Holidays and the College Student

Interesting article about how to balance the holidays on top of schoolwork.

Finals

Here are some tips to help study for the looming finals week!

Music in Library

Ok, so I understand that noise on the first floor of the library is allowed, but do we really have to sit and listen to blasting Backstreet Boys music? Invest in some headphones.

Thanksgiving break

I find it so ironic that professors say to have a great Thanksgiving break, yet they continue to assign so much work. Make sure to spend those precious moments with the family!

Constant e-mails

Sitting with my family during Thanksgiving break and decided to check my e-mail. Six new assignments from professors. I know what I’m thankful for!

Memory loss

As the semester winds down, I’m noticing myself having some memory issues. It is becoming a regular occurrence to remember an assignment is due minutes before the deadline or in some cases to completely forget. Great way to end the semester!

Cancelling class

Gotta love when a professor cancels an 8 a.m. class but doesn’t send an e-mail so you still wake up and go.

Laptop university

What may I ask is the point of having a laptop university where students are forced to purchase computers from the school and then have professors ban them from class? If we’re paying $4,000 for these things, we want to get the most use out of them as possible thank you.

Campus tours

I know tours on campus are great for building interest in the school, but goodness do they cause a traffic jam! Perhaps prior to the tour, the guide could provide some insight on how the sidewalks are meant to be used??

Weight Gain

We all know how easy it can be to gain weight while in college. With the amount of course work students have, jobs, social lives, etc. it can be difficult to find time to have a decent meal. To learn more about how to stop the “freshman 15″ check out this site.
