The Next Step: A New Semester

By

As you're getting ready to go onto the next step, that being the next semester, you might be worried or stressed about many things moving forward. That, being like many others, increased academic workload, potential for challenging new courses, adjusting to new professors, managing a busy schedule, concerns about performance in higher-level classes, and the pressure to maintain good grades. These are all problems even I face when going from semester to semester, Which is why I'll be providing you with a quick guide on steps and tips to get you ready and prepared for this semester to come.


Steps To Get You Ready


  • Quick Registration: Being able to register quickly allows for you to have way more options for class arrangement than those students who wait later in the registration period who get left with left over classes. This also allows you to view the professors to be able to see which youd prefer to have for that semester.


  • Look At Major Requirements: Looking at your major requirements allows you to choose and take the classes needed so you dont take unnessisary classes that add onto the pile you already have making graduating a longer process.


  • Keeping Up With Your Studies: Being able to keep up with your studies allows you to be prepared and ready for next semester without any worries on weither your missing assignments or anything that would prevent you from moving on.


  • Reflect On The Past Semester: Looking back on your past semester allows you to analyze what worked well in your study habits last semester and identify areas where you can improve.


  • Set Clear Goals: Establishing specific academic goals for the next semester, including desired grades and learning objectives allows you to be more focused and goal driven improving performance.


  • Making a Sleep Schedule: Gradually transitioning back to a consistent sleep schedule aligned with your class times allows for you to be less tired for your classes as well as allows you to be on time for those classes.


  • Learn About Your Professor: Using sites like Rate My Professor allows you to understand each professor's teaching style and preferred communication methods. As well as learn if their class is for you.

I conducted an informational interview with a Civil and Criminal defense lawyer in New York City. He has been associated with this profession since twenty five years. He spends most of his time dealing cases in Kings County.   ·                      What types of criminal defense matters do you handle? The first case that I dealt in court was an arson case.

I have also handled thousands of DUIs (Driving under the Influence) and a handful of sex crimes over the years. I handle both misdemeanors and felonies. ·                      Can you tell me about a typical day on the job? There is no such thing as an average day for an attorney, you might spend whole day...

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

By
So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
