The clock ticks life away

Alarm clock has several purposes:
  1. You wake up from sleep
  2. Put you into sleep (as long as you stared at the turning of the second hand)
  3. Give you the feeling of memories of the past
Recall my peak college, love, academic, career is not very brilliant, but very satisfied. I enjoy it , but also sad therein . Because blogs, I insignificant, become slightly less insignificant. Someone like me , I should be coveted looks of it. I hate someone , it should be ... impossible. I blog, virtually hundred reflects confidence in reality I was super-inferiority. I would hope that now there is a girl to love me, but really, if the girls fall in love with me, in fact I really do not know how to react. I love this stuff does not seem to understand. For now, I put it aside, stick my seventh law . 7:00 am to 19:00, seven days to spare, just 7 line...!

10 Tips for Saving Money in College




Need to save more during college? Here are 10 tips to help keep your bank from breaking.

College can be an expensive endeavor, even with scholarships and other kinds of financial aid. It's difficult enough balancing a class schedule -- the thought of balancing a check book, on the other hand, can strike fear into the hearts of even the most studious mathematicians. Everything from textbooks, food, transportation, supplies and entertainment -- these will all cost you money. There's no getting around it. However, there are easy ways to save. Here are several ways to avoid the constant panic of going broke:



Buy Textbooks From Used Bookstores

New textbooks from university bookstores can be very expensive. Brand new editions of chemistry books, for instance, can cost as much as $300, and that's not including any lab material. However, you can cut costs on reading materials and not starve. Look around for used bookstores. Most college campuses should have several -- the prices are heavily discounted, and book conditions are usually good. If you have enough time before classes start, check out the Internet for your books. Even with shipping charges, prices can turn out to be cheaper from online bookstores. And don't forget -- some of your friends might have taken a course in the past. Ask around and see if you can borrow from someone.
Seek Alternative Transportation
Instead of driving to class and spending money on gas, parking passes and possible tickets, look into a local bus or subway system. If the system is run by your university, you'll probably be able to ride for free with a student ID. If a transportation system doesn't exist (or the existing one isn't safe or reliable), try to work out class schedules with friends and carpool. If you're close enough, walk or bike to class and get some much-needed exercise.

Choose The Right Meal Plan
Campus meal plans vary depending on the university -- food quality, how often you eat, how much you eat, and location can all factor in. A meal plan can be a good deal, however, so do a little research and see if it's worth it. Grab a brochure; ask meal plan veterans; anything to get a little taste. Some universities offer off-campus meal plans, too. These usually involve deals with food chains, so make sure the plan is appealing to you. If you decide to skip out on a meal plan, it's possible to eat enough and eat healthy on your own budget. Cut out coupons, buy in bulk and sign up for a shopper's discount card. Be creative and plan dinners with roommates and friends instead of going to more expensive restaurants.
Set Up A Student Checking AccountATMs attract a lot of attention on campus, but it's possible to avoid unnecessary fees with a free checking and savings account.

Banks usually cater to college students by offering free checking and savings accounts, allowing you to avoid fees on withdrawals, fund transfers or the minimum amount allowed in the account. Make sure online banking is an option, as this makes it easier to follow your activity. Keep track of your account -- overdrafting will only cost you more in fees. So, do what it takes to stay out of the red as much as possible.

Get Organized
It might seem like a hassle, but saving receipts of everything you purchase -- from small items such as a candy bar or a CD, to big-ticket items like a new computer -- is a great way to monitor your spending habits. Try it out for a month. When your thirty days are up, add up all of your expenses and see where your money went. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to cut back on unnecessary spending.
Be Creative With Your Leisure TimePut down the video game controllers, go outside and get some free fresh air.Everyone needs to unwind after studying, and college campuses typically offer all sorts of opportunities -- movie theaters, bars, cafes, arts centers, parks, downtown shopping centers, et cetera. Ask if any of these places offer student discounts. You can also think of alternative ways to have a good time. If you make the right choices and use a bit of creativity, you can have fun and save money at the same time. Plan a picnic in the park; make dinner for a date instead of going to a fancy restaurant; go for a bike ride around town; play Frisbee golf on campus. Any of these activities cost a fraction of the typical college experience and can be more fun.

Find A Job
If you can fit it into your busy class schedule, a part-time job is a great way to bring in some extra income and give y ou some more flexibility with your spending. Waiting tables or delivering food can bring in great tips, and college-town restaurants are almost always looking for new help. A great way to earn some money and get some studying done is to work at your university's library. It's not a very demanding job and is usually quiet, so you can read for class and get paid at the same time.

