...When your senior year is coming to an send and you are getting ready to venture off to college, it can seem intimidating. High school is a safe and familiar place to most people. This makes it hard to think about moving away to college, which is new and unfamiliar. There are a few differences between the two, but nothing that can not be overcome. One major difference in college is that you have to manage your own time. You don't go in every class five days a week, so that can make it harder to keep track of your work. In high school you homework that is due the next day, but in college you have assignments that can be due a whole week from when it is given. Learning how to manage your time and not procrastinate is probably the hardest battle...

...There are many events that can shape a person into who they are going to be for the rest of their lives. Leaving home and being independent at college is an event that will mature someone extensively. It is a life changing event where a child faces the realisms of adulthood. It can be a scary thing, living without a parent and making money that has to spent wisely. It is definitely a life changing event that morphs a child into a young adult, experiencing the real world. Moving away to college is what helps people mature because a person is isolated from the world they once knew and are experiencing what it is like to be free of any rules. People who want to succeed and make a great deal of money when they graduate, focus on what is important and do not take their new freedom for granted. Being alone and away from everyone, a person does not have to be the loser in high school anymore, they can be the president of the chemistry club and have a numerous amount of friends that have the same interests. College is different from high school and gives people a chance to be who they really want to be, they do not need to conform to the social norms expected of them when in high school. Getting a chance to be who a person really is matures them....

...Three years ago I left my home and came to the US following the dream of better education. At that time I just turned eighteen and had no experience in travelling, my English was undeveloped, and I was very limited in finances. Although I had doubts about starting a new life alone in a foreign country, I persevered and decided to surpass my limits. My primal reason of travelling across the ocean was to rediscover American culture, avoiding stereotypes I grew up on, and to search for opportunities. While working hard all summer long for sixty hours a week, I made time to travel, meet people, and got to know the community. One day my American friend brought me to the local community college in Manteo, North Carolina. I passed all the tests and...

...College Football Helmets: Protecting Them During a Move Your collection of college football helmets may or may not be expensive, but it’s worth protecting during a move. Although the helmets may seem quite sturdy and difficult to break, they can be fragile and experience damage that can ruin their appearances and decrease their values, substantially. Chipped or cracked helmets, smudged autographs, broken faceguards, and chipped decals are just a few of the injuries that helmets can suffer. Moving is said to be one of the most stressful times in person’s life, but you can make it a bit smoother by taking the time to keep your valuables safe. Call Your Insurance Company Before you do anything, consult with your insurance company about what it covers during a move. Chances are, the moving company does not offer insurance. However, they may offer a plan that pays you a portion back for items that are lost or damaged. Your actual insurance may cover items completely. If you don’t already have that coverage on your plan, inquire about what the company offers that can protect your items. Adding additional protection on your plan could prevent you from suffering a major loss. Find a Company That Specializes in Moving Collectibles...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and Its Background Introduction Changes are permanent thing on earth. Are the people is ready enough to accept the changes on the educational system? The current opening of classes here in the Philippines usually starts from June to March but our lawmakers want to amend the opening of classes. The existing school calendar which spans from June to March is often disrupted as destructive typhoons plague the region during the rainy season that’s why our lawmakers decided to move the opening of classes from September through May to avoid numerous class suspensions and serve to protect the students during strong typhoons. The Department of Education said that it is open to the proposal by some sectors, including lawmakers to move the opening of classes but they want to ensure the comfort of the students in school and stresses the need for a comprehensive study. While the Department of Education is open on the proposal, some did not welcome this idea. An initial survey on the matter conducted way back in 2009. On the respondents, 66 percent were against the move while 34 percent were in favor. [1] Also, another ground for rejecting the proposal is the traditions celebrated during summer and being not conducive in learning because of hot weather during March. The delay in suspension of classes is one of the reasons why our lawmakers and other sectors in the community urge to move the classes from June to September. Unexpected...

...Packing up your room and leaving your home to head off to college is something that everyone has thought about and some dream about. I was one of them, excited to be the only one in my family to made it to college. I was excited to finally get out of the house away from my parents, finally have some freedom and make my dad proud of me for leaving the town that my family has always stayed in for so long. But as soon as I started actually packing my things and getting ready for school I began to panic and rethinking my decision on leaving. I remember packing my clothes in a big box the night before and crying on my floor thinking about how I was leaving home for longer than I ever had before. High school teachers always talk about how they are...

