From Student to Employee

Posted on by John, Uncategorized
The transition from student to employee is a different experience for everyone, but we all hope to make it. I am in my last semester at Farmingdale State College before graduating. I am going to blog about my experience during this period of transition and my process over the next few weeks. The first step is something I started working on earlier in my college experience. I will start this post by giving a definition http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/groom Groom (7) to prepare for a pos...

Posted on by Uncategorized
I hope everyone had a great time during their thanksgiving break.  It was a nice time to take a load off and relax from midterms. However, finals are fast approaching. There are many things that you could do to help prepare yourself for the impending storm, or you could just procrastinate and then cry to your professor after you see your grade (I am sorry Professor K). So why not do yourself a favor and be prepared? One great way to start (and you'll thank yourself later) is to study a little ...

Posted on by Uncategorized
Too long I have been looking like this... No more... The reality is that we live in the Northeast and while the weather is consistently beautiful in the Spring and Summer, in the Fall it does become more temperamental.

Everyone has stress, and we all have our own ways of dealing with it. Some healthy ways can be quite helpful and soothing, say, listening to music, reading a good book, or the gym (my belly looks like I'm 6 months pregnant and I am a dude). But we all deal with it.

Dorm Decorating Ideas

Posted on by Uncategorized
COLLEGE FACT:  Everyone wants to have a cool dorm! From personal experience, decorating your dorm can be overwhelming as a new student. So, don’t wait until "move-in day" to think about what to do with the four blank walls and one thread bare mattress! It’s time to start thinking of how you are going to have the best room on the hall. (more…)
