Life Lessons: College Edition

Image result for multitaskingBeing in college has taught me many things that are useful outside the classroom. For example, I have learned how to multitask through my job as a Jag Guide. I have established leadership skills by becoming the secretary of a student organization and I gained communication skills by actively socializing with others. I have also learned how to live on my own, which I think is exciting considering you don't have to depend on your parents anymore. Anyhow, I feel that college is definitely a time for growth and you will learn many life lessons along the way.

South Serves

Hey y'all!! This week I'm going be sharing how I get involve through community service in the Mobile area. South offers an awesome website called South Serves that allows you to find community services events that fit your interest. For example, if your going into the medical field the website will tailor your search results specifically for community service events within the medical field. I have had the opportunity to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and the Ronald McDonald House. With the Habitat for Humanity I had to pleasure of helping repair a house for a family in need by, painting the walls and pulling old nails out of the window seal. With the Ronald McDonald House I was given the opportunity to prepare a meal for the families of ill children. All in all these were two awesome experiences and I highly encourage you to get involved within your community to help those in need and to improve your chances of success in your field!

A Piece of Advice

Image
As the spring semester of my freshman year comes to a close, I'd like to reflect on what I should have been doing to enhance my college experience as well as excel academically. I should have definitely been reading my textbook in order to understand what was going on in my science classes. Visiting my professors office hours and going to tutoring is essential as well if you are struggling in a class. Making study groups is EXTREMELY important because trust me..you can't do this alone. I also would have used better time management skills instead of waiting till the last minute to study for a test or write a 5 page paper. Lastly, I should have developed more relationships with my professors. Don't be afraid to visit their office hours or send them emails.  Make them get to know you because you never know where your next internship or job offer will come from. However, I had a blast this year and I hope this advice helps you succeed in the future!

Springtime Shenanigans

Image
Hello everyone, as Spring has finally arrived I'd like to share with you my favorite springtime activities. My favorite outdoor place on campus would be the Student Rec Pool. The pool is an awesome place to relax and enjoy time with friends. I've played countless games of volleyball and basketball in the water and it has been a blast. I also find it relaxing to to just lay poolside in the hammocks a read book or binge watch a TV show. My favorite off campus outdoor activity would be going to Langan Park with my friends. It's a nice throwback to the good ole days when you weren't  stressed and all you cared about was recess. It's also very refreshing to take a nice long walk and feel the cool breeze. I highly recommend these springtime activities because they are great stress relievers and lots of fun!
