5 More Lessons From a Senior

I've learned a thing or 2 by now

5 More Lessons From a Senior

So with just a month left of school and I start to look into what I might start doing once I get out of school as I work on adjusting my resume and cover letter I’ve started looking back on what I would do over again if I was given the chance. So I thought it would be a good idea to share some of those lessons with you and maybe you might take something away from it.

1. Go see Guest Speakers

Even if it doesn't seem like they are involved in an area that you're interested in, you never know what'll peak your interest, what a new connection might help you get involved in, so if you have the time use it.

2. Try to contact people in the field you want to work in.

Believe it or not, sometimes just trying to find people who work in the field you work is actually easier than you think. Sometimes it really does just come down to emailing or calling the right person. Granted there is no guarantee that you will get a response but it really doesn't hurt to try. Especially if you try to talk to slightly smaller companies since they are a bit easier to get a hold.

3. Have a friend with a spare couch or bed.

I've been lucky enough to live in a house, but if you don't, sexiling is a thing that occurs and having a friend with spare sleeping room came in handy during my freshman year.

4. Always be on the look out for grants

Not just within your university but also from your city, state, anything like that, always be on the look out for any sources of money that can help you in your endeavors.

5. Accept that you don't fully know yourself, and be prepared to find a new aspect of yourself everyday.

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
