How to be a Good College Student
College is a competitive environment; in order to succeed in it a student needs certain skills. Those skills can only be learned. A college professor mentioned that there five basic rules that need to be followed in order to become a good student: study, do all the homework and the assigned reading, attend class, and, most importantly, develop self-discipline and time management 1. In the following lines, a detailed analysis of those different steps will be done. So, let’s get started.
First, we mentioned study. A good student has to do study everyday. Study involves reading the textbooks, understand them, be able to explain it to others and sometimes memorize the most important concepts. As a creature of habit, it is important to have a special place and a special time to study. A good student will try to find a peaceful place and also try to study during those times that he/she works best. While studying, a good student can also use this time to do the homework and assigned reading. They are, most of the time, the application of what is covered in class. Personally, I study every day between the courses hours at the school library. This helps me to go over the last course I had, the next one that I would take and also do my homework.
Then, we also mentioned the necessity to attend class regularly. There are two important reasons for that: it will help in learning the material and also in getting familiar with the instructor. Know...
...ut fun, I'm stressing my mind too much. Austin Dopp and Thomas Parish created an ABC journal about how to succeed in college. They mentioned that students need to study but also take a break and be ready to learn and pay attention (Dopp, Austin, Parish). Powers and Swick mention in tip seven, celebrate small accomplishments along the way, is that you should celebrate your small accomplish like tests, quiz, and finishing you semester.
When reading the article “The Perils and Promises of Praise”, I was taken aback by the fact that there was a thing as negative praise. The studies show that just telling someone that they are intelligent is detrimental to future success in challenging situations because of the fear of failure. Encouragement of hard work and effort works more effectively than praising intelligence. I still feel that there is a missing element that was not mentioned in the article. It is secret number three in motivation for success in school. That motivation is the parents of the students. I was told that if I failed my classes, I could expect severe punishment and retribution for my failure, unless I prove I tried my best. Motivation is not just praise; it is the support of those adults in a student’s life that gives reinforcement of positive ideas
Apple is known to be the world’s most valuable brand. Over the years, Apple has created new technology to help catch the eyes of many users. Apple has been one of the biggest competitor in the technology world. Here is Apple’s mission statement of the company:
"Cyberbullying Is Not Worse than Physical Bullying" by Amanda Lenhart. Media Violence. David M. Haugen, Ed. Opposing Viewpoints® Series. Greenhaven Press, 2009.

The topic of cyberbullying is so important because many do not understand the severity of those who are cyberbullied.
In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, one often wonders what Hamlet’s tragic flaw is? Was it his anger, his passion, his own feigned madness taking control? Perhaps they played a part, but Prince Hamlet’s inability/hesitation to act, and his tendency towards rash actions are the tragic flaws that lead inevitably to his own demise. He is no Macbeth, Othello, or Oedipus for sure! Ironically, the combination of these two polar opposite traits, Hamlet's hesitation and sudden rash actions, lead to his downfall. As William James puts it “There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision”, and yet when Hamlet acts instead of thinking it bodes ill anyways! For Hamlet’s case there is nothing but misery.
In her article “How the Internet Has Changed Bullying”, Maria Konnikova explained how bullying has reached technology, and in the workplaces of many adults. The Internet has made it harder to escape from bullying, and easier for bullies to escape from confronting their victims. Furthermore, the author stresses that cyberbullying not only targets high schoolers, but it’s affecting the lives of college students as well (Konnikova 1). Cyberbullying takes place in the Internet world where is easier for a bully to gossip and humiliate multiple of victims in a faster pace. The studies have shown that cyberbullying is making a greater impact in the victims’ and the bullies’ lives more than the traditional bullying and many people are not aware of it; therefore the schools, witnesses, and employers should work together to fight against cyberbullying and provide help to the victims and bullies.
