What Its Like To Take Your First College Test

What It's Like To Take Your First College Test Via (slowrobot.com) You have assigned reading for a reason. Your professor didn’t make you buy a textbook and let it sit at your desk with no purpose other than to hurt your bank account. Your lectures, homework, and exam grades all ride on the simple task of reading. Instead of rushing to your room after class to catch up on the next Netflix episode, skim through the chapter and highlight what interested you about the reading. You’ll be able to input your thoughts during the discussion and impress your professor. 2. Did you talk in class? Via (onedio.com) Giving your opinion and asking questions is probably the easiest thing you can do. Professors like students that speak up and discuss. It’s a high school “teacher’s pet” move, but it’s a smart move in college. Other students might have similar thoughts and questions; they’ll even appreciate that you took one for the team and spoke first. Easier said than done, of course. The intimidation of talking in a room full of strangers is real, but so is not knowing the answer to the question. If you really aren’t comfortable with speaking up in class, write down any questions and email your professor or stop by to discuss during their office hours. Your effort outside of class may even be rewarded with a few extra points on your grade. 3. Dont go out.   Via (Giphy) Learn from my mistakes, y’all. Do not, under any circumstance, go out before a test. A no-brainer, huh? Well, yours truly was obviously not prepared for college. I’d just moved to a new city for college, I went out and had dinner with a cousin. That turned into a night of bars and clubs, naturally. Next thing I knew, I was crashed out on her couch with no way of getting back to campus. Luckily, I have the best friend you can make in college who picked my hungover ass up and took me back to my dorm room. I then had the genius idea of checking my planner and realized my first midterm exam of my college life was in 15 minutes. It didn’t matter that I’d taken the fastest shower in recorded history and Usain Bolted to my class because I was two minutes late and my professor had locked the doors. I made the lesser known walk of shame to my room. The story has a happy ending, however, because my professor offered the class a recovery exam to replace the lowest test grade. Still, I was traumatized about the whole thing that I didn’t go out again for three months. To this day, I make it a point to check my agenda before I even think about going out. 4. Layouts matter. Via (Giphy) How you’re getting tested is important to know, too. Depending on your class material, your professor may give you questions in essay or multiple choice format. Your professor may assign a day to review in the syllabus. If you don’t pay attention at any other point in the semester, please pay attention to this one given day as a one-time refresher on what will be on your first college test. If the exam is in essay format, your professor will want to know what you took away from class discussions and topics. Formulate a study guide with opinionated answers and write down anything you can remember or research on. If the exam is in multiple-choice format, you’ll probably want to use note cards as your study guide. Write down definitions, important names and dates, key facts, and topic summaries. If you can connect descriptions to words, you’ll have an easier time taking your test. 5. Grading styles help. Via (theodysseyonline.com) Curves, in all sense of the word, are my favorite. Professors know that college students are not prepared for college-level work. Don’t feel bad about how badly it went because they may pity you and add points to your grade. Although this may not seem fair to the ones who studied intensely, their grade will just get better so it’s a win-win for everyone. 6. Incentives work. Via (Giphy) If having good grades isn’t important enough to you, remember that there’s ice cream in the freezer waiting for you after that one hour of hell. It helps, I promise. Your rewards after having survived your first exam will be much sweeter. Obviously, you could just collect your prize now and go to your exam with a happy belly, but the psychology of setting a reward and earning it is much more satisfying. Your first exam is not just your first exam it’s a holistic preview of the semester. If you fail because you don’t study, I don’t have to tell you what happened there. If you prepare for the worst, you’ll have a better chance of acing your first college test. May the odds be ever in your favor, friends.

