Give yourself somethin' to talk about!

Posted March 17th, 2010 at 12:31 PM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

Succeeding in school is just another part of this Balancing Act that we all know as college life. I mean, after all, going to college was a decision that you made. It’s not like in high school when you failed a test and just thought, “Meh, I didn’t like that class anyways”. You get to pick your classes and choose those that suit your interests best. If you don’t succeed in your classes, you may begin wondering if the track that you are on is actually where you should be heading… I mean, if you are...

Dude, you're getting a...No thanks!

Do any of you guys have a recommendation for a Netbook, aka Mini Laptop? I'm lookin' for heros here.

See, I have this large laptop with a bright pink top (I would get the pink one...) and it "Blue Screens" and randomly shuts out of programs all of the time. I have configured it back to "Factory Settings" on multiple occasions and nothing seems to really be working.

Dude you're getting a Dell! Really? Awesome. Can't wait.

See, I am looking for some...

How do you approach a coaster?

Good morning. My last test of the week, Chemistry (actually, probably my easiest class!), is tonight. Yay! Unfortunately, my Micro test grade will be posted today (Hardest class? Yup!). Not looking forward to that.

So, here's a question for you... Do you prefer that profs give you your test back when they are done grading them or post your test grade first and then give your test back during the next class period? (I know some profs don't give tests back at all, but we will leave...

Coffee & Cereal: The essentials

Posted February 10th, 2010 at 10:20 AM by emily (Tips, Tricks & Experiences from a Flourishing College Girl)

I just got back from a Food Micro test that was less than stellar, despite the 4 hours of sleep that I got last night trying to study for it. Don't you hate it when tests utilize applied knowledge, as opposed to just simple Q&A. Oh college, what will I do with you? As I stated before, I stayed up into the wee hours of the night. However, I had Mr. Coffee crankin' out drinks like there was no tomorrow and a box of cereal to give me just the sugar rush that I needed to keep truckin' along!...

It's the only way...

I have five tests this week. This is not an exaggeration (except for maybe in my dreams). I am fully prepared to only get 4 hours of sleep every night this week. Mark my word. I have just scheduled it in to my old grandma ways (Hello, 10:30 bedtime! I like to call it beauty sleep.). It just has to be done. What do you do when you have 2 club meetings, 5 tests, 2 nightly review sessions, 3- typed 6+ page lab reports and everything else that life throws your way? I am open to any and all tips at...
