I recently visited a school that I was accepted to. It's a beautiful Catholic University. I was very disappointed that it doesn't have a Journalism program, but the church on campus is lovely.<br />

However, with some research and preparation, applying to and choosing a college can be a little less worrisome.<br />
<br />
<b>Have somewhat of an idea on what you want to study</b> - Knowing what you find interesting and what you would most likely want to spend your life doing is key when deciding on a college or university. With that idea in mind, researching for a school will be ten times easier. For instance, I want to study journalism, that's why I want to go to the University of Florida, for its communications department. Focus on schools that are strong in your preferred field. <br />
<br />
<b>Pick an ideal location</b> - If you grew up in the snowy mountains of North Carolina, chances are you might want to study somewhere warmer and less icy. If you can't stand to see yourself staying in state, or vice versa, look up schools that fit your ideal location. Want to study in state, but still have that I'm-away-from-home college experience? Look into schools that are a few hours away, that way you'll be somewhat close to your parents in the event of an emergency, and won't have to pay rising out of state tuition. Remember, you'll be spending four plus years here, so make sure you love your surroundings.<br />
<br />
<b>Stay in budget, but don't downgrade</b> - If there's one lecture I get often, it's the tuition talk my parents give me. They don't want to break the bank when paying for my schooling, but they also want me to have the best experience possible. When looking for a university, make sure to keep in mind the costs, but don't downgrade. If you have your heart set on going to a private school, make sure you research all the possible scholarships they offer, so you'll pay as less as possible. Student loans are a scary thing too, my aunt still hasn't paid off hers yet, and she's 40. You won't want to be trapped in a web of payments most of your life, but you don't want to settle for a community college if you have your heart set on a big school. Take grants into account - it's free money that you don't need to pay back.

For all of my journo-nerds reading, here's my winning picture.<br />

Every second in a day is unique. Think about it. Every
single moment in one day's duration will never happen again on that exact moment of
time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As you are reading
this, you might not be conscious of it by seconds have passed that will never
happen again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, in terms of time
seconds are not the only concept of time that is special.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Weeks that pass
cannot be relived. Once a week has passed we are onto the next one, same with
months and years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So ask yourself this, how does one live each second, day,
week, year and so on to the fullest? That depends on what makes you, as a person,
happy. What I try to do is try to make every person I meet smile at least once.
You might ask why I do this, the answer is simple. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You never know what type of day that person is having and by
making them smirk or grin you might have made their day better or if not that
one second. That’s better than nothing right?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course you do not have to do this, I was giving an
example. But, why not try to smile or giggle at something silly knowing that
lame joke or weird picture has just made you live a moment in time that will
never happen again?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, I would like state in my opinion, this is valid until
a working time machine is invented and we as a people can actually relive the
past. </div>

