The Students' Lifestyle

1. I can't stand sleeping with shoes underneath my bed because someone once told me that I wouldn't get any sleep at night with shoes underneath my bed. 
2. My hands are mildly double jointed.
3. I generally drink juice/water after I eat my food.
4. I never fold my clothes. I just throw them in my drawers. 



Just a few of the books I sold online

I recently asked you all on Facebook how you guys made extra money. A lot you commented saying that you sold things you had among other side hustlers. I decided to take this advice and sell the one item we have the most of at my house- textbooks. By now a lot of you know that textbooks are expensive as heck and trying to sell them back to the bookstore usually isn't worth it, especially if it isn't a newer book. So I decided to take my books online to see what I could get from them.

I am pretty vocal about my love for Pretty Little Liars. Even though I admit it's one of my favorite shows, there are a lot things about the show that pisses me off or are just plain stupid. So in preparation for the season premiere, I listed a few of my pet peeves about the show below. 

Dating Your Teacher is Cool

If there is one thing I hate about college it is morning classes. Having to wake up with the sun and dragging yourself to a freezing classroom to hear a lecture is hardly how anyone wants to start their day off. Since I'm due to take another one of these this semester, it's time for me to learn how to master them. Here are my tips to making morning classes a bit easier.

Prepare before hand
This means getting all your class work and books together the day before to avoid a scramble in the morning.  This way you won't forget to bring things like pens, paper, or that essay that's due today. This also means showering and getting your look ready the day before if you need to.

Eat breakfast
You will feel so much better and more energized when you actually feed your body in the morning. Since I am not a big breakfast fan, I usually go for something light like yogurt, fruit, or hot hashbrowns and eggs.

Do your homework the night before
I know there are other procrastinators like me out there. I would always do homework assignments right before class, but that changed with my morning classes. You can't exactly do a book summary for your 10 AM class when you only woke up at 9:45. Well you could, but it'd be pretty crappy. So finish all your assignments  before the day of class

Change your sleeping habits
I don't really like this one, but it is true. Going to sleep earlier means you will most likely wake up earlier.  This will give you more time and energy for class. So you won't be snoozing during lecture, no matter how boring it is.

Time is the Essence
Most of my morning teachers happened to be jerks really strict and wanted to give quizzes at the beginning of class. So coming in five minutes late everyday meant your grade was being affected. Show your teachers you care and get your money's worth my going to class on time. It will really help your grades and your teachers will notice.

Get a friend
Sometimes you can't help but sleep through an AM class or doze off during a lecture. Make sure you have a friend who is taking the class who can catch you up with notes and other important things you may miss in class. You can also check in on each other to make sure you're both o top of your game and get to school on time.
