it can be used to boost your studies and progress your learning through crowdsourcing education.
