College Survival 101

1. BRING A LAPTOP!! It is very helpful and keeps you organized. Don’t forget to charge it though or bring the charger with you! If you don’t have one, you should be able to check one out at the library. 

2. Try to go to all of the events, especially if it’s “free”. I mean we did already pay for it through our tuition and fees so might as well go!

3. DON’T PLAGARIZE! IT’S NOT WORTH IT! There are many free sites that detects plagiarism in your essays, but there are some good ones that do have some fees. Or check through turnitin.com, sometimes you can check there!

4. Look at where your classes are located at before school starts. You don’t want to get lost or end up in the wrong classroom.

5. Making your own lunch is cheaper than eating out everyday! 

6. Use a planner, online or on paper, it doesn't matter as long as you are organized. 

7. Read the syllabus, the instructors actually follow it unlike in high school.

8. If you’re having trouble writing an essay, step away from it, relax, and come back to it later. BUT DON’T START ON IT THE DAY BEFORE. Give yourself at least three days before it’s due.

Blog Post #9: College Survival Tips

1. Step of your comfort zone. Do things that you have never done before; you might find an activity that you never thought that you would enjoy. YOU ARE GOING TO EMBARRAS YOURSELF AND THAT’S OKAY. It’s important to try new things, even if that means embarrassing yourself in front of people. It’s all about finding yourself and trying new activities that you might end up absolutely loving. As corny as that might sound, college is about pursuing activities that you enjoy doing and you never know what you like until you TRY! 

2. GET INVOLVED! Join clubs and organizations on campus. Attend sporting events, become a volunteer, participate in student government, go to any performances/lectures happening on campus, get free food during events on campus, and MUCH MORE. There are ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES to get involved during your college years. Find your interests and hobbies by joining various organizations. Plus, you are going to meet new people who share the same interests as you and make new friends. 

3. Take advantage of any resources on campus. Whether that means academically in tutoring sessions, counselling services, health centers, the library, campus escorts, and anything else that you can possibly think of. Plus, these resources are FREE for students and by free, I mean included in your college tuition. ;) 

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY 

4.  DON’T FORGET TO HAVE FUN!  College isn’t about sitting in your room all day studying for hours and hours every single day. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t study, BECAUSE YOU DO NEED TO STUDY DON’T GET ME WRONG, but it’s equally important to have a social life and expand your horizons. These are the years that you’re going to remember as you get older and when you look back, you want to remember all the fun experiences you encountered with all the embarrassing moments that you had. You don’t want to look back with the whats ifs and regrets; you want to look back at all the crazy moments that you had.

How to survive college

1.Find out were your classes are before you actually have to go to them. Your college campus is likely much larger than your high school one so knowing where to go will help with navigation.

 2. Make time to study for quizzes and exams since those would likely make up  a good chunk of your grade.

3. Only take the classes you believe will be beneficial or else that is a lot of time, effort, and money for something that isn't.

Let’s talk research 

for students all over the world, there is one thing that is seemingly ominous and extremely time consuming: the research report

nowadays, we have the internet, which makes things a little bit easier to do research compared to back in the day when it was actually necessary to pop into the local library and spend time skimming books 

Online research can still be very time consuming, but here’s a few ways to keep it to the point.

1) scholar.google.com

this is a way to easily find academic sources, without using a database. it should be mentioned, that you will come across articles and reports that would give you perfect information and examples and evidence... buuuuuut you gotta pay for the article. if you don’t wanna waste 10 bucks on an article you’re never gonna look at again (like myself) your best bet is to keep searching

2) come up with questions you want to answer

not only will this help you find specific information related to your topic, the questions can end up being useful in your essay or report. need an interesting transition while you analyze your evidence? use a question.

3) skim the articles you find and write a quick summary

while this may seem like busy work, it will definitely help when your deadline is approaching in t-minus 4 hours and you’re dramatically looking through EVERY article you found searching for that one quote that would be perfect.

Blog Post #5 This is a Game of Thrones meme. Cersei the Queen of the 7 Kingdoms sassily says “I thought you had 3 dragons?” questioning if something has happened to Khalessi’s other dragon since she only showed up to the gathering with two of her dragons. Khalessi’s response is “I thought you had 3 children?” because she is clapping back knowing that all of Cersei’s children had all passed away. This meme is just a sassy fake interaction between the two Queens that would only make sense to someone who has watched Game of Thrones through the 7th season.