President Obama has issued a letter seeking the House and Senate to weigh in on this pressing question. BBC News reports that 1429 people, 426 of them children, have died in a single chemical attack taking place in Syria at the hands of the government. Currently, the United Nations' weapons inspectors have left Syria after gathering evidence on the acts. The analysis of this evidence may take weeks to be completed. Meanwhile, innocent children and civillians continue to face inhumane violence as the world looks on; waiting for the United States to make a decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
America is considered to be the greatest nation on Earth and one of the most envied because of our founding principle of freedom. Therefore, I firmly believe that we should step in. If we don't, who will? The United Kingdom's Defense Secretary has stated that the British army will not intervene while other nations are hesistant to make any final decisions. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Our nation is a historial beacon of safety and justice, and thus we have a moral obligation to stand up for justice and human rights. This occurrence harkens back to the time of Hitler's regime, when millions of minorities were being persecuted and slaughtered in Europe during the Holocaust. The Allied Forces, including the United States, turned a blind eye to these monstrosites and waited years before acting upon such genocide. Precious lives could have been spared in that period, and the same is true for the civilians of Syria.<br />
<br />
In addition to immediate action, I do believe that the United States government needs to inform the American public about what will take place in Syria and the extent to which the U.S. will participate in the country's affairs. I think that a lot of citizens felt that they were out of the loop when America entered the Middle East, an act of warfare that took an enormous economic and social toll on our nation. Thus, the public needs to be assured how we will deliver aid in a efficient and effective manner.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ringing in the Year of the Snake, the Morikami Museum and Japanese gardens, situated in Boca Raton, hosted a Japanese Oshogatsu Festival on January, 13, 2013. There were Japanese Shishimai (Lion Dances), a mochitsuki making demonstration, traditional Japanese fortune telling, kite flying, dancing, and so much more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Approximately 7,000 visitors were expected to show, and the festival was absolutely packed, brimming to the rim with people. It was difficult to even walk through the main lobby without brushing shoulders with at least a few strangers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIg_wtKkHCB_dMoX4L1F5uu507fTc4W4tExGjsCVHG84jR82nkEW39Ar0vVmz5hist_numw7tXkyGhKz1vWUWAhIcACRY5lE6wfuqw1mDEhtsi5sYy2zwglaoSNUDz2mwu-XeDNXuPJNHL/s1600/2013-01-13+13.54.48.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIg_wtKkHCB_dMoX4L1F5uu507fTc4W4tExGjsCVHG84jR82nkEW39Ar0vVmz5hist_numw7tXkyGhKz1vWUWAhIcACRY5lE6wfuqw1mDEhtsi5sYy2zwglaoSNUDz2mwu-XeDNXuPJNHL/s320/2013-01-13+13.54.48.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">I worked as a volunteer, and helped out at the T-shirt silk screening station. Visitors would bring or buy blank t-shirts and get them ink silk screened with their choice of two designs: a Japanese lion (Shishimai), or a four-squared design featuring a Daruma doll (wish doll), a snake, flowers, and fan, which represented the new year of the snake. My partner, Jordan, screened the designs onto the shirts, while I sealed the ink with a hot iron press. This was such a popular activity among the visitors that a never-ending stream of people would continuously line up to get a customized silk screened Oshogatsu t-shirt. In fact, we eventually had to switch from black ink to red because we ran out of main supplies (luckily, Jordan came prepared). Some people were so excited that they literally took their own shirts off (of course, they had something underneath) to get them designed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Oshogatsu Festival was a blast. If you would like to experience one for yourself, then you will have to wait until next year. However, there is a Hatsume (Spring) Fair coming up in March, which will be held or two days on March 23 and 24.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope to see you there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Until next time. </span><br />

<br />
I look around during lunch at school, and almost everyone has their eyes glued to a screen.<br />
<br />
I could ignore them, and think of myself as original, someone who didn't hop onto the <i>Steve Jobs is a genius, I should buy all of his products </i>bandwagon. Someone who has better things to worry about then who tweeted this or who Instagrammed that. <br />
<br />
Or, I could crawl into a corner and wonder why life is so horrible, and how I could be asking Siri where the best pizza place is instead of wallowing in the darkness.<br />
<br />
Okay, that was a bit dramatic.<br />
<br />
But you get my point.<br />
<br />
Looking on the bright side, it's not like iPhones were always around. People lived happy lives without them. (You would be lying if you said you've never heard your parents tell you the "Back in My Day" spiel).<br />
<br />
Sadly, the way Apple is moving, it doesn't look like iPhones will loose popularity any time soon.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I'll wait for someone to invent a time machine, so I can go back to the prehistoric era and be amongst my fellow dinosaurs.

