Graduated Student

Falling in love during college is just a natural thing that happens to everyone. You will meet so many different people that you are definitely to fall for someone’s personality. Being in love is a beautiful thing and should be cherished at these young ages.

The bad part starts when this love takes over your everyday life and you are not able to do all the things you are supposed to. Here are some of the most common reasons why your love life can get in the way of your academic performance.

1. You don’t know how to balance the two

Starting a relationship at a young age can be quite tricky to manage. This factor intensifies if you’re a college student. The problem starts when you don’t know how to find a proper balance between the two. You certainly don’t want the person you’re with to feel neglected but you also don’t want to let your hard work go to waste and watch your grades get worse.

What you need to do is to make sure that you find a balance between the two. Make sure that you spend enough time with your loved one but you also give yourself enough time to study. This point leads us to our next one, which is just as important.

2. You haven’t set your priorities straight

A big mistake students make is to focus too much on a person and a situation rather than giving everything the time they need. If you find yourself doing that then you need to take a step back and look at what you’re doing. Young relationships usually don’t tend to last forever. If you believe though that the person you love will want to be by your side for a long time, you should probably know that they will want the best for you.

College is very important for your future and you need to keep in mind that you are spending money to attend it and you are wasting time from your life if you are not doing your best at it. The person you love will stick by your side if they want you to succeed and they will help you set your priorities straight and do your best.

3. The other person is too demanding

In some cases, some partners can be very demanding and can even get offended if you don’t give them your full and undivided attention. This might just be a sign that the relationship you’re in is not the best thing for you. The person you’re in love with should support you and understand when you need to focus on other things apart from your relationship.

Working it out

At the end of the day, you need to make sure that you are able to talk to your partner and make sure that they understand and want you to do well in college. You might be young and impulsive but you need to make sure that you know what’s most important to you and that you do all that you can for it so you do not regret it in the future.

Being in love is a very nice feeling and that intensifies a lot when you’re young. You just need to be sure that you find the right balance between everything and you don’t make any mistakes that will cost you in the future.

Every student has to deal with written projects that are often boring or unimportant. While the process of writing an essay is a good practice, the time it takes to do it is sometimes unavailable to you.

I had to deal with my fair share of academic frustrations, so I went online and looked for some help. I’m here to give you some tips and guidelines as to how you can find a good writing service for your own needs.

Think in advance

The more you prolong your procrastination, the harder it will be to find an adequate writing service. The internet is a vast place and there are dozens upon dozens of writing services all of which have different rules, pricing models and writers in general. Don’t wait until the last minute to start looking for outside help and start looking right now.

Outline your project

A good way to get yourself into trouble is to come in contact with a writer and have no idea as to what you want them to do for you. Outline your project as you would outline a briefing for a client.

• What is the subject of your paper?

• How much research is involved in writing it?

• Is there any personal writing or research you want to incorporate?

• How many pages does it need?

• When do you need it for?

Set your budget

Writing services operate on a per-page pricing model that varies depending on the urgency of your project. Finding a reliable service a few weeks in advance is a great way to save some money and get the project done on time.

Set a budget that you are unwilling to go over before you start looking. If a service is too expensive for you, move on to the next one.

Look for specialized services

Some writing services specialize in technical writing or legalities while others work with college essays and resumes. Choose the writing service based on your own needs – not the word of mouth around campus.

Not every writer will be adequate for your project and you shouldn’t rush into a commitment without thinking it through. Specialized writing services are always a smarter investment than generalized “we can do anything” ones.

Find reviews online

Finding reliable reviews, testimonials, and comments about the writing service you choose are essential. Many of the sites you come across will seem legitimate at first.

However, like any niche out there, custom writing has its own fair share of fake websites. Pay attention to small details such as reviews, comments, and thoughts that people have about them online before committing.

Contact customer support

A good indication of professionalism and punctuality of a writing service is the customer support they have. Customer support is an important element of a writing service, especially if your paper needs revisions or editing later on.

If the support line works well and the people on the other end are communicative, have a good command of English language and are pleasant to talk to, you have nothing to worry about. Make sure to check off all of these points and then start talking about actual writing services that you require.

Final summation

When all is said and done, a writing service is only as good as the writers they hire. Many writing services have transparent writer profiles posted on their homepages which is also a good indication of their services.

Go through all the points I’ve listed above and the right writing service for your specific needs will pop up fairly quickly. There is no denying that these services are helpful and needed for college students and others when the time is not on their side.

Believe me when I say this – being a college freshman isn’t easy. Whether you prepare for your first year by reading blogs or making friends with seniors, you will always be struck by something new and unfamiliar.

My first college year was difficult for all the wrong reasons, but mainly due to my negligence and the fact that I thought I was smarter than everyone else. Let’s take a look at some of the ups and downs I had to deal with in my freshman year and how you can do better than me when your time comes.

Skipping out on the orientation

Orientation varies from college to college but it all comes down to one thing – socializing with the campus staff and grounds. The sooner you know your way around the campus, important facilities, and labs, the better off you will be. I skipped out on my orientation due to family issues and admittedly I didn’t think much of it.

