What Some College Students Are Starting To Think About
www.boardseducation.com

The college season is about to start up again, and it is crazy how fast the summer went this year. Some of the things the college students are thinking about are classes, books, work, and activities on campus and off, clubs and organizations. I would say that the hardest out of these is the work part. It is really hard to get a job on campus if an individual isn’t a work study student, but even then it’s hard for the work study students.

When it comes to looking for jobs on campus an individual has to look online to see what has been posted and what they qualify for according to grade, hours and experience. Also the next important thing when job searching is to have one's cover letter and resume' done. This gives an individual the ability to apply for jobs quickly and not have to wait a few days when that job might not be there anymore. So if an individual wants to have a job on campus, they have to have their cover letter and resume' down and also be a where of when the jobs start opening.

Next I would say would be the classes. Classes can be either fun or very boring. Students here have to face whether or not they want to stay in a class or switch a class. Usually the first week is where this all happens because the student gets the feel of the class, the workload and how they think the year is going to go with that professor. Also the students have to know where there classes are and give themselves time to get to class. They also have to make sure there aren’t any conflicts in their schedule and if so they have to go get it fixed.

Thirdly, I would say books. Students get really frustrated when it comes to paying for college textbooks because they are so expensive. But individual has to use their resources then the books end up being cheaper and free. I learned to look in the library to see if they have the books for my classes saved to be used by students so I wouldn’t have to spend money. Then if they didn’t have it I checked amazon or check with students that took that class already to get it where it was way cheaper than the bookstore. But if you can’t find it, it’s going too stuck and you’re going to have to get the book from the book store.

Four, would be activities on and off campus. Here I would say there isn’t really to worry about. Student can go online or walk around campus to find an activity calendar showing what event is happening what day. Also for the off campus activities a student has to be a where they have to go online and buy tickets for the activities. Honestly, the worst thing that could happen is you forget about the event or you don’t get a ticket.

Lastly, would be the clubs and organizations. Here there also is nothing to worry about. An individual can access the clubs online and see who is in charge of them and email or call them. Also an individual can look around campus to see all the flyers with different clubs and organizations on them.

This year looks like a no brainer though.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
