Jamey Rodemeyer and his “It Gets Better” Video

Lady Gaga, as the top grossing woman in the entertainment industry, is using her influence to drive the campaign for making bullying in schools illegal. An idea that is long overdue, Gaga’s efforts were amped up by the recent suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, a young gay boy involved in the “It Gets Better” movement aimed at making the plight of bullied youth known. Lady Gaga has the attention of President Obama and now it rests on his lap to take her pleas and the concerns of Little Monster’s throughout the nation to capital hill. Read more…

Assassin’s creed is an action adventure video game that many students enjoy. It’s an award winning game that is very popular with millions of gamers. However, the best gamers are also often college students that have to sacrifice time with games like Assassin’s Creed for classes and studying. the good news is that even the best students can find time in their busy schedule for great games like Assassin’s Creed!

The key to fitting such as intense hobby is time management. A college student’s interests are already incredibly diversified and their schedule tight. With classes, studying, research paper writing, working, sports, and socialization there isn’t much time for gaming. But with a little bit of organization and discipline most students can make enough time for their video games.

The first step of managing your time is to list responsibilities and activities you want to make time for. Next simply prioritize your list and get the most important thing completed. As strong as the desire is to make Assassin’s creed near the top, one knows it can’t be. Term papers and homework need to come first! As well as a job and other commitments. There is a huge advantage to your mental attitude when the day’s priorities are completed and out of the way. Guilt is no longer an issue and the experience is so much more enjoyable.

The new year provides students the opportunity to develop resolutions aimed at improving academic achievement. What New Year’s resolutions should the good student consider?

First, stop procrastinating! Too often, the allure of friends, parties, movies and even the good old television lures students away from their work. Even the students with the best intentions can fall into this trap. It’s easy to put off today what isn’t due until next week and chronic procrastination leads to sloppy, unfinished and rushed final products.

Second, keep a schedule! Effective time management is the first and best strategy for combating procrastination. That ten page term paper feels less taunting if you space it out two pages at a time over a series of weeks instead of trying to rush all ten pages in the night before it’s due. By developing a schedule and sticking to it, the good student can ensure proper study and homework time while also juggling other social commitments. Writing down projects, meetings and other plans will also reduce the likelihood of forgetting an important deadline.

Finally, a good student must remember to make healthful living a priority. Too often, students rely on caffeine, sugar and other unhealthy stimuli to keep up. Instead of relying upon temporary energy boosts followed by inevitable crashes, the good student will make smart dietary and other health decisions. Eat right, include vegetables in your diet and get a minimum of seven hours of sleep. These healthy choices will keep the body and mind strong, making study sessions more productive.

Think I’m kidding? Absolutely not! In fact, one of our best writers told me over a beer last night that he got over 15 dates in college using the “Holy shit! I’ve a term paper due tomorrow and I don’t know how to do it” line on hot girls at the U of Wisconsin. Just like the cheesy guy at the laundry mat looking helplessly at the skid-marks on his underwear, Riley Musbach, professional term paper writer extraordinaire, shamelessly scammed brainy females into helping him with his already completed term papers! I thought I’d heard it all but Riley gave me new insight into creative college dating secrets and here is how he did it! Read more…

The most critical skill in adapting to college life and the real world is the ability to manage time. It seems like there is an abundance of it until midterms come up and you realize that you’ve only read halfway through the first chapter of one text. College is far more academically intense than high school. Your high school teacher was probably satisfied if you stuck in a stray reference to the actual topic. College instructors, however, tend to pick your term paper apart and dissect it like a frog. Since academic excellence was the ostensive reason for going to college, you have to do your best to attain it. But this takes time, because every professor thinks her or his class is the most important, and assigns accordingly. Learn how to manage your time effectively with these simple suggestions.

As convoluted, boring or ridiculous as it might seem at the time, it is imperative that you know all the ins and outs of the System, the sometimes nameless, faceless bureaucracy of the school administration. They almost have as much control over your destiny as you do, but they are nominally there to help. If you need money, for example, they can turn you on to student loans, scholarships, internships, and, on rare occasion, a halfway decent part-time job. Administration also provides for health care, should you break your arm in a pick-up croquet match, or come down with a severe case of depression. Read more…

The degree and nature of change during your freshman year of college varies depending on the size of the college, its distance from parental units, and whether or not the student lives on-campus, off-campus, or at home. If you come from a large high school, then trot off to a private college that has 900 students or so, then you’ll have to adjust to a situation where everyone knows both you and your business. In that case, it’s best to learn the art of discretion. If you come from a small or moderate-size high school and go to Megastate University, with a student population of 50,000 or more, you’ll have to adjust to anonymity. Read more…

Congratulations! Three months ago you suffered through the cap and gown ceremony, complete with 10,005 photographs with each and every family member. Now you have just completed freshman orientation. If you’re like many students, however, orientation can leave you with more questions and doubts than you started with. To your (*gasp*) horror, you realize that you have committed your life to academic pursuits, and wonder how you will survive it the first year, let alone the next four (five, six, or seven).

If you are a student, you have done an all-nighter! One of the most common all-nighters for the student is the dreaded term paper that was put off until the last minute. The all-nighter for a term paper is unavoidable sometimes but we have a few great tips to help you make the all-nighter go a little easier and faster!

OK, so you may not have prepared very well up to this point but before you begin writing your term paper, take a half an hour and get yourself ready for your all-nighter. Assuming it is a term paper you are doing, first begin by making your space comfortable. Include something enjoyable in your space, like put on your favorite XM radio station or put in a great CD to study to. Make sure the music is upbeat – Don’t put in downer tunes like Death Cab for Cutie’s new CD, far too depressing! Choose something like REM’s Accelerate – Fantastic, upbeat tunes to motivate your mind and keep you awake and focused.

Munchies and drink are vital to have for proper all night fuel. Stock up before you begin your term paper so that you don’t have to lose your train of thought when hunger strikes. There are many energy drinks out on the market that help boost you up with caffeine when its crunch time. Of course, they are not recommended for daily consumption but in a crunch and with a term paper due, you have to do what is necessary to perform.

Next, organize your research for your term paper in front of you. Have your source material and articles open on your computer, any book references beside you and class notes handy in case you need to refer to them for formatting or syllabus instructions. Plan at least 1 break every hour but make sure you don’t take more than 10 minutes for the break from your term paper. The break should include getting up and walking somewhere, even if its 5 feet across your dorm room, move your body!

Keep up-beat! Try not to worry about the time and know that if you do these steps, the term paper will turn out great because you are focused, prepared and ready to spend all night on it.
