Dear New College Student;

Congratulations on starting on the right path towards a successful life. I wish you the best down the road toward your accomplishments.

College will help you in reaching your upcoming and future goals. During this time, you will learn how to work proficiently and also what to expect in the future. The main reason for this article is to provide you with ways to become a successful college student.
Throughout school, you consume knowledge of test-taking strategies, note-taking strategies, study techniques, and how to become a better listener. You are also taught how to better set goals for yourself. I learned how to become a more efficient thinker by using creative, practical, and analytical thinking skills. Attending college has improved my thinking skills and allowed me to apply successful intelligence throughout my everyday life.

In certain classes, you will practice how to be organized and prepared every day to the best of your ability. Purchase supplies you may need to achieve. Sufficient supplies I prefer to invest in are pencils, ink pens, highlighter, papers, post-it-notes, planner, and tab markers, etc.

Showing up to class early and being sure to review the material before the class begins is very essential. Staying focused and knowing what to expect during your courses is very important. Knowing the syllabus would be useful for you throughout your classes. You should stay away from those that may distract you, and be responsible for your class work. Pick a spot where you can do your work and hear the teacher clearly. Record all your data from recent announcements your instructor assigned to you.

Sleeping well and eating healthy are also very essential down your path toward being successful. Getting enough sleep and eating properly helps you stay focused during class and complete your task. Eliminate procrastination by completing your work when you first get it and try not to hold it off for too long. Organize your completed assignments and any notes you may have because it will reduce any troubles in your upcoming quarter.

Attend class every day, and try not to miss too many days. Making it to class and getting to school on time is mandatory for getting good grades in the classes you have. Be optimistic and responsible, and make your time in college count. Your time and dedication will most likely pay off at the end.

I wish you the best of luck on your studies, short-term goals, and future goals down your path to success. Good luck!

Sincerely;

Rashad Orumwense

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
