Blog #9: The End

It's almost here! The end of a long semester. Before I started college, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I didn't know if it was going to be too much. I think that's what I was afraid of, I wanted to still live life. Surprisingly I was able to do my everyday things even while attending college. I was able to balance work and time with family. I am going to give you some tips for next semester to help you stay connected with friends and family even if you're in college.

Tip #1: Make sure you do the homework right away! If you complete the homework before it's due, you'll be able to make time for friends and family.

Tip #2: Do not go out until you know your homework is done. If you're out having fun, but have not completed assignments that are due the next day, you won't have fun. You'll be too busy thinking about all the homework that you let pile up.

Tip #3: Plan! If you buy a planner and set times and days where you'll do homework, you'll be more likely to complete it.

Tip #4: Do not leave things for last minute. This will only make you stress more. We do not want that.


Being able to balance everything, made me realize that I can do well in college. I don't really fear the future. Here are 99 more tips (99 Tips ) . I think I am going to get through college fine if I continue to follow these tips.

Blog #8: When Taking a test.

When it comes to test, people can get very anxious. That is very common. Especially when a student wants to do good on that test.

From personal experience, I get extremely anxious that is why this blog will be providing you with information on how to take a test and lower your anxiety level.

First, make sure you attend class so that you know all possible information on the test. By attending class you will be greatly benefited because the teacher will explain things better for the test. Second of all distribute practice. Meaning you break the learned material into small parts then study frequently. By doing this you will move the information to your long term memory and you’ll do good on your test. Third of all, find a studying method that’s works for you. It can be many things, flash cards, a mind map, or highlighting key points in your notes. Another good tip is to predict the questions. This can be easy if your teacher provides you a review. You’ll be more likely to score good in your test, if you have an idea of what can be on it. Although test anxiety sounds horrible, it can be a good thing. It can be a good thing because it can cause motivation to prepare and do good on your test. If you are well prepared, your anxiety level will go down. Also if you take deep breaths and get a good night sleep, this will help you out extremely. Finally, do not cram your studying! That will cause you to stress out about the test.

Blog #7: Antibiotics

Antibiotics are everywhere according to this picture. They even feed them to cows. This is a big no no! 

It is a big no no, because many things can go wrong. One thing that can go wrong would be infections. The cows can develop infections, and they can be transferred to any worker. This even hurts humans. 

Another terrible thing would be mad cow. "Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy(BSE), is a transmissible, slowly progressive, degenerative, and fatal disease affecting the central nervous system of adult cattle." Mad Cow < Here is the website where I found this information. 

In conclusion, antibiotics are terrible. They only cause hardships in the food industry. Many cows and people are being affected because they eat that meat.
