study habits
Posted Monday January 21 2008, 5:40 pm
i read this studying tip:
Review lecture material the DAY it is taught.
Studies show that any new material learned will be forgotten within 24 hours if it fails to be transferred to long-term memory. Once again, no one's telling you to memorize it, just make sure it's somewhere in the back of your head when you need it.
can anyone expand on the short term -> long term memory thing to me? how do you know if you have done that? ok so after class ends i should spend half an hour reviewing everything then nap and then continue? bc would napping help you memorize material?

im so scared.
if lecture halls get to be big how can you hear the professor speak? also do you think they will talk fast? bc what they say will be important, right? and i cant write fast enough (abbreviations cant be used for everything or like omitting certain words like "the") still. can i bring recorders? im a senior in hs. and i dont think we can bring recorders in class.. but is college different?

I need to find someone who will be willing to read over my admissions essays and I was wondering if anyone knew a website where people did that, or knew anyone who would be willing to do that for me? I just want someone to read over them before I submit them.
Thanks!

Thinking about College
Posted Thursday January 17 2008, 8:47 am
15/f - freshman.
Honestly, I'm scared of high school and college. Right now, I attend 9th grade at a junior high. I'm excited for the 'new experiences' in high school that I really didn't get a chance to accomplish in junior high. There's a lot of pressure on me to be a doctor, nevertheless, I have a cousin who is 22 and received a scholarship for a state college, and graduated with straight A's. Everyone in my family expects me to grow up and be like her. And I DO want to be like her. She's extremely smart, pretty, the like. However, sometimes I get nonchalant, and just plain lazy, and don't do my homework until later that night [I usually do it after I come home from school]. I'll do about as much as I feel like, and leave ...

Hey there,
This goes out to everyone using Wikipedia, can it really be trusted as in 99.9 %?
I use it quite often for my assignments, as it's quite time-consuming to go through all the books.

Dorm Rooms
Posted Tuesday January 15 2008, 6:22 pm
In one of the colleges I'm interested in, it says no electrical appliances. You're allowed to have a small refridgerator, so I'm assuming they mean heaters, toasters, etc. I know every college is different, but generally, are you allowed to bring hair dryers and hair straighteners?? Can you use them in your room or do some dorms require you to only use them in the common bathroom?? Any ideas or experiences?? Thanks!!

I was looking at fashion merchandising and management courses at FIT and LIM in New York and I was considering it.
But could someone tell me what exactly these courses entail? What kind of jobs am I going to have access to with a degree in fashion merchandising.
And more importantly, will these jobs be good jobs, will I have a chance to move up in the world and make a good living out of them?
