Hey everyone!!!
First, I want to apologize with all of you because I haven’t had the time to post on the blog lately. The truth is that I had too much going on this semester.

As you know the semester is ALMOST OVER! This can be a good thing for those who can’t wait to enjoy their break (Ohh Yeah :) ). However, it can be ba...

Final Exam Stress: 5 Ways To Beat End Of Semester Anxiety
Its that time of year again! Yes, Winter break! But before we can get all excited and pumped for vacation, we have to get by one last stressful part of school. FINALS.

I realized, that in order to succeed and do your best, putting an insane amount of pressure on yourself, is not going to benefit you, but give you ...

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 ...

I know some people who had to stay an extra semester or longer because they did not follow these steps.

Don’t avoid Math, Embrace it!
ANYONE CAN DO WELL AT MATH!!!
Don't panic!
Your math experience was most likely shaped by how you were taught and what beliefs you have developed along the way.
In 2005, Gallup conducted a poll that asked students to name the school subject they considered to be the most difficult. Math came out to be the top. What makes math so difficult? Have you ever wondered?
For some students math comes easily, intuitively or automatically, for others it takes time and effort. But, hey, all you need is pa...

Don’t Snap Under Pressure!
It is that time of year again folks; the time when college kids start pulling all-nighters, loosing their minds and start pulling their hair out. Yes, it is midterm and final season.

1. Do not procrastinate!

Take A Look at Yourself.
Hello Farmingdale and beyond! Rammy Liv here and boy has it been a hectic week! But don’t fret my pets. I haven’t forgotten about your quote that I know you have all been waiting for. Well, here we go!
We have all been in a situation where someone (maybe even you) has said something that wasn’t very nice. Have you ever noticed, though, that most bullies just bully other people because they themselves aren’t happy with who they are as a person? They use this as a defense mechanism to protec...

Adjusting to Weather
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. Adjusting to the weather is important. I mean, it gets annoying that its cold in the morning and I wear a jacket, sweatshirt and then I start sweating in the afternoon... its not fun at all. I especially like it when all my books get wet getting caught in the rain. You should tr...