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The thought of college lingers in the back of the mind of
most high school students (I can relate since I’m a sophomore getting ready to
take the SAT’s next year) ; especially those of juniors and seniors. Many of
you may be wondering what exactly college life is like, how it feels to be a
college student, and what to expect when taking your first steps into college. So
that’s why I’m here today to tell you about my experiences as a college student
living the college life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fau.edu/class/LearningCommunity/FLCCurrent/IndividualFLCPages/fau.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="http://www.fau.edu/class/LearningCommunity/FLCCurrent/IndividualFLCPages/fau.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many of you might be thinking right now, <i>Wait a second… didn’t she just say she’s a sophomore?
What does she know about college? </i>Well, you see, I do not go to just any
ordinary high school. I attend Florida Atlantic University High School. In this
school, we complete all four years of high school curriculum in our freshman
year on the high school campus, which is located within the A.D. Henderson
school grounds. However, once we become sophomores, we officially become
college students. So as a sophomore, I am studying on the Florida Atlantic
University campus as an actual college student, taking actual university
classes, and yes alongside actual university students which are approximately
4-5 years older than me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So sit back, get comfortable, and take some notes as I share
my experiences in college and describe to you the pros, the cons, and what to
expect when you become a college freshman. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Pros:</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Making your schedule: This is by far one of the
best things about college. Since we started school as a child, our class schedules
have been created by school administrators. However, once you become a college student,
this all changes. You now wield the majestic, mystical, and unknown power to
create your very own schedule. This way
you can plan your class times around your own personal schedule. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Less homework: One great thing about college is
that there is significantly less homework for the classes in comparison to high
school. However this can be both a good thing and also a bad thing. Good thing
is that you have more time on your hands. However, the bad thing is that this
will provide you will less opportunity to practice and remember the skills and
lessons you learned in class. Instead, you must become more responsible and
manage your time well by making use of it efficiently by studying.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Fewer Exams: Just like the less homework pro,
this can be both a good and a bad thing. Although you will have more time
between exams, these exams will mostly likely count as more, have a greater
impact on your final grade in the course, and also cover more material.
Therefore, make a smart use of this in-between and minimalize that partying to
save time for studying. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Each Course Only Lasts One Semester: This means
if you have to take a course that you despise and dread, it will only last one
semester, HALF the time it would usually take in high school. So hip-hip-hooray
for that! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Cons:</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">1. Less Caring Teachers: The big difference between
high school teachers and college ones is not just the name change to professor,
but also the fact that college professors usually care less for individual
students than high school teachers do. It’s not that they are cold-hearted; it
is because of the sheer number of students they teach as a whole. Some teachers
teach up to a couple thousand students per week. This makes it difficult for
the professor to answer individual questions from each student that may be
confused on the lesson. Instead, a better way to answer your questions may be
to ask your TA (teacher’s assistant) for assistant and clarification or even on
campus tutors or supplemental instruction leaders.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">2.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Being Absent Can Be a Big Deal: In high school,
being absent for a few days when you are sick or just can’t make it, was not a
big deal. You would have days to make up missed exams or homework. However,
college is a whole different playing field. Missing a day or two can really
create a big dent in your grade. Losing valuable in-class participation points
can be like giving up an easy A. Also, there are no make-up days for exams in
college. Once you miss an exam, you will indeed receive a 0. So get your flu
shots and take your vitamins everyone!</span></li>
</ol>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<o:p></o:p><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>My Experiences: </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We FAU High students usually conceal our high school
identities from both our professors and our college peers. We do this not
because we want to, but because some professors and students are not comfortable
with the fact that high school students are in their class. In fact, when
people ask me how old I am, I do not say I am 15, instead I say I am 17.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes, when Boca High dual-enrolled students march over
advertising they are high school students, the college students are bewildered
and shocked. However, they do not realize that there are many other high school
students (FAU High) in their class as well. We FAU High kids sometimes laugh at
the thought of the college students realizing that they are surrounded by high
school students. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other than that, college life has been a wonderful
experience for me, and I really do enjoy it. It provides me with more of a
sense of freedom and responsibility. Transitioning into a college lifestyle was
not too difficult. Once you get the hang of commuting from one side of the
campus to the other, the professor’s style of teaching, and your new schedule,
you will do fine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Funny Short Story:</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My Biodiversity professor poked fun at the high school
students by saying that the students who receive the high grades in his class
are usually in high school. He explained that when you are 15, you still have
to listen to and obey your parents; however, if a college student’s parents
asked them if they finished their homework, the student would just roll their
eyes and stare at them like they have problems. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So now that I have given all the advice I could give in this
article, I just want to say to all the high school students out there, work
hard and keep up those good grades everyone! It will all be worth it once you
get accepted into your dream university! <o:p></o:p></div>

In the midst of stressful classes, difficult tests, and boring lessons (*cough* chemistry *cough*), Homecoming Week is the time to relax a bit, dress up, and have fun with friends.<br />
<br />
At West Broward, us Bobcats always go all out when it comes to Homecoming Week. Last year, each grade level decorated a hallway with the theme "Let the Games Begin" in mind, there were crazy pep rallies and there was a video game character everywhere you looked. <br />
<br />
This year, our theme is "Under the Sea", and our homecoming activities will be filled with the same Bobcat Spirit as last year.<br />
<br />
On Monday, students will be decked out in the color that represents their grade.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, Bobcats will voyage to school as either pirates or sailors.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, students will group up with friends and wear matching outfits.<br />
<br />
On Friday, Bobcats will show their school spirit, covered in Carolina Blue, silver, and black<br />
<br />
Last but not least, Saturday the 29th is the Homecoming Dance. I am so excited, because I can't wait to just spend time with my friends, dancing and having an awesome night.<br />
<br />
If one thing's for sure, West Broward knows how to have a good time. <br />
<br />

