HEALTH

You may be living on campus or even living life on the go a lot. When you were younger your parents use to feed you, but now you have the privilege of doing this on your own. Well, are you doing it properly, are you eating Tim Horton’s for breakfast, Subway for lunch, and Chinese for dinner? If so you need to start going to your local grocery store buy your favorite veggies and fruits in bulk and hide your wallet for a week. No, seriously this helps you save tremendous amounts of money and even you start getting little healthier. Our generation Y, has been so technology base we never walk anymore, do you remember the last time you rode a bike? Or question is do you know how to ride a bike?

Here are some tips:
 Get some sleep, no more all nighters; they don’t even work, meaning the side effects.
 Make sure you have a very comfortable sleeping environment , no sleeping with bright lights , television on , or your room mates love quarrels’ in your ears
 Go to the doctors once in awhile , it wouldn’t hurt
 Walk sometimes, if there is something that you do usually and is close by, take a walk. Stay active.
 Try and fit some veggies in to your life, bring some to class while in a lecture, while studying can even, at a house party, and you can even have some of your favorite dips with it, fruits too.
 Plan out your meals , go to the grocery store for only one day a week and plan out your breakfast, lunch , dinners , and snack , also buy whatever is on the list don’t go over board when you run into the Pepsi sale
 Try and cook once in awhile , your technology savvy find a recipe online , and make it to your liking add – in and take out anything that you don’t like
 Stop having so much coffee in one day , it actually sometimes takes about eight hours to leave your system

HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS BUT NO EXPERIENCE

When your leaving college you have all the courses , terminology , even the anticipation to get right into you career field , you have only been dreaming about it since what ? like maybe the whole four years of school right?
The hard part is landing that job , actually convincing someone “hey , I went to school for like my whole life , I have diplomas , and degrees for this industry , BUT no real world experience , or a paid position , but do you mind hiring me , over that 30 year old guy out there with 10 years experience ?”
This is the most fearful part unless you’re lucky enough to know someone who will guarantee you a job right after graduation. School counselors and Profs Say don’t worry about loans at least for six months later, we will give you time so you can find employment. Here are some steps to better establish a career after graduation.

Step 1: Make a resume even if you have no experience in this field, but you may have had a part-time position working at the deli, or at a grocery store. Explain in details the parts that are relevant to your field, and leave out the parts that aren’t. You see you don’t even have to lie!

Step 2: “This is a very dangerous step, unless you have the funds. “Since you’re in the school mind frame and learning or even not in school why not volunteer fine an internship that is flexible to your time and not too much of it. Tell them you just need a approximately 90 hours of work, and you want it to help build your resume. Who knows you can get references and network. Doesn’t hurt to try what’s the worst their going to do? Say NO! They probably would not anyways, maybe in a nicer way. 

Step3: I know you have a social media account such as : Twitter , MySpace , face book , plenty of fish , msn , aol and etc. these are all social media sites , might as well put up a twitter saying “ looking for a job.” If you don’t put it up there who is going to help. Basically,this step is networking you just have a chat with someone with the same similartties as you. If they can’t help you now at least you know they will keep you mind in the future.

Step 4: I know many of you may be on the web searching craigslist for jobs … DON’T ! For goodness sakes. Not craigslist, unless you want to be a canvasser. Here are some sites if you must use the internet , first things first , try your school career website , than workoplosis , monster , career bridge . there are 1000’s of people who are applying for jobs online daily , so it’s basically a 1/million situation here . Why not going in for information sessions with people who you could really see yourself working for . Going in the physical place show intuitive. Since no one is coming to you ;why not you go to them. I know this seems very time consuming , but it shows you really go the extra mile. Also, trying the online websites try looking for career sites based on helping students finding entry level positions such as career bridge.org , or collegegrad.com. These sites are based on helping student find employers who are willing and able to take them.

Step 5 : If you are out of employment and you are seeing the bills come more than money , maybe you should go into a employment agency and keep applying to jobs don’t stop , there will be something great for you around the corner , its just stuck in between the cracks.