Get The Right Cell Phone PlanIt's difficult to get by without a cell phone today, but with a little research you can find an affordable plan that fits your needs. If they're up for it, join a family cell phone plan with your parents. It's usually much cheaper for everyone involved than having separate plans. If you're on your own, check out websites that offer side-by-side comparison charts of different cell phone plans. You should also avoid text messaging. Before you know it, you could rack up hundreds of dollars worth of texts when you could have communicated the same information for much less. Remember, phone companies charge both the sender and receiver of text messages, so let you friends know if you don't want them texting you five times every class. Send out e-mails or use free networking Web sites like Myspace or Facebook.


Smart Apartment Living

If you're not living in the dorms, split the rent with a few roommates. When thinking about appliances, see if your apartment complex provides a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, a microwave, and other handy accessories. If your parents or friends have any old appliances lying around, ask them if they'd be willing to part with them. Electricity, water and heating bills can be costly, so do your best to conserve -- turn off lights when you're not in the room, use as little water as possible by taking fast showers and use the A/C and heat sparingly.
Look Out For Scholarships
If you're applying for college right now or thinking about transferring to another school, it doesn't hurt to do some research on various types of financial aid provided by the school.
Aside from the obvious chunk of cash you'll save in the long run, several scholarships offer all sorts of perks and benefits -- semester stipends, group trips, special access to useful resources, et cetera. If you're already enrolled but haven't received any aid, keep trying! If your grades are good and you show you mean business, many scholarship programs give you the opportunity to apply each semester

How do ya Taste the success @ ur college!!!


It is this time of the year that most people find themselves starting yet another year of their Graduation. Iam back at my college as well... n so I thought I better pen down this article which I would say if not get u a job , at least be helpful in some respect , so cheerz! to your new academiks n remember these...

Its not always the Grades!!
I find the students spending a hell a lot of time in the libraries, referring as many books as possible and ensuring that they have a better grip on the subject. But heyy academics and grades arent the only things that make you a person eligible for the job. Get a little experience beyond your school work, start exploring the world around you, Have a broader view...

Get involved in your Campus
As I already mentioned academics isn't the only part of your curriculum. Your campus is a better platform you can ever get. Give your best, start involving in various technical,cultural competitions ,activities ,Organize a few if possible, meet different people, share ideas and there you go....

Play a sport
All round development is quite an essential part so choose your favorite game and start playing it for a while coz ,you never know u might end up havin a career on your favorite game. Make yourself stress-free, feel refreshed!!!

Learn some parallel courses
Today's world demands a better person who not only has a knowledge about the subjects as part of his curriculum but also keeps up with the latest , has a wider view, what I actually want to tell u is if you are a student of say computer science, then you might have the subjects like programming,database,design,etc etc but you might not have a subject say Flash design , Photoshop etc , but learning these would surely be an advantage , u would be a step ahead of your pals!!

Try to do things which you are not good at
I know this sounds a bit crazy-''try doing things which u'rnt good at''. But heyy its sometimes helpful to learn new things and also the ones that you felt are 'not your kind of jobs'.Iam not asking you to master them but do have a brief idea at least so that you don't have to ...... think again!!!

Follow your Mentor/Career Councilor
Its always advised that you be in touch with your career councilor.These are the people who can guide you, position you, show you a better path.They know what you are capable of n can enhance your skills.If you find yourself thinking the people at your college’s career center are idiots, it’s probably a sign that you really, really don’t know what you’re doing.

Separate your Expectations from those of your parents
Iam not here to ask you go against your parents n stuff. Well its your career , who would better know as what you are upto and what best you can do regarding your studies. So don't just obey your parents choice. They have their own expectations but remember that its U who has to choose a career not your parents.Its you who got to live up to your expectations and otherwise you'll wake up to realize that you are not living your own life!!

Make your job search a top priority
A job does not fall in your lap, you have to chase it. Especially a good one. It’s a job to look for a job. After all you join the graduation only to have a job or a step closer to it .So make sure to stay organized,focussed, equipped, and keep a track using the online tools and job expos or whatever.....

And finally 'Define Success for Yourself'

“Society defines success very narrowly. Rather than defining success as financial gain or accolades, define it in terms of individual interests and personal happiness'

I hope these points are a worth though cant guarantee you with a job(kiddin) .
WINNERS DON'T DO DIFFERENT THINGS ,THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY!!
