Hi!
I’m Red-beard The Pirate and I can help you improve your grades with my book.
Are you a student looking to improve your grades?
Hey guys!
We’ve decided to publish a new style article this month to see what you think of it.
Once a month we’re going to be making a roundup of articles about college, school, and studying that I think you should read. Then I’ll give my thoughts.
Please let me know what you think!
Without further ado:
Life After College
MostlyMorgan.com
Smart Student Secrets is a study blog but what attracted me to it was how much it broke the traditional mold. People will tell you that skipping or putting off college is the end of the world. “You’ll never go back,” they’ll tell you but as Aaron put it:
“If you don’t go back to college then you probably shouldn’t have gone to college in the first place.” College isn’t the only path through life. It’s just the convenient box people try to put you in. No one will get in trouble recommending you go to college.
Imagine a college counselor recommending a student go into the military. Now imagine a parent’s response. That’s just a risky move for a counselor to make.
Imagine a college counselor recommending a student skip college. Again, imagine a parent’s response.
The world forgives counselors for blindly recommending college. The counselor barely has a choice.
In this article, Morgan tells her story and reminds you what’s really important in life.
A Complete Guide To Overcoming Finals Week
AsLifeGrows.com
In this article, Samantha goes over the finals prep essentials students need to keep in mind.
Finals can get overwhelming. It’s important to keep yourself focused on a system that will make sure it’s impossible for you to screw it up. This article lays out the basics of any good plan. (In my case, the coffee is absolutely essential.)
How To Decipher A Financial Aid Letter
TheCollegeSolution.com
Okay… I know this might not seem like the most fun article in the world but I promise you, it’s worth it.
College is one of the biggest expenses of your life! The costs matter.
I know why most people don’t dig in too deep with the financials. (I’ll admit it. I didn’t dig in when I first went to college either.)
It’s all so confusing! It’s almost like they’re trying to make you throw your money at them blindly regardless of results hoping you won’t ask too many questions… 😛 Almost… I’m not quite the cynical (yet.)
Learn this stuff. This is a great article that can help you make the best decision for you.
You Are Enough
CollegeMagazine.com
This article brought me back to freshman year. It’s a great read for anyone getting ready for their first year in college.
There are going to be rough times in college but they get better. You’re surrounded by other people but you’ll still find yourself lonely and longing for the familiar. I totally agree about the missing mom when you’re sick thing.
Fortunately, it doesn’t always stay that way and a little bit of waiting will get you farther than all that doubt and fear.
How To Live With Roommates
CollegeInfoGeek.com
One of the toughest parts of the transition to college is learning to share a dorm room with someone you’ve never met before. You don’t know what to expect. It’s impossible to prepare for.
What if your roommate is mean?
What if your roommate is loud?
Oh no… what if your roommate smells funny!?
Don’t freak out too much. I understand why you would. Let the smooth sounds of Thomas’ podcast relax you a little. You’ll learn a lot and you’ll feel better for it.
Well… unless your roommate smells…
Dealing With Sleep Deprivation In College
CollegeWithCaitlyn.com
Every college student understands the pain of late nights and early morning. I certainly doaibbbfs,/.nhfkjdsil
Oh sorry… I just fell asleep at the keyboard for a minute.
Anyway… in this article Caitlyn goes over a few important lessons that make sleep deprivation a little more manageable. This is absolutely essential when you’re trying to squeeze as much as you can into every day.
What did you think of this weeks roundup? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Is it finally time to UNLOCK your TRUE POTENTIAL?
You’re capable of extraordinary things.
I know that, not because I’ve met you, but because you’re doing something that most people don’t do. You’re exploring strategies for improving your scores and academic life.
Most folks let themselves go numb to it. They ignore it. They pretend that it’s not there and hope it goes away. But what they don’t do, is what you’re doing.
Studying. Working. Researching. Putting in the leg work.
The good news: you’re finishing up the hardest part. The hardest part is figuring out what you need to do. Once you get on the right path, it just gets easier from there.
This blog can teach you exactly what you need to know.
If you’re looking to learn what I’ve learned working with thousands of students and teaching hundreds of thousands of students to get straight-A’s the smarter and happier way – in the most potent form yet…
Buy my book – How To Get Happier Straight A’s.
It only costs $4.99 (and if these strategies don’t work like magic like it has for thousands of other students then you can get a full refund. My goal is to help you – if this doesn’t change your life then I don’t want your money.)
Thanks for the great advice.
I have got some problem with my roommate from few days. I think your advice will help to solve the problem.Thank you.
” College isn’t the only path through life ” true!
Hahah I love the description you used to explain my post. And again, thanks for sharing!