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
Have you been in school for like “EVER” , well no literally but it may seem like it , I know you may not believe but there is honestly light at the end of the tunnel . I can honestly say that  , and I’m in this position where I’m working full-time , going to school full time and trying to balance off my social life. Sometimes I feel like I just have no time to breath but I can honestly say that it will work out with all the fear of actually succeeding you will see these times as the best time of our lives. Yeah right, that’s what my mother says though.
I obviously don’t mean go to school and get just the minimum pass and your set for life. school is just a stepping stone , or just maybe a few miles into the dark tunnel , staying healthy , positive mind set , and even just smiling will honestly manifest so many things you put your mind too – pun intended .I find that myself I have no time to even have a social life , and god knows even a relationship , but even if you just stop smel the roses for heaven’s sake , and stop living by a agenda for once , you’ll be happy and realizes the quicker you finish school(with good grades); the quicker you can get what you are striving for. So good luck and im just here to remind you that this will all be worth it at the end.
If you , or you know anyone who actually  made a success after going to school be free to share and shed some light on some doubtful students. J

RELETIONSHIPS OR ME

Well the college life involves school, exams, midterms, and even relationships. you make friends that would probably last for the rest of your life , friends that have great links to opportunities , friends you just add on your face book to make your list look more charismatic . What about those friendships that you do and die for? what do you do when you feel as if you are giving too much , receiving too little and you start realizing your  list of priorities are diminishing because of that one person , who you care "SO" much for.

I can actually say I have experienced this before, but oh well this isn’t about me. It’s about knowing the balance between caring for you affirmations, and being there for others in a relationship there is always that one person who feels like they are left behind, or just being brighten on a lovely ride of their partner’s great journey to success. How do you make this a two car ride right beside each other?

First thing is dating is like research you are trying to find someone to accommodate you, and you both compliment each other. You don’t need to take care of anyone else, unless family, husband /wife, or a partner. So that was simple you are not taking care of boyfriend, or girlfriend. Especially if you are in a bad finical situation or, for needless to say they can accommodate themselves; but there is well given exceptions to also helping them. Another thing to really think about is, is there really any time to have a boyfriend, or girlfriend. Ask your self are you giving up on anything that is really important to you to maintain the relationship. It usually is better to actually be with someone when you are in a comfortable place in your life, and NOT being comforted by theirs.
The answer to the question of me or the other person is obviously you?
If you start seeing that you’re procrastinating, or even if you start coming up with excuses to stop doing things you like. It is possible that you are not focusing on you anymore.

The right desicion for you ! ( not your parents )

Coming straight from high school, people usually just jump in to a certain study just to make the parents feel secure that their child has moved up the ladder to a career, and another step out the house.
So rest assures, you are not alone.                       
Don’t be stressed , most likely you should just apply for any program you enjoy, see how that works out than switch the program if you don’t like it.
The toughest decision of them all is MONEY VS. HAPPINES.
I knew a girl who really wanted to get into the PR industry , but with her religion and her strict parents she is now going for a bachelors of science. She isn’t happy with her program feels as if she is working too hard to pay for school  that she doesn’t even want.
Now  these situations are really hard to get around and what do you do , when its either you make good money , in a field you hate , or be happy with a sacrifice that is dear to you.
The best thing to do is make a list ( yes , physical work) . Than weight out the good and bad picture yourself when you are done the program , working in your field , who are you surrounded by ( family , friends , a partner), how did you get there, what are the concrete steps for  must take to get to your goal. After answering these question things should be clear to you.
These are all things that I would subjectively do . in other words , there is always that talk to your parents , and  do what you have to do with or without their permission , but if all the money you have is tied to them , find a job , get OSAP , loans , etc." when there is a will  there’s a way". If you don’t want to get a job , or find other substitutes to doing what you believe is the right path for you  I’m sorry to say you don’t want what it is that badly.