A New Year, A New Fight For Womens Rights

A New Year, A New Fight For Womens Rights pexels.com While this certainly isn’t news to anyone that’s been watching the news, it’s still alarming that this is going to be one of the first topics up for discussion, especially given its controversial background. According to Planned Parenthood, following the election of Donald Trump they prepared themselves for “a fight of a scale that we haven’t seen before.” And they were right in doing so. This Thursday, Paul Ryan (House Speaker) confirmed the alleged plans in stating that Republicans were planning to take away federal funding from Planned Parenthood. This would be done as a part of a bill that Republicans are putting together to repeal the Affordable Care Act. According to Paul Ryan, “Planned Parenthood legislation will be in our reconciliation bill.” However, he did not explain any further than this. This is not the first time that Republicans have attempted to repeal the bill. Republicans previously passed a reconciliation bill back in 2015 that was meant to repeal Obamacare (at least in part) and to defund Planned Parenthood. This bill passed both houses of Congress but was ultimately vetoed by President Obama. This time around, we may see a different ending. For one thing, senators are unable to filibuster the bill (as it’s part of the reconciliation process) and for another, the bill won’t need a majority to pass. And the biggest difference of all is the President himself, as Trump is unlikely to veto this bill as his predecessor did before him, and that’s exactly what Republicans are expecting. Because of this bill, it’s likely that Planned Parenthood will have to close operations in many parts of the country, as they are expected to lose almost half of their funding if this bill becomes a law. President of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards commented on this bill: “Two and a half million women, men and young people come through our doors every year for life-saving care like cancer screenings, birth control, and STI and STD tests … and they cannot afford to have basic reproductive health care attacked.” This is basically what the whole controversy comes down to abortion. Because Planned Parenthood offers abortion procedures, Republicans want to shut it down. But the truth is, Planned Parenthood is so much more than that, and while that’s a large component, it isn’t everything. Planned Parenthood provides low-income individuals healthcare that they can’t get elsewhere, and protects women’s reproductive rights on top of it all. So whether or not individuals agree with abortion is irrelevant Planned Parenthood is open regardless of everyone’s beliefs; it’s open because it’s necessary. It’s so easy to discredit Planned Parenthood because it “takes a stance” on a controversial issue that you (and Republicans) may not agree with, but that’s looking through a very narrow, judgmental lens that doesn’t give you the full picture. And Planned Parenthood has been attacked more than enough times, including the recent lawsuit in Texas involving Medicaid funds being withdrawn, which Planned Parenthood has referred to as a “politically motivated witch hunt.” It’s been said time and time again and needs to be keep being said until somebody listens: women’s reproductive rights have no stakes on politics. None. What a woman does or does not do with her body is nobody’s business but her own, and taking away rights (such as abortion, which, like it or not, is still a right) is wrong. To rant a little bit, it’s important that we remember the separation of church and state. Because pro-life activists are mostly (not entirely, but mostly) Christian’s, this is a huge conflict of interest. Moving to the Americas was initially done in part for freedom of religion, and condemning women for practicing abortion is in direct violation of this. Just because you believe it is wrong does not make it so. It’s an individual choice, and one that you will hopefully never have to make. But it’s still a choice, and women have the right to make it regardless of your religious beliefs. So brace yourselves, as controversy is already beginning in 2017, and if Planned Parenthood has anything to say about it, this struggle is going to be far from easy for Republicans. And vice versa. Who will win? Only time will tell.

Making the Most of Any Internship

Making the Most of Any Internship pexels.com Learn new skills that can help you stand out among competitors   Instead of looking at an internship that isnt related to your major or career as a lost opportunity to learn skills for your desired career, look at the internship as an opportunity to learn new skills that you would not be able to learn if you were doing an internship related to your major or career. If you are looking to go into a more science-oriented field and end up with an internship in writing or publishing with a company like Uloop, dont assume that theres nothing for you to learn if you arent doing anything science-related. You get to learn how to improve your writing something that is vital in writing important emails or proposals. You also get to learn how to cater to a specific audience, depending on what internship you are in this will help you when it comes to choosing how and when to say something depending on who you are speaking to (a boss, a fellow coworker, a client, etc). Always try to see any skills you pick up during an internship as a later advantage. Spending time working an internship unrelated to your major or career allows you to pick up skills you may not be able to pick up otherwise, something that future employers will appreciate when you are able to offer more skills than what is expected of you. This is even more helpful when being compared to others in your major, as you will be able to claim a more diverse set of skills and knowledge than your peers, something that can get you a position over them. When picking up a new skill, always try to figure out how it amplifies a skill you already have, or how it can help you in your future career. Network with others outside of your major or career   Just like your internship offering you the chance to learn new skills that will help you in the future, your internship will offer you the opportunity to network, just like any opportunity. You may not think that you have something in common with your coworkers or fellow interns because you arent studying anything related to the internship and therefore shouldnt bother connecting with them, but networking with them is just as important as networking at any other internship. You never know where one worker has been, or even where they plan to go until you reach out to them. Dont try to put up a front like the internship exactly fits the bill of what you want in a career; be honest about why you took up the internship (picking up new skills, you liked the company, etc.) and voice your desires and interests when it comes to what you study and want to do in the future. Company employees may even be in the same boat, or have been, and can offer plenty of advice to help get you where you want to be. They may be able to help you connect with friends and other connections that are in the field that you want to be in, giving you a way to build up your experience regardless of your internship.
