Journal entry one, January 2nd (Thursday)
On Thursday morning I arrived at Heathrow airport in London. I was so excited, and ready to start off my day. I remember meeting Liz, the groups designated tour guide. She was so funny, and gave all of us very insightful information about London. Our first stop of the day was Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle is one of the many homes of the Queen. In Windsor Castle, I was able to see the St.George Cathedral, which has a very gothic style to it. What makes...

Some Holiday Prep Ideas
Holiday’s are just around the corner.
Holiday foods
After thanksgiving, the rest of the holiday season fast approaches. If you haven't already, now is the best time to start planning food for the holiday season.

The time is right, as time will become a scarce resource the closer to finals we get. If you wanted to make a holiday food n...

Finals ~ Here We Come
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?

How To Make Sure that You Graduate On Time
How many years will it take you to graduate? Do you want to actually earn your bachelor's degree in 4 years?
YES, It can be done.
