I just realized what it is really like to write a lab report and the verdict is…not fun. I have been writing chemistry lab reports up to this point; which is more of a routine, fill-in-the-blank, write the procedure, answer some questions type of thing.

I just completed my first Food Science lab report for a class dubbed Elementary Analysis and, let me tell you, there is nothing elementary about it. However, it’s only going to get worse as I go on to Food Chemistry next year and...

Have you ever looked at someone’s notes, accentuated by a rainbow of colors, and thought, “I wish I had those mad skills…How can they even tell what is what…it just looks like a neon lights show” ? Well, then you, my friend, have come to the right place. See, I specialize in neon light shows and if Food Science ever fails me, I may just pursue it as a career…although, I’m not too sure of how far it would take me. Anyways, there are a few key rules to the highlighting madness (or at least...

It's finally Friday! Actually, this friday rolled around alot faster than usual because we started back to school on a Wednesday. PLUS, Monday is M.L.K. Day, so I've got a long weekend ahead (Why we didn't just wait to start school until this upcoming week, I'll never know!).

I am assuming that you are currently in possession of 4 or 5 syllabi...funny word...(perhaps 6 or 7, if you are crazy and took three labs, like I did ). I could be wrong, but I am also going...

My first final was yesterday and I rocked it! Too bad it wasn’t a final that actually mattered…I only needed to get a 50% to get an A in the class. Oh Chem Lab…How I love thee! I wonder if the actual CHEM final will be just as easy (Dare to dream?! Ha). What will be your easiest final? Are any of your professors simply not giving a final? My speech teacher isn’t giving us a final, per say. We just had a test on Monday and then we got to peace out for good. Fine with me!

It’s finals time, like it or not, and I’m here to give you a little advice. Now, mind you, I am already going a little stir crazy and I still have 10 days (and 5 finals) until I get to hit the road for HOME! I’m pretty pumped, but I am determined to stay focused these next few days and really give it my all (in the study department…I could give it my all in the Facebook, blogging, movie-watching department any week ).

Step 1: Remove all distractions. That includes computers,...