The 3 minute video was enough to make me understand what was really going on in the world and the difference that we can all make.<br />
The Girl Effect is a project started for girls to actually get a chance to be someone important in their country. The funds go to girls in poverty-stricken areas so that they may get a chance at education, stay HIV negative, and basically raises the standard of living for themselves and their family. The project helps girls in different areas such as India, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh. The entire motive for the project is to make sure that every girl gets a chance to learn and become a real part of the changing world. The idea is to help 50 million girls out of poverty and help them help others create a better world.<br />

So, I'm not going to lie- I was obsessed with the Jonas Brothers when I was younger. Starting from fourth grade to the sixth, my room was covered in all things Nick, Joe and Kevin. I listened to their songs religiously, and they were, of course, the first concert I ever attended.<br />
<br />
<img alt="File:Jonas Brothers 2009.jpg" height="213" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Jonas_Brothers_2009.jpg/800px-Jonas_Brothers_2009.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
When I found out that they are currently working on a new album, I had a mini heart attack, as any former Jo Bro fanatic would do, naturally.<br />
<br />
I for one, am very excited, since this amazing band of brothers haven't completed an album together since <i>Lines, Vines and Trying Times </i>(2009).<br />
<br />
On August 17th, Ryan Seacrest announced on his radio show that the fabulous three will have a reunion concert at Radio City Musical Hall in New York on October 11th.<br />
<br />
Kevin (the oldest Jonas brother, far right) now has his own reality show with his wife Danielle on E! called "Married to Jonas", which will focus on the couple's relationship and *squeal* will document the brothers as they record their new album. <br />
<br />
I just can't wait for the Jonas Brothers to fall back into the swing of things, because, hey, One Direction just can't hog up <i>all</i> of the boy band glory, right? <br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">I was five when it dawned on me - presumably over a
coloring book or a carton of animal crackers - that my lifelong ambition of becoming
a princess would probably never be fulfilled.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">It was a disheartening revelation; I reacted by</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">wailing deep, animalistic sobs and flinging crayons at a wall with an
iron resolve. Iron, that is, until my mom intervened with the promise of ice
cream, and I promptly forgot all about my shattered dreams. I blame Disney - it
instilled me with delusions of yellow taffeta ball gowns and unattainably
handsome princes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">Anyway, upon realizing my prospects of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a royal lineage were decidedly scant, I
harbored many aspirations, all in quick succession of each other:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to be a scientist, a film director, a
zookeeper, before lingering permanently on the most improbable one of all
-<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a writer.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">Ever since, I’ve regarded the world with a sense of
possibility. Heck, I can be a royal, scientific, film-directing, zoo-keeping
writer. I can be anything. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">All I have to do is kiss a few frogs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

From my beloved Harry Potter books, to the softball trophies I received in second grade, it's the glue that's holding parts of my childhood together. <br />
<br />
Looking at the snow globes I've collected (on the second to top shelf) reminds me of the places I've visited with my family over the years, from Ernest Hemingway's house in Key West to the Grand Canyon. <br />
<br />
I have quite a few books on these shelves, which I've gathered through out my life. A lot of them, sadly, I haven't read. Others I've read countless times, like The Chocolate War. I spotted books that make me smile, like my Lizzie McGuire collection, and my Kim Possible books. <br />
<br />
On the very top is my old magic kit, which entertained me for hours. Next to it is my Rose from Titanic collectible Barbie doll, which is still fresh in the box. <br />
<br />
Everything on my bookshelf has meaning to me, whether it be my first Vogue magazine to the gold necklace my parents gave me. <br />
<br />
I know I should of cleaned my bookshelf out long ago, but I don't think I ever will. <br />

