...Over the span of my eighteen year-long lifetime, I have set hundreds of goals for myself, from scoring goals in soccer games to getting an “A” on this next math exam. Goals are a great tool to use to focus one’s attention towards things that benefit one who needs to get something done. Back in July, I wrote a few goals that I wanted to achieve during my first semester of sophomore year in West Virginia University. My first of these goals was to earn at least a 3.5 grade point average over the semester. All throughout school back in my hometown, I had gotten one “C”, one “B”, and many “A”s. I was used to being one of the smart kids with the good grades. In college, I assumed that everything would be different, and that I would struggle a lot more than I had. Just recently, in the middle of the second half of the semester, I calculated my expected GPA. If I end with the grades that I expect to have for the semester, I will have a 3.7! When I wrote down my goal, I thought that I was setting the bar too high so that I would push myself to achieve the goal. Now I realize that I really can do better than I expected, and plan to push myself similarly in the future! I also wanted to stick out to my teachers during my first semester. I have met...

While UCI provides sustainable transportation incentives, has some infrastructure for biking, a bike-rental program, and is home to a few bike-enthusiast clubs, the campus is falls short in three of the LAB’s “E”s: Engineering, Education, and Encouragement. Engineering: There are three types of bicycle routes on the UCI campus. These include dedicated bicycle paths, pedestrian/bicycle shared paths, roads with bike lanes, and a small number of sharrows (located on the roads within housing complexes). Currently, there are only three distinct sections of the UCI campus that have dedicated bicycle lanes, which are all located on the outskirts of campus. The most commonly used bike path within the UCI campus is a mixed pedestrian/bicycle path encircling Aldrich Park. Roads with bike lanes make up the majority of UCI’s current bike infrastructure. Importantly, there are a number of highly travelled roads, such as Adobe Circle and Adobe Circle South, that contain no bike lanes. However, many of the existing bike lanes, paths, and sharrows lack clear signage, and connectivity so often go either unnoticed, or bypassed. This not only hinders biking to campus, by making it difficult or...

...learning to adapt and immerse myself into the Chinese culture is a challenge I would like to face. This really puts me to the test as I realized that my theoretical knowledge was no match compared to my practical knowledge. I kept being surprised, again and again, as I noticed how much I was capable of. I wanted to give it a shot. Thus, I had the idea that I could move to Shanghai for 3 months. 1 Cultural Differences When I arrived to Shanghai, it did not take me long to realize that we have different views on manners and common courtesies. 1.1 Arpartment My friends and I arrived in Shanghai a couple of days before the beginning of the semester. We had planned to look for an apartment off-campus. In a 2-3-day span, we had worked with two rental agencies and took a look at three apartments. It...

...lowering the drinking age would destroy our country. How come it hasn’t destroyed Canada or England? Some people believe that lowering the drinking age should not be that big of an issue, and that the problem lies on the fabrics of the population. Some even argue that lowering the drinking age will solve many issues we face today, and that underage drinking, alcoholism, and drug abuse would decrease. “Since 1984, we have had, in effect, a national drinking age of 21. The law imposes prohibition --we must call this what it is--on everyone under the age of 21, including those age 18-20 who are, in the eyes of the law, in all other respects, adults” (McCardell, 2010). Why would our country go into despair if the MLDA is lowered? Many factors point to the facts that underage drinking is a big problem in our age. “In the late 1970s and the early 1980s, largely independent efforts to raise state MLDAs resulted in differing state minimum drinking ages across the United States. This patchwork of drinking ages encouraged underage individuals in states with higher MLDAs to drive across state borders to drink or purchase alcohol in neighboring states that had lower MLDAs, probably contributing to higher rates of traffic crashes among youth aged 18–20” (Toomey, Traci L., Toben F. Nelson, and Kathleen M. Lenk, 2009). Within this same argument, underage drinking is causing many fatalities outside of traffic accidents; youth are dying due to health issues as a result of alcohol abuse at an early...

...Name (Optional): ____________________ Age: _____ Gender: _____ Year and Section_____ LIVING ACCOMODATION The questions in this scale ask you about your feelings and thoughts about your living situation college life. Elements to be considered when evaluating your living situation include your roommate(s), your room/apartment/house itself, your neighbors/suitemates, your neighborhood or area on campus, and the general environment of your living arrangement. In each case, you will be asked to indicate how often you felt or thought a certain way. Although some of the questions are similar, there are differences between them and you should treat each one as a separate question. The best approach is to answer each question fairly quickly. That is, don’t try to count up the number of times you felt a particular way, but rather indicate the alternative that seems like a reasonable estimate. For each question circle one of the following alternatives 0. Never 2. Sometimes 4. Very Often 1. Almost never 3. Fairly Often 1. Last semester, how often were you upset because of something that happened unexpectedly concerning your living situation? 0 1 2 3 4 2.

...Course: Marketing Principles Professor: Girish Prayag Supervisor: Jeanette McDonald Skema Bachelor Spring 2011 Executive Summary Undergraduate students at the Skema Business School at Sophia-Antipolis, France; we have been conducting an on-campus marketing feasibility study to evaluate what would be the chances of successfully implementing a new service to the entire school community, focusing especially on the French student population. Our service concept involves educating our target market about recycling (focusing on the recycling of electronics), motivating our target market to recycle electronic devices, collecting the devices and handling them to recycling facilities. We carried out an initial exploratory research in the form of a focus group and based on it, on our insights and perceptions about the relation between the issue of recycling and our school, and also based on secondary research, we developed a descriptive research in the form of a questionnaire in French composed by closed-ended questions to be answered by 100 francophone Skema students chosen randomly across various classrooms. We obtained a 100% response rate. The analysis of the study results has indicated that despite the fact that practically everyone considers recycling important, almost a third of the respondents don’t take into consideration how green a school is before applying to it. Most people recycle plastic and paper, but only a very small number...
