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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
