Don't Forget

Posted September 11th, 2009 at 08:18 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

Wow! Things have been so go-go-go today that I almost forgot to post..almost!

So, have you ever been to one of those extra credit things that are super duper boring (i.e. listening to some random speech given by an alumni of sorts...), but you know will help you out in the future as far as grades go?! (Or are you the kid who blows 'em off....fess up!).

Well, I went to one of those today. However, the guy was really nice and his topic of how he used his Communication...

Do you know...

Posted September 4th, 2009 at 02:19 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

...the muffin man?! Not that that has anything to do with my post today or anything!

So, every friday in my 8AM Organic Chemistry Class (wait, 8AM?! ) we are given a 10 question quiz over the material that we have covered thus far. Today was our first one, so I had no clue what to expect, but I went into it with an open mind (and a hope that my prior knowledge could pull me through any problems that might leave me stumped).

Nine of the 10 questions,...

Once Upon a Time

Posted September 3rd, 2009 at 01:09 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

Poor Freshmen. I know I was just one not even a year ago, but sometimes you just have to feel bad for them. I remember when I first came to campus and was trying to find my classes. I had just about every book that the on-campus bookstore over charged me for (because I was not sure if it was needed in class or not), a map of the school, my printed schedule and a look of terror in my face (Remember those times?!).

Well, today in Calculus class, I had a girl ask me if I...

Labs...intimidating or intriguing?!

Posted September 2nd, 2009 at 06:53 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

So, here is a little comedy for your day....this morning at 6:30AM we had our third fire drill in the past week (there is some form of malfunction....that has GOT to go!). Follow that up with an 8AM, 9AM, 10AM & 11AM class...and then a 2-5PM lab and you've got one heck of a busy day!
Anyone with me?!

It Happens

Posted July 21st, 2009 at 10:13 AM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

You are overwhelmed, have 3 exams this week, two papers to write, a lunch date with your friends, some workouts to squeeze in, no peace in which to catch some ZZZ’s and Thursday’s Exam creeps up on you faster than the speed of light. Your choices are to either stay up all night on Wednesday and study until you fall asleep (or the clock strikes 8:00AM) … or go to bed and try to wake up early to do some last minute (literally) cramming. While you may do just fine on your exam and end up pulling it...
