...folder spelling out “Admitted” made me thrilled to see what the future has in store for me. I could not believe this was happening, especially having three older sisters going to college before me. I never knew it could come so fast. Then I realized… what am I going to pack for college, what will my major be, how can I budget and save my money, and who will my roommate be?...

...room, the electricity, balcony, and they almost share all the equipment except their own beds. It is not convenient for college students who have a lot of free time and have different classes or things . In my opinion, college students should have more freedom to live off campus, but it should close the campus. Living off campus make us more independent. They need to taken care of by parents at home and by roommates at dormitory. I think it is difficult for us to be independent for a teenager, but we can not escape and no one will take care ourself forever. One of a new college student rose to fame in the Internet because of his 14 boxes of luggage. He was called "Well Prepared Brother".His parents doted on him so that they prepared almost everything for him. I wonder how he can be independent and take care of himself. In dormitory, his roommates had to help him. I think he should carry normal luggage and live off campus, and learn to take care of himself by himself. We must consider everything by ourselves when we live off campus, and only by this way can learn how to independent. Tara Bryant, one of the student at the University of Kansas said “ Now I’m about to start my junior year, and just moved into an apartment that’s actually closer to my classes than Hashinger Hall was.” From Tara’s experience, she think it not necessarily live on campus if students live close to campus. She live off campus but now she even closer to her classes, it more convenient than dormitory...

...the IT professional codes of ethics. Part One: “What Would You Do?” – Situation 1 Even though my relationship with my old roommate is important to me, I would not be able to put in a good word or get his resume into the “right hands.” I would be lying at my job (a place that I worked hard to even get into) and that could get me into a lot of trouble if the company realized that he does not actually have the knowledge he says he does. Here’s exactly what happened. My old college roommate got let go from his job and has asked me to help him become an employee at the company I work for. I told him that I have no problem putting in a good word and getting his resume in the “right hands” but then I saw his resume. The problem is that he greatly exaggerated pretty much everything single thing on his resume and expects me to not tell my boss that he actually does not have the knowledge he says he does so that he could get the job. There are a lot of people who can be put into harms way if I were to lie for my old college roommate. Those who are directly affected by this problem include me, my old roommate from college, the entire company I work for, my coworkers, and my boss. This problem would cause a lot of issues at my workplace if he were to get the job and mess up because he actually does not know how to do all the things he said he knew how to do on his resume. If I were to keep my mouth shut about him...

...from home, because you’ve had enough of your parents bossing you around, and you might be excited about being in a new area. You might’ve lived in the same town your whole life and needed something new, but then you get nervous about your roommates. You start thinking of whether you’ll like them or not, or if you’ll get along with them, or even if you’ll be friends; so you start going through your head the different types of roommates you can get; the quiet person, the slob, or the party animal. Quiet people are never really fun and most of the time keep to themselves. You would think that they usually never come out of their room; maybe to only go to classes, but that’s really it. Some, or even most quiet people are the most mysterious or even the most interesting people you’d ever meet. Some can have a lot of friends, and go out and do stuff...

...for applying for financial aid to complete. After the packets of paperwork for admissions and for financial aid are completed there is still the long drawn out process of waiting for a response from the student’s college of choice to contact them to let them know if they have been accepted into the school and if they have been approved for financial aid. Each day that the potential student has to wait seems like an eternity, and their stress level rises steadily with each passing day. When the letter does finally come in the mail and student does get accepted it feels as if a huge load has been lifted off of the student’s shoulders. But this stress is soon replaced by another even more stressful complication. The next huge stress factor is how will the school be paid for now that the student has been accepted?...

...relations in America, whilst exhibiting the reality that racial inequality is still alive and well throughout the nation. Griffin provides readers with a genuine understanding of how these two impressive black women have their history used to increase or decrease to their popular standing. Griffin presents that today’s society is not post-racial; although, race and racism function differently than ever before. Legal barriers that discriminated against people of colour have been removed, yet one would be inaccurate to state that racism is extinct. White supremacy is slowly disappearing, “but white supremacy is an old man who will not go gently into that good night” (Griffin). Due to the...

...Personal Mission Statement Section One: My Role in My Education At this moment in time, I have recently completed my first session at DeVry University towards my Health Information Technology degree. In five years from now, I will hope to have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and have some great experience working from home performing Medical Billing and Coding. I would also like to be moving towards pursing my CPA license. Using both educational degrees, I hope to be successful in both the office and at home as well as inspiring others to further educate themselves. Life would be uneventful if it ran perfectly without a few hurdles to jump here and there along the way. Time and money management are two very important factors to being successful and are also two subjects that happen to be budgeted very tightly. At this time, I am working full time at a lower rate of pay, leaving my bi-weekly income still low along with less time for school. With this type of schedule, I normally have two days off a week and my evening/nights available for school work, house chores, dinner, shopping, and any other errands or extracurricular activities. Should my time not be managed correctly, some of my weekly activities may get missed causing them to build up upon one another leading to stress. When I begin to stress and worry about things not getting completed, some tasks don’t get my all or completed to its fullest trying to work on everything all at once. Doing so could show...

