With the development of quality-oriented education, college students suffer from pressures in different aspects. I have asked many of my friends if they are having similar problems when it comes to time management, high expense, high academic standards and many of college students say that they are. Those three major areas of difficulty that college students deal with are time and energy-consuming or what’s more, it’s money-consuming. Time management the biggest difficult for time-limited college students. For example, when classmate birthday party, homework deadline and your favorite basketball competition come together, how can you make decision? What could possibly be gained? In this case, you need to balance which one is most important to you or some fibs to both friendly invitation and serious professors. You simply have no choice to impossibly reach every aspect but to bear pain to give up some of them. Consequently, you couldn’t be invited to some parties by someone who you didn’t make your promise to her. Similarly, you properly get an F in your writing because of your missed homework. Perhaps giving us your personal hobby is a reasonable decision, then you lose the right to choose what you like, finally, can’t figure out who you are? In the same way, you miss one day classes because you have a lot fun at the party last night, just as you can’t meet your girlfriend on time with a job of grad assistant on campus.
Going to college is luxurious choice, especially, our campus locates in Manhattan. When I pay tuition fee at the begin of every semester, a large sum of money moved from my debit card due to 15 credits every semester and 1300 dollars per credit. I can use this money to buy a classy car, but that’s impossible for me. Similarly, living expense also is not a small number for me. Sometimes hanging out with my friends and eating at high-level restaurant are unavoidable extra consuming, and I need to prepare a Louis Vuitton handbag for my friend who sent me a Gucci belt as gift last year. Better to send back a common scarf to her, then she may communicates with me less and less. What’s more, I need a superior suits to attend a party which required smartly dressing so that I reluctantly spend 800 dollars on this unnecessary suits. After all, I want to maintain my social cycle

Modern Farming and the way it is viewed Views and opinions are formed by how we are raised, what we experience and our education. Blake Hurst defends his life as a farmer in his article, “The Omnivore’s Delusion: Against the Anti-intellectuals”, he says that critics, like Michael Pollan and readers of his books, do not understand what it takes to farm in today’s world. Pollan’s backwards views criticize the industrial farmer while poisoning the mind of his readers against the truth of farming. Hurst…

Dear Upcoming College Student: College is way more stressful and complicated than high school. High school gives you just a little bit more freedom. Instructors are very lenient as in college whatever assignments are not complete result in a zero. In high school, parents pay all your bills; you have no worries, just go to school and get good grades. Well, I’m here to tell you high school doesn’t necessarily prepare for the stress and workload of college. I would advise you to study, use study methods…
Alcohol, when consumed in reason, can be fine. But when it is taken in great quantities it can be very detrimental to a student. Heather Wilson and Jeremy Foster wrote a perspective on drugs and alcohol in a book aimed to warn people about the dangers of alcohol and drugs. Here is there account. "During parents weekend, she, her roommate, and their parents went to her best friend's room and found her soaked in blood and tears on the dormroom floor. Heather's friend had a history of depression…
Another benefit to the dorms is the money issue. College kids do not make a lot of money if they work part-time. Money could also be tight if they decide to devote all their time to school and choose not to work. By living in the dorms, students most likely won’t spend their money on eating out. The dorms offer meal plans that cover that kind of thing with just one monthly payment. Most dining halls are open all day between meal times for those students who need to eat around their class schedules.…
First generation students can be defined as, students whose parents have no post-secondary education (Choy, 2001). The number of First-Generation students on campuses nationwide is expanding, and have become more diverse. Data from the 1980-90 Beginning Postsecondary Longitudinal Study (BPS) had been used in order to observe participation of first-generation college students in post-secondary education. This study held by the BPS is also a component of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:…

We are doing this study to find out what studying methods are better to get better grades in class. A hypothesis is a testable prediction. My hypothesis in this experimental study is that if students study for an exam/test then they will…
Why do College Students Cheat? 75%-98% percent of college students surveyed each year admits to cheating at some time in their academics (NoCheating.org). A number of college students perceive cheating as a survival tactic, rather than an intolerable and highly frowned upon method of educational survival. However, why do some college students make the compromising choice to do so? I do not believe there is a certain type of personality disorder involved when one chooses to cheat, it can be anyone…
Comparing 2 screenplays and 2 short films The two film screenplays I will compare are American Gangster and The Bourne Ultimatum. I will be analysing for factors such as motifs (recurrent themes that appear throughout the film), dramatic tension (tension built up in the screenplay) and dangling clauses (actions performed that are left to the viewer to interpret for themselves). American Gangster is a film set in the sixties, it is about a middle aged, black American gangster named Frank who…