However, since I barely knew anyone from my future student group, it was very difficult to orient myself for the first several weeks. Don’t skip out on orientation if you want to be up-to-date with the locations and unwritten rules of your college.

Making very few friends

I’m a loner by nature, but so are other people. This is something that I overlooked by a large margin in my first year of college. I was always eagerly waiting to go home, relax and read up on my notes instead of socializing with other students. Once the time came to do group projects and actually cooperate with my colleagues, I barely knew anyone by name.

I had a tough time catching up on everyone’s personalities and preferences, but it all came out well in the end. One thing in which college differentiates from high school is the open-minded nature of everyone on the campus. People embraced me for who I am as soon as I decided to open up – something I will always be grateful for.

Know what you want from the get-go

Listing all the things I did wrong in my freshman year makes me look like an unorganized and uninterested student – that’s not entirely the case, however. I didn’t have anyone around that was older than me and could give me advice as to how to handle college in general.

I always thought of college as an extension of high school where you do the same thing for additional four years. The plethora of extracurricular activities, clubs, and courses took me by surprise so much so that I barely managed to choose what I want to do.

It’s a good idea to set aside some time and take a look at all the activities and side pastimes your college offers. Most colleges offer extra points and incentivize activity outside of regular courses – something I was also unaware off until late into my first year.

Healthy and progressive atmosphere

My favorite thing about college is the way everyone acts with each other – as if you were all colleagues working on a common project. What this means is that you will rarely find a teacher or a staff member that treats you like a child.

Everyone addresses others with respect and in a relaxed, collegial way. No one will ever look at you and judge you for being different or having unorthodox beliefs or habits.

A college is a place where people come to develop professional skills which they can use afterward to get a job and start an adult life. This is the mindset of most people you will come across in college, and finding this out was the coolest moment of my freshman year.

Conclusion

If there is one thing I would advise you to do if you are a future freshman it’s that you should inform yourself properly. Don’t think that you are ready for college just because you passed your entry exam – there is much more to it. Put all of your desired skills and knowledge on a list and find ways in which you can focus on those elements once your semester starts.

Having some sort of guideline to work with from the very beginning can be of great help even though it may not seem that way right now. Use whatever your college provides for you to learn and develop as an individual and a future professional.

What is the most memorable thing from your college experience?

The answer to this definitely has to be my graduation. It was just an amazing day for me. After you’ve been in college for a few years, you simply can’t help feeling overwhelmed and excited to finally be holding your degree in your hands.

It’s just an amazing experience filled with emotions. I didn’t know what I would be doing after I graduated but I was just so happy to be surrounded by friends and family and finally see my hard work being rewarded.

What are your hobbies?

I love writing a lot as I believe it is the best way for me to express myself and get to put my thoughts out there in a more constructed manner. I also love meditating and listening to music. While I was a freshman, I went through a lot of stress and it was difficult for me to adjust and get to know how to deal with everything that was going on around me. Meditation really helped me cope with the anxiety and find some solid ways to overcome it.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In five years from now, I hope that I have finally figured exactly what I want to work on professionally and landed the job of my dreams. I really hope this blog will still keep going and end up being a success so I can offer my advice to as many students as possible and help anyone who needs help with coping with college and studying.

 

Many students are kind of afraid of graduating. It’s one of those things that you will either look forward to or simply be terrified of. After college finishes, there are a lot of things that you will have to deal with. You will need to find yourself a job, start paying taxes and actually start behaving like a proper adult. Most people are not ready for that kind of responsibility and might even try postponing it just so they can enjoy being carefree students for a little while longer.

When I think of my graduation, I never think of it as something stressful or bad. I was one of those students who was actually really looking forward to graduating. I couldn’t wait to start taking on more responsibilities and prove to both myself and to my peers that I could make it and I could do all that I had in mind.

How it all went down

I had been looking forward to that day for ages. After my thesis was completed, I knew that the time was approaching. There are so many things that go through your mind when college is about to end and you have so many things to do. I would soon have to leave my dorm apartment, I would have to part ways with many good friends and come to terms with the fact that things might be a lot tougher than I expected them to be.

As the days approached, I started packing my things and appreciating the things I had experienced more and more. I knew I would have to start planning my future soon but I wasn’t quite sure whether I would like to do that at that very moment. My family had always been very supportive so I knew they would help me by giving me some space and the help I needed in order to find the best next step for my future.

When the day of my graduation came, I couldn’t possibly have felt more excited. It had honestly been a while since I had seen my family and friends from back home so I was looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating my happy day with them. Friends from college who were graduating with me were all nervous and excited and we couldn’t help but be optimistic and ready to take on life and do our best in the world that awaited us.

The ceremony was short, and everyone was well dressed and had put on their best smiles. Getting my degree in my hand and holding it felt as if I had accomplished something very big and while college can be very tough and quite the challenge, I knew that the best and the most challenging part was yet to come.

Taking the time to think

The days that followed went by pretty fast as I decided to move back in with my parents for a short while until I could plan my next moves. I had gotten one or two job offers already but I was considering them and trying to see what would be best for my future.

Graduation just lasts for one day and it might be short but it truly is the end of one era and the start of another. What is the one thing that made your graduation day special to you?