But even the lilting loll of Billie Joe Armstrong does precious little to console me - the school years spells out, in no uncertain terms, the end of my capering and cavorting, the end of azure beaches and sun-kissed summer adventures.<br />
<br />
It's the end of an era - and the advent of one, too. Cue in the speckled scan-trons, groggy morning bus rides, and homework finished begrudgingly into the wee hours of the night. Even as I write this blog, a more responsible inner voice admonishes me, telling me my time is better spent wrestling math problems or dotting the "i's" on a research paper.<br />
<br />
I wish I could sprinkle stardust on all my assignments and have my Pinnacle effortlessly agleam with A's. Each year seems to have a recurring theme from which I can glean something new - last year, as a freshman, I dealt with inhibitions of high school, the anonymity I felt in its hallowed hallways. Now, sophomore year has presented me with an arithmetic lesson: seven classes' worth of homework by 180 days of school divided by six hours of sleep per day minus the square root of negative infinity plus the amount of hairs I've just pulled out of my head.<br />
<br />
Oh, and don't forget to multiply that exponentially. That's junior year, I'm told. And that's just beyond the horizon.<br />
<br />
Admittedly, I can't pretend to hate school for a second. I'm engaged in my classes, buoyed by the fact a free public education provides such an opportunity for intellectual galvanization. I'm determined to make the most of the 4,860,600 seconds of school wedged between me and my summer vacation.<br />
<br />
But who's counting?Lisa Burgoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03609425961956613460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775751803846484464.post-12307792998782440672012-08-28T19:18:00.001-04:002012-08-28T19:18:33.550-04:00Is It Weird That I Kind of Enjoy AP World History? I've been dreading it all summer, and now that it's here, well, it's not that bad... to be honest.<br />
<br />
Sure, it can get boring at times ( agriculture, blah blah blah...) but it's actually quite interesting. <br />
<br />
I think it's fascinating reading about how other people lived long ago. History has always enticed me, and learning about how people lived thousands of years in the past, all around the world, is going to be rigorous- don't get me wrong- but, I think it's going to be a somewhat enjoyable experience. <br />
<br />
I absolutely love my teacher, and we all know that having a great teacher helps us understand the topics more. <br />
<br />
All in all, I think this year will be a successful one. I'm pretty pumped for this class (however, I am dreading having to write three five (!) paragraph essays in two hours).<br />
<br />
Let's hope my sophomore year goes great! <br />

1) Ask questions. Here’s a list of some good questions to ask in case they’re not covered on the tour:
-Ask about interviews. Does this college conduct interviews? If so, are they conducted locally or on campus? Are they recommended?
-Ask about testing scores. Do they take the ACT or the SAT? Do they look at all three parts of the SAT, or just math and reading? What are the college’s median SAT scores?
-Ask about recommendation letters. How many recommendation letters are they looking for? TIP: colleges usually don’t want any more than three recommendation letters. They don’t really like sifting through a ton of paper and a bunch of recommendation letters can actually take away from your individuality as a student. On my Notre Dame tour over Spring Break, the admissions officer said that they once received an application from a girl with eighty recommendation letters! She was rejected.
-Ask about housing. Does the college provide housing for all four years? Do most students stay on campus for all four years?
-Ask about internships. Do students typically participate in internships off campus? Does the college have a program to help students find internships?
-Ask about study abroad. Does the college offer study abroad programs? If so, are they required? How much do the programs cost?
2) Dress comfortably. Wear comfortable shoes. If you’re doing a campus tour, you’re probably going to be walking a lot and the last thing you want is sore feet as you’re struggling to keep up with the group.
3) Stay at the front of the tour! On a campus tour, you might end up with a quiet talker or fast walker as your guide. By staying at the front of the line, you won’t miss anything and you can even chat with the guide. Ask him/her why they chose this school. You’ll have a chance to have a one-on-one conversation with an actual student. Ask them if they have any tips about the application process.
4) Bring a notebook and a pen. Take notes during the information session. Usually, the speaker will tell you about the application process, financial aid and college life that you might want to jot down.
5) Ask for the card of the admissions officer in your region. Admissions officers are assigned to certain regions of the country. If you’re having trouble with a part of the application, or you just want tips, call up your admissions officer. I’m not saying that you should call constantly, but it will help them remember your name if the two of you have actually had a conversation. Plus, it’s less intimidating to know that there’s going to be a real person reading your application.
6) Look for the “lightning bolt”. The lightning bolt hits you when you’re touring the campus or listening to the information speech. All of a sudden, you can picture yourself at this school. The campus seems familiar and you know at once that this is the place for you. If you’re not feeling the bolt at a certain college, then maybe it’s not a good fit. It’s all about what school is right for you and where, at the end of the day, you’re going to be happy