...University Ground Floor Ignatius Hall x4473 www.wju.edu/arc How Do I Write a Cause-Effect Essay? Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and since your composition grade hangs in the balance, the ARC’s advice is to accept it enthusiastically), is to write a cause-effect essay. You’ll need a thesis, of course, but before you can develop one, you’ll need to establish a few cause-effect parameters. 1. What effect or effects will you be analyzing in the essay? 2. What causal chain leads to the effect? 3. What primary cause (also known as the main cause, or necessary cause, or first cause) is the basis for the causal chain, and thus, the basis for the effect? (It’s imperative to establish a causal chain, but it’s not enough. There can be more than one chain; there can be more than one effect; but there should only be one primary cause.) 4. What relationship will you be trying to establish between cause and effect (your topic), and why (your thesis) ? Causes ü First, of course, there is the primary cause. This is the necessary cause without which the effect could not occur; it’s the first link in any causal chains that follows. ü Then there are the sufficient causes, which by themselves might produce the effect you’ve chosen to discuss in your paper, yet still find their root farther back along the chain in the primary cause. Example: Say that your topic is the causes for the effect of roommate feuds. • Contributing causes might be sloppiness, bad music, and...

...ISSUES 1. There is the stress of making a good adjustment because students believe their future depends upon their doing well. Did they make the right choice? How can they be sure? Should they change courses, direction, major? Putting choices into a longer-term perspective is useful. There are many people on campus that can assist them in making decisions: professors, peers, and College staff. 2. Some students will be homesick, missing their family, friends, and pets. They will miss old routines and structures. 3. Students may be ambivalent about dependence and independence. Some will openly ask for parent support and others won’t tell parents important details. Parents need to ask their adolescent how they are doing without prying too much – while also being accessible and open. 4. The school may not live up to the expectations set by the brochures and admissions counselors. Rarely does an admissions pamphlet tell all about the ins and outs, and the limits and shortcomings of a place. ACADEMICS 5. The work is hard and some students may experience their first low grades. Most students have done well in high school. Some high school courses are not as demanding as college. A student has to learn a particular professor’s expectations and style of grading. 6. Students will be expected to maintain their own schedules and develop good study habits. There is no one around to force the student to study, to go to class, or to get a good night’s sleep. Students have to create a structure...

...time for them to be independent (Wyatt, 2008). They will have to come out with an important decision which undergoes a significant stage by choosing where to stay or live during their entire university life. They can either choose to stay in hostel or live at home. Hostel living is a place which provides university students a temporary space after they had left their comfort home. Home living provides them a caring and loving environment which they will never get from the societies. University students should be matured enough to measure the pros and cons of either staying in hostel or living at home. Most of them prefer to have their own path as they assume that they no longer under parents’ supervision. In order to be independent, to enjoy social life and to gain freedom, hostel living is better compared to home living for university students. Hostel living enables university students to be independent compared to home living. University students learn to handle his or her finances because one has to pay hostel mess bills. They have to consider the usage of electricity and water because they are sharing the bills with their housemates or roommates. When they exceed the limit of usage, they will probably be complained by their housemates or roommates. On the other hand, university students do not have to worry about their finances because their parents will settle it for them when they are at home (http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic63107.html). Besides, university...

...Asian Social Science October, 2008 A Cross-cultural Study of Daily Communication between Chinese and American -- From the Perspective of High Context and Low Context Jianeng Wang Foreign Languages College, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou 310018, China E-mail: jianeng101@163.com Abstract In cross-cultural communication, ignorance of contexts usually leads to misunderstanding and conflicts. Based on Edward. T. Hall’s notion of high-context and low-context, this paper aims to generalize the basic distinctive characteristics of the two contexts by analyzing the actual cases in daily communication between American and Chinese. This paper also tries to conclude some tips for communication crossing the two contexts in accordance with the case analysis. Keywords: High-context, Low-context, Communicatio, Culture 1. About Hall’s high-context and low-context Context is important in all communication, but it is relatively more important in some situations than in others. There are also significant differences across cultures in the ways and the extent to which people communicate through context. One of the main distinctions between cultures has been the notion of high and low context cultures, proposed by the American anthropologies Edward. T. Hall in his 1976 classic, Beyond Culture (Hall, 2000). 1.1 What is high/low-context? Edward T. Hall has described cultural differences in the use of language and context in communication. He calls communication that occurs mostly through...
