Research Prompt 4

One new study habit that i have acquire through college is the use of note cards. They are a great memorization tool and they are cheap, too.

I believe that differences between reading for fun and reading for learning, are that when one reads for fun, they get into a book and truly enjoy the aspects. But when one is required to read for a class, it sucks the fun out of the book. Every piece of literature, with a few exceptions, that I have had to read for a class, have been the most boring books that i have ever laid my eyes on.

When I get confused about something that I am reading, I read over the text a couple more times to try and understand. If reading over the text again doesn't help, then I usually ask other people's input.

In ten years, I believe that a night out for me will consist of my husband and I going to a nice restaurant for a fulfilling meal and then maybe a movie because I like the traditional, laid back dates, and I would want to spend my nights out with people I care about. :)

Compared with the people I hang out with right now, the people in my future will probably be the exact same.

Most of the people I meet in college are wild and party a lot.

The next time I take a class that requires me to do a lot of work outside of class time, I will reconsider what I am getting myself into!

Research Prompt 3

Each week is getting a little bit tougher in classes, but i manage to stay on top of things and use my time wisely. Although I am getting work done, I still procrastinate a little bit. Until this week I did not know how to work Microsoft Excel, which I still am a little unsure about, but through the SAM program and what Mr. Gentile taught us, I know the basics.

For the Kappa Delta Alumni, I would first like to start by discussing with you all, that as I new Florida State University freshman, I find college a little bit more stressful than high school. I have managed to make high standard grades and I will be starting school as a sophomore in the Spring of 2008. School is a top priority in my life, so i just wanted to share with not only the alumni, but with the rest of my sisterhood that it is possible to incorporate school, Kappa Delta, and even work into one's daily life. I love representing my sorority as a woman of intelligence and of high standards.

During my brief article, the school played the main role because it is the institution where I am educated.

If I wanted to seek out any sort of information I would go about that through the internet. Websites like Google.com and AskJeeves.com are great search engines for basically anything.
