Everyone Is Not College Material
Do you believe that college is for everyone? The article "Is College for Everyone" was written by Pharinet. It is located on the website
AssociatedContent.com. Pharinet states her opinion that college is not for everyone. She explains the challenges of receiving a higher education. Now
days individuals are expected to receive an education beyond high school. People believe you have to attend college to earn a degree for a brighter
and successful future. Pharinet suggest, "Higher education is not the key to happiness and success for everyone." Reasons for attending college differ
depending on the person. Some people find college to be a little out of their price...show more content...
There are students in this world who are illiterate but they are still enrolled in courses!
Pharinet's purpose for publishing this article is to inform people that everyone is not designed to attend college. She presents us with an abundant
amount of reasons why her beliefs are as strongly as they are. Yes, a higher education is important. Everyone has the right to receive an education as
well, but that does not mean that everyone is meant to enroll in college courses. Pharient also states many facts. Everyday there are thousands of
people enrolling for college, but there is no guarantee that each individual will graduate. She mentioned, "It is estimated in the U.S., approximately
50% of students who begin college never graduate." Can you imagine how much money is spent on classes and materials for someone not to graduate?
She makes it clear that many students are not aware of the financial and academic encounters that come with receiving a higher education. A majority
of people pay off their schooling by scholarships, grants, and loans. Students may even find themselves trying balance a full–time job, while attending
school full–time as well. As a result, they will probably become extremely stressed and their grades will begin to languish. Many people stop being
full–time students and become a part–time student instead because their body and mind are being over worked.

My Life In College
my life as a student and becoming a teen have been hard and difficult, well now days what teenagers life isn't hard and difficult right? i think other
wise in a way i've learned how to deal with obstacles with school, family, and even relationships. i sometimes fail and tumble at times to where i
think this is where i give up and can't do it anymore but i have support from family and friends. growing up in school was tough in a way were i
wasn't the same person i was in middle school, i used to settle for failure and think it was okay but now failure isn't an option anymore i choose to
think failure is just another bump in the road i can over come. growing up was hard with my mom being a single parent, i had to take on more to
do at the house then just be a student for school and worry just about school, i had to adapt with only my mom being around and no father figure to
help me out. as most people say from my family to my friends i'm a diligent person, i like everything to be a certain way or if it's not then
everything goes wrong. me as a person being at home and in school are the same, the way i worry about my grades being good enough for my mom
is the same way i worry about the house being clean enough for her as well. when things come down to my grades and school work i try my hardest
to get things done right away but being a teenager come in the way, i choose to sometimes relax a little bit longer then i should instead of getting things
done. i know how to keep up

Essay on Dorm Life
Dorm Life
College can be great; living with your roommates can be a nightmare. But wait......before you throw in the towel, make sure you know and understand
the rules of a dorm room. Dorm life is something almost every college student must experience. It's not as easy as it seems either. Most of the time
students will try to room with people they know, but normally a student can't be that lucky to make that happen. It can actually be easier living with
people who are complete strangers, than living with people that have been there through life.
The first thing to accomplish is knowing the fact that in a dorm room, everyone has a job. Everyone in the room must provide certain things. For
example, one should bring the...show more content...
Your effectiveness with this message will depend on how assertively you deliver it. Try not to sound meek and apologetic, because then they may
dismiss your concerns. But try not to sound blaming and angry either, as if they are a horrible person; that will make them defensive. In both your
choice of words and tone of voice, strive to come across as one friendly, reasonable adult talking to another friendly, reasonable adult. You have
something important you want to say, and you assume they'll listen."
Being inconsiderate with one another is something else many roommates have problems with. Classes are at different times, so waking up to get
ready for class with occur at different times as well. Aroommate may get to sleep longer than another roommate. So if there were another room, to not
make problems, it would be best to get ready where the other roommates can't be disturbed. Slamming things around, and being loud in general is
neither considerate nor respectful of the other people living there. Problems will more than likely occur and living together will be much harder. Every
College student should know, you must be considerate with one another or else your living situations are going to have a downslide. You can't take for
granted that your roommate, or anyone else, will know what you want or do what you think they should. People aren't mind readers. To get results, you
have to communicate assertively, expressing your wishes, feelings and needs

Essay about College Life
College Life
Dear Freshman Friend:
Hello and welcome to college! You will spend the next four years of your life studying, sleeping, eating, exercising, making friends, making enemies,
falling in love, being heart broken, plagiarizing, and suffering in this ancient institution called university. You probably learned from brochures,
applications, and other similar college advertisements the number of volumes the library owns, the name of your future college professors, and even
how many hectares the university covers. But nobody has ever talk to you about this: the reality of college students. These are secrets behind the
walls, the subject that many admission officers had tried for decades to keep it as a secret until this...show more content...
Here is some advice that can make the adjustment process easier:
В·Roommates––you can be sharing your room with a psycho, compulsive maniac, nerd, punk, or Goth, it can be very scary and frustrating at the
same time. My advice is to set up a camcorder to follow all his actions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for about a month to decide whether or not he
/she is "normal". If your roommate passes the test then you will be all right. If not request a room change claiming that you suffer twentythreephobic,
or any other phobia that beginnings with your room number.
В·Food Cafeteria––you will hate it. Especially when the ham sandwich you were served for lunch look suspiciously like the honey baked ham you
were served at dinner the night before. You will end up eating cereal, bagels, and soda whenever there is "recycled" food. If you plan to buy pizza,
ice cream, or any junk food for late night snacks, keep it in your own fridge otherwise it will be gone within two minutes. Coffee and Coke will
disappear faster during midterms and finals.
В·R.A and RD––Resident Assistant and Resident Director's main job is to "safeguard hall resident's concerns and needs". But they can be humans as
well. If you hate yours and want to driving him crazy keep nagging him/her about: how cold/hot your room is, the color of your room's roof, the
cafeteria food, your homesickness,