Apple has been going downhill ever since Steve Jobs passed away. They have been making less money and they have been being criticized and ridiculed for their business model and practices. I think Apple is going downhill in terms of popularity because they have been making foolish decisions in terms of marketing, production, and stabilizing peoples opinions on them. Overall Apple is a horrible company and I didn’t even really talk about how they screw over consumers by overpricing and effectively re-releasing their products throughout each
One particular incident at the small Tex-Mex diner required not only that I be able to deal successfully with even the most irate customers and keep my crew in check, but that I also exhibit collectedness in the face of an emergency. During dinner one night, a teenage customer fell to the ground on the way to the restrooms. Although she seemed responsive, she found that she was not able to stand back up and, from the expression on her face, it was very obvious that she was quite sick. After directing my crew to fetch me materials and the phone, and ensuring that paramedics were en route, I addressed the other, obviously distressed customers and requested that they keep away from the entrance and, no matter the goodness behind their intentions, to not assist. Thankfully, an ambulance arrived minutes later and everything turned out fine; I learned that the girl had donated plasma earlier in the day and did not stay adequately hydrated following the procedure, leading to her collapse. Despite being what many would consider a relatively reserved and nervous person, I still look back upon that night as having taught me the importance of staying level-headed and practical when working during such an event, a trait that I feel will serve me well as a veterinary professional.
Hamlet became reckless in his attempts to exact revenge against Claudius to send his father off to heaven. The tragic flaw that causes Hamlet’s downfall is his indecisive nature, as Hamlet spends adequate amounts of time planning to avenge his father’s death, and hence loses time to inflict revenge. By allowing these distractions and interruptions to come into play, it causes the already difficult task to become even less possible. Consequently, as Hamlet further delays killing the King with his indecisiveness, he puts additional people’s lives into jeopardy, and leads him towards his own tragic downfall. Hamlet’s indecisive nature is displayed in the soliloquy “To be, or not to be – that is the question”; this quote further shows Hamlet’s inability to take conclusive action. In the end, Hamlet simulated madness, to finish all possibilities of justification behind his
Technology has given individuals the opportunity to change the game of bullying. Cyber-bullying is one of the most common forms of bullying as of today. The Internet has no boundaries so the public has access to endless and countless number of things. Cyber-bully is the electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person (as a student) often done anonymously according to Merriam-Webster dictionary. While traditionally bullying and cyber-bullying are very comparable in forms of technique that also have many differences. Cyber-bullying gives the bully the benefit of hiding their identity behind a screen. This makes it easier to tear people down because they do not have to come in contact with anyone. It’s the easiest form of bullying. These can happen in text messages, chat rooms, email, websites, excluding people from certain online activities, digital photos, and social media. Cyber bullies have unlimited supplies of ways to hurt someone. It is difficult to conduct a study on cyber-bullying because the majority of people will not confess or admit to it. Instead, in the article “Cyber-bullying among adolescents: Measures in search of a construct.” Researchers sit and listen through the grapevine on what is going on inside of schools. They found out that cyber-bullying is more dealt with within adolescents than traditional interaction bullying. (Mehari, K. R., Farrell, A. D., & Le, A. H.) Cyber-bullying can cause more
Cyberbullying has become a serious dilemma because of the harm and pain it can leave. It affects so many teens and can potentially change their future. Cyberbullying can change a person’s mood, character, and even destroy someone’s motivation. This is an important issue that will hopefully be stopped in the near future.
Schedules are a difficult thing to balance. A person must find the time to complete a number of tasks in a day. A normal adult may have time to get everything done and still have time to spare. The normal college student on the other hand is constantly on the go. College students have busy schedules that include working, studying, and socializing.
Nowadays bullying has gone much farther than just physical violence. Most teens today have either been cyber bullied or have been witnesses to it. Cyber bullying is a form of bullying that is done over electronic messaging or over social media. This is very new to many people of the older generation, but is very relevant to the new generation. Cyber bullying is becoming an increasingly big problem in the U.S. every year. Being a kid who has grown up with technology and social media I have witnessed cyber bullying many times in my life. I have had many friends that have fell victim to cyber bullying and this is why I chose to talk about this topic. Since this topic of bullying is overlooked in our society as not being an issue I decided to choose
Customer relationship management or CRM for short is a model for managing a company’s interactions with current and future customers. When CRM is utilized correctly it will increase profitability and customer loyalty, which are both very important to an organization.