Each year, as August comes to its close, students are preparing to enter their new grades. The education received in school is what provides the building blocks of a future career, and whatever success that may lead to. New Year's resolutions are well known, but New Grade resolutions are less common. Starting off a new grade with a set of goals can be beneficial in many ways, from making you improve in school, to just making the school year more bearable. Here are some possible goals for the start of the school year:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Studying harder: This may be an obvious one, but several student tell themselves they will study harder, and end up procrastinating just weeks into the school year. Keeping up with your school work can only benefit you.</li>
<li>Being more social: It's never too late to make new friends, and starting off a new grade is the perfect time to do so. </li>
<li>Join a new club: Schools nowadays offer so many clubs to students that the options can seem endless. Joining a new club can introduce you to a hobby you may not have known you'd enjoy.</li>
<li>Take up a sport: Similar to clubs, sports are excellent ways to discover hidden talents, and they also keep you fit! It's also a great way to meet new people.</li>
<li>Volunteer: Volunteering at your school or in a community organization is an excellent way to give back, as well as accumulate service hours. </li>
</ul>

I had read about Bath & Body Works Liplicious and C.O. Bigelow lip gloss lines in magazines, but until today I'd never tried them - in the past, I had only admired the glossy (and expensive) tubes of shimmering color as I stood in line to check out. Today, I decided to splurge, and to my surprise found out that B&B was having a buy 2 get the third 1 free sale. I tried out a few colors and scents before making my final decision and dancing excitedly out of the store, ready to try my new purchases out.<br />
<br />
The Liplicious products come in a variety of fun flavors and scents, including Dazzling Daiquiri, Sparkling White Grape, Fruit Punch, Watermelon Sorbet, and many more. The glosses do genuinely smell like their titles and have a sweet, instead of a plastic-y, taste. They aren't as thick as other glosses I've tried. It was so hard to choose between all of the adorable flavors!<br />
<br />
The C.O. Bigelow products also come in a variety of flavors and scents, and most are infused with mint to keep your breath fresh. I'm currently wearing Lemon Lip Cream by C.O. Bigelow, which smells like fresh lemon meringue pie.<br />
<br />
I love both of these product lines because there's a variety of cute flavors and scents to choose from, and my flyaway hairs don't get stuck in my lipgloss. Try some out before the sale ends! :)<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am leaving tomorrow morning for a week of athletic competition with athletes from all over the country. I will be competing in the JCC Maccabia Games for soccer. I am very excited to represent our county as one of the 93 delegates in over 30 different sports, including basketball, tennis, baseball, swimming, and lacrosse. I will be staying with a host family in Memphis, Tennessee where the games will be played. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know I love the game of soccer, but this gives me an opportunity to compete against players from all over the United States. The timing is very exciting because it is at the same time as the Olympics in London. I am really look forward to meeting many new people and hopefully bringing home the Gold!<div>
</div>
<div>
One of the challenges I will face is having to live with a family who is not mine and people who I do not know. I have talked to my host mom on the phone, while she sounds very nice, it won't be the same without my mom there. There is always that nervous feeling before you go. "What if she doesn't like me? "What kind of food will she give me?" "Where will I sleep?" These are questions that I have thought about for these last couple days. I feel comfortable in knowing that I will be staying with another girl from my team and from what I have heard, my host family sounds super welcoming and nice. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
If you have any fears or anxiety about trying something new, I encourage you to go in with an open mind and an attitude that it will be a great experience. At first I was so nervous with the thought of staying with strange people I didn't know and playing in a state that I'd never been to, but after speaking with my host family and talking to some friends, I am confident that this will be a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white;">Today is my dad’s 52</span><sup style="background-color: white;">nd</sup><span style="background-color: white;"> birthday, or as he likes
to say his 30</span><sup style="background-color: white;">th </sup><span style="background-color: white;">(again). </span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">He
is such an amazing person and I love him more than anything, but he is the most
difficult person to shop for. My dad is the kind of person that if he sees
something he likes, he buys it right then and there. He isn’t one to tell you
something he would like for his birthday. Heck! He doesn’t even like acknowledging
his birthday at all. About a month ago, I began thinking about things to get
him. He already has enough tools and plenty of shirts. He doesn’t wear ties and
hockey season hasn’t started yet. So instead of wasting money on useless items,
I came up with a few things that I could do that he would like.</span></div>

