Do's and Don'ts of Freshmen in College by a Freshman in College
I’ve recently finished my first semester of college, and I’ll be beginning my second semester in a couple weeks. I’m in community college and I’m still living at home so I don’t quite know everything, but I think what I’ve compiled so far is a good basis. Here’s what to know when you’re going into your first year of college.

My Current Job Situation
As some disabled people do, I face long-term unemployment. Maybe employers don’t want to mess up my situation since you have to be low-income to qualify at all. I applied at GNC since I feel that future doctors should be working at GNC if I happen to know about supplements. I also have other job applications I need to turn in at the mall. The mall has plenty of jobs. I’m willing to work in food service again. I also want to go back to school and take online classes. I can do both, and keep up with online self-paced pagan school and even Penn Foster. I finished a private investigation course at Penn Foster.com this year. I got this done by December. I nailed an 87 percent B, I feel old guilt about because it wasn’t an A.

Advice From a Resident Assistant
You were, at some point, a freshman moving into the residence halls and the resident assistants (RAs) were there to welcome you with open arms. You may have went into the traditional residence halls or dorms, possibly a cosy suite-style hall, or even an apartment, but no matter where you were, there was an RA or equivalent (my university uses community assistants or CAs). We are here to make your living, academic, and social life thrive as you go through your time at your respective university. We are those mentors, tutors, and guides that aid you through the years, and hope that you make the best of them. You may have left your RA behind if you moved off of campus, or you just got a new one a couple weeks back, but here is some advice from one RA at a state school in little town, Pennsylvania to you on how to make this semester the best that you can.

Spot-lightenment
His eyes are piercing, a deep ocean of emotions. Emotions that are, at present, flowing openly in a torrent of powerful vocalization, all seemingly aimed straight at me. We make eye contact, if only for a moment. I feel his pain. I am empowered by his depth and knowledge. His strength gives me strength. He looks away, but my mind reels from that one moment. One solitary moment, a brief instant that suddenly made everything completely worthwhile.

Writer's Block or Confidence Block?
Writer’s Block. If you’ve ever had to write anything from a school assignment to something more creative, you’ve probably experienced it. But does Writer’s Block exist? I know I have felt it before, but maybe it’s not that we don’t have anything to write, but we have so much to write that we don’t know how to express it all. Maybe we are just really hard on ourselves and we don’t think the ideas we have are good enough.

Keeping the Kids Home
Ah, winter in Canada. It can be a beautiful and fun thing, but it can also wreak havoc on the school system. Depending on what region you live in and how intense the winter is, buses could be cancelled fairly often. This disrupts learning and progress for students, but it is largely unavoidable.
