If you’re not sure about giving blood, watch this Red Cross video, The Donation Process, that will take you through the process.

1. Take plenty of notes: Writing down what the teacher says is a sure way to remember the lesson.

2. Find a friend in the class: Get the phone number of someone in the class to swap and compare notes when necessary.

3. Teach the material to someone else: By teaching others, you are more likely to cement the information into your mind.

Follow these tips and have a great school year! Study hard and get good grades. Make the most of your schooling!

1. Find time for socialization: This has many benefits. First of all, you need a break from studying and friends will help take your mind off the stress of school. Also, you will meet people who will tell you about good classes and teachers as you make decisions for your schooling. One more thing socializing will help with is networking. You can meet many people and make connections to help you as you search for a job-opening in the field of your choice.

2. Be involved: Join clubs, attend service groups, benefit from study reviews, enjoy school activities, etc. All these things will help you feel involved in your schooling so that you will know what is going on and find opportunities that you may not ever have again. Also, these activities for involvement are good resume-enhancers!

3. Immerse yourself in the material: You’re paying the money and you’re hopefully studying something you enjoy, so you should completely dive in and don’t hold back. Participate in class. Read and study until the material has sunk in. Teach it to others if you can, because teaching helps cement it in your mind.

Follow these steps and find more enjoyment at school and make it more worth your while!

1. Concise: You may have a lot of experience and information to add, but summarize and edit until you can fit the necessary info on one…maybe two pages.

2. Use bullets: If you want the employer to quickly look at your resume and see important points, you should put these in bullets. This way the employer can quickly scan the document and see what distinguishes you from another applicant. Putting this information into a paragraph makes it harder for the employer to scan with ease.

3. Don’t have too much fun with fonts: You may like many different fonts, but for the purpose of a resume-it is better to not use many fonts. Try to just use one. It will look cleaner and more professional. Get a second opinion when choosing a font if you are not sure if it looks professional enough. The last thing you want to do is have a solid resume  content-wise, but be rejected because it contains too many fonts or a font that does not look professional.

Despite the fact that back-to-school shopping is not something widely said by students in college, the point is that new supplies, clothes, and shoes are oft times still needed. The trick is to find the best deals on what you need and to save by not spending on the things you already have!

Before going out and buying more paper, notebooks, folders, sticky notes, 3×5 cards, pencils, pens, highlighters, etc; take an inventory of what you already have. Odds are, you have an old notebook that is only half-used. This would be perfect for a class that you know won’t require much note-taking. Perhaps you already have a folder or binder that is in good use. Just change the label/title and re-use it! No need to buy what you already have!

When it comes to clothes and shoes, look for sales and discounted stores. There is a great store in Provo, Utah and other locations called Susie’s Deals. This is a great store because it has brand new clothes for only $5.99 or less. It is great because they sell many clothes at a discounted price. You may even be able to see the original price tag and see that you are getting an article of clothing from another brand that used to be worth about $40 for only $5.99! There are ways to find new clothes and shoes! Just be a bargain shopper and you can look nice without spending too much!

There are certain traits learned from physical exercise that allow students to perform better in the classroom. A student who plays any kind of sport is forced to have a strained focus on one object for an extended period of time. This training of focus allows students to more effectively use their time in the classroom and learn the material better the first time around.

Exercise also calms students and lets them pay more attention in class. Students who have lest pent-up energy are able to be calm and be in the best possible mental state to start learning classroom material.

Exercise also helps build endurance, the same endurance that helps students study hard for longer periods of time. The very same endurance that helps them learn even at the very end of the school day.

If you have the time, make sure that you go out an get plenty of exercise, it will help you become a better student and feel better about life in general.