...half of college freshmen show some concern with how to pay for college. This is the highest this number has been since 1971 (S. Chan and Kim Chan). The amount of college graduate debt has been rapidly increasing also. With limited jobs available because of the high unemployment rate, college graduates find themselves staying in debt even longer. However, grants and financial aid are available to students, but students still struggle to pay for their college tuition. Although some claim that higher education is still affordable, higher education costs too much because the state’s revenue is low, the unemployment rate is high, and graduates cannot pay off loans. One reason that higher education is not affordable is that the states’ revenue is low and the states are in debt. Because of their decreasing tax revenues, many states need to make cuts in their budget. As a result of this, tuition is rising and other changes are happening throughout colleges. Some of these changes include: higher student to faculty ratios, less but larger classes, and fewer on-campus jobs that normally support students (Scaliger). These changes affect students and impact their view and decisions of certain colleges. The tuition rate has also “been rising at about 6 percent a year for most of the past ten years” (S. Chan and Kim Chan). This percent inevitably makes it harder for students to find an affordable college. High tuition prices also keep some people from attending their dream college. All of...

...want to pursue. This causes problems when trying to break barriers and work to create new innovations. College presents students with the opportunity to become whoever they choose to be, and find an occupation to fit that. College is an opportunity that allows you to pursue the “American Dream”. The opportunities that college present you with are endless and are open to however you choose to use them. As we are occupying our time about the limits we make ourselves we should be working to broaden our horizon in all aspects. Frank Bruni discussed specific points about what he believes the college experience should be such as networking, involvement in school activities and social media. Moving on from anything you have spent a lot time with or doing takes a lot of willpower to complete. Though this may be hard doing, moving on to become something greater is key to your success. Frank Bruni stresses this in his New York Times article. When in college, students tend to lean towards what they used to do in previous years as a form of comfort and support. This causes students to stay in a “gated community” per say. Students should be networking and expanding themselves rather than trying to recreate their high school years. Joining new groups and clubs instead of reaching to find identical substitutes allows you to broaden your horizons in all social suspects. Students believe college is too much about finding resources that aid them with their own personal preferences when they should...

...Beginning college studies is like starting an entirely new life. One would think that college was simply an academic extension of high school, but that is far from the truth. The commencement of one life marks the end of another life. It is a time where the previous life of a high schooler ceases to exist, and is replaced by a different world. In fact, the major changes a student goes through are more indicative of growing up than they are of getting smarter. The following paragraphs explore some of the differences student face when moving on from high school to college. Often, students nearing their high school graduation wonder what new challenges will be waiting for them in college. When the days of college finally arrive, they realize that these challenges are major and will alter their lives forever. From the first semester, right from the start, the college freshman notices a drastic difference in terms of personal freedom. For one thing, most college students do not continue to live with their parents. College is a time when the former high schooler develops a greater level of independence. The student grows and matures, moves her belongings and finds a new place to live. Sometimes, she finds a roommate, someone who is not a member of the family. Moving doesn't just have to be leaving the home in search of a new one. Sometimes students make an even bigger transition than simply leaving the house. In the United States it is very common for students to leave their home...

...If you were to walk around a college campus and conduct a survey on the percentage of students that are constantly stressed out, what would that percentage be? 50%? 70%? Maybe even 95%? It is common knowledge that one's college years, although fun, can be extremely stressful. Many college students have never been taught how to relieve that stress. It is scientifically proven that exercise, especially running, is the most underused stress reliever there is. Now, with that being said, how many college students are going to get up off of the couch and go for a run? The answer: Not very many. What college students need is motivation. Motivation can come in many ways, but one way is to give them a cause to run for. If colleges all around the country start sponsoring 5k’s, 10k’s, or even Marathons that are run for cancer patients or children in need, more college students will be willing to go from the couch to the street for those causes. Another way to get students moving is creating fun ways to work out. Normal gym workouts with weights and treadmills can become monotonous, but add a little spice to a workout, and getting students off of their bums may not be so hard. Anything from crazy, muddy, races to hot yoga in the park to having a “bring your dog for a run” day, can be great ideas to help create a guide for students to become more health conscious. Yet, being healthy does not solely consist of moving one’s body. The definition of health, in all reality, is to remain in a state...

...Things You'll Need: * Commercial driver's license * Moving truck * Insurance * Business cards * Website 1. 1 Pick a niche for your company as well as a name. You can specialize in office moves, late night/off hour moves, apartment moving, or out-of-town moves. Be sure to get an assumed name certificate for your moving company. 2. 2 Obtain a commercial driver's license from the Georgia Department of Driver Services. You will need to pay a $35 application fee (unless you are a veteran or school bus driver) and a $10 permit fee. 3. 3 Decide where you will store your moving truck. If you have a driveway or are allowed to park on the street, it will cost you much less than having to rent a warehouse or commercial parking space. 4. 4 Lease a commercial truck with a trailer that is at least 700 cubic feet. This size truck will allow you to move small offices, houses, and apartments to start with. 5. 5 Purchase, from a company such as New Haven USA, furniture pads, dollys, and other equipment you will need to perform moves. 6. 6 Hire at least one person with a commercial driver's license to work for you as an independent contractor--you will make more money if you have another person to make moves quicker. As you will be trusting him around your customer's property, make sure that you do a background check on him, have him sign a standard agreement that outlines what he will be paid and how often, and use IRS Form SS-8. 7. 7 ...