1) A Little Note<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since it’s just another Friday to him, he got up for work
with a little surprise. Before I went to sleep last night I wrote a cute little
note to him. I taped it on the mirror in his bathroom, where he gets ready in
the morning, so I can be sure that he sees it. It was just a short and sweet
note with no more than, “Good Morning, Daddy! Don’t work too hard on your
birthday! I love you so much! Love, Katie.” Just a little gesture that put a smile
on his face.<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

2) Wash The Truck<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My dad is a police officer, so he usually has his police car
or motorcycle, leaving his truck to sit in the driveway collecting dust, dirt,
and leaves all over. So while he was at work today, I washed his car. Not just
a normal hose down with a little soap here and there, but an extreme cleaning.
I scrubbed the outside of the car to get every little piece of dirt off. I didn’t
stop until every last speck was gone. The exterior was the easy part though.
The interior of the car was a challenge. The windows had finger prints, dust
covered the dashboard, and the floor mats were filthy. Nevertheless, once I was
finished with it, the whole truck shined. I don’t think it has ever been this
clean since the day he drove it off the lot seven years ago. Extreme cleaning
his car was something that he has always been meaning to do, but somehow it always
gets put off. I can see why. It definitely wasn’t a quick task.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3) A Scrapbook Page<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Something that I know my dad cherishes is pictures and
something I really enjoy doing is scrapbooking. A year or so ago, I started a
scrapbook for him. It started off with just a blank scrapbook and one scrapbook
page. Each occasion that typically requires a gift, he got another scrapbook
page to add to his growing scrapbook. This year I took one of our most
memorable moments from our trip to Germany a couple weeks ago. He hasn’t received
it yet, but I know for a fact he’s going to love it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My dad isn’t a very materialistic guy. I know it sounds cliché,
but for him, it truly is the thought that counts. Little things like these make
him happier than any fancy pen, tie, or any other useless shenanigans that
people typically get their dads for his birthday. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy Birthday, Dad!<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>Katie C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05616349663957636873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775751803846484464.post-29195194790632349822012-07-25T23:48:00.000-04:002012-07-25T23:48:09.977-04:00College Stress The application to your future opens in a week.<br /> Yes, it is that time of year again. The beginning of a season for seniors' stress, anticipation, and more. Common App opens on August 1st, thus in comes the questions:<br />
Which College? <br /> Why?<br /> Which essay?<br /> Why?<br /> How do I write my essay?<br /><br />There is no easy way to answer these questions without hours of research and brainstorming. <br />But this simple solution of setting aside time may not be easily done for the League of Procrastinators (of which I am a senior member-ha)<br />And so, I pray that you (and myself) set aside time for this. Sure, it may not be a fun time spending the precious days of summer left for this, but if not now, when? As the shoe company, Nike so advertised, "Just Do It".<br /><br />For me, the best way is to answer these questions is in the most relaxing way possible for myself: going to a bookstore and reading up on college books while drinking a cup of tea. <br /><br />But you don't have to do it my nerdy way. There's always the trusty internet to surf. <br /><br />Happy Summer.

It's summer and the typical thing to do is head out and go to the beach. But some dislike the beach because of the sand, seeing how it gets everywhere, or the water, seeing how it makes everything stick to you. But I blame seaweed.<br />
Even though it provides life, it's annoying to swim in waters infested by it. But no one really knows how seaweed is such a big part of our lives.<br />
I mean apart from swimming with it or getting a crab on you because of it, seaweed is everywhere. Look at the ingredients of your toothpaste or even your cookies, it's there.<br />
Seaweed doesn't only provide life, it provides products. So next time you say, "I wish seaweed didn't exist," think about it. Are you prepared to accept the consequences? I think not. We should start to appreciate seaweed a bit more.<br />
Because like they say, "we don't realize what we have until it's gone."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
