One of the many things I got asked when getting ready to go to college is “why a Liberal Arts University?” for a long time I didn't even know the difference, well now I do. A Liberal Arts University is a college that offers a broad range of subjects including math, science, history, philosophy, languages, and literature. Many non-liberal arts universities only offer your basics then your straight into your major specific classes. One thing I believe is the best thing about getting a liberal arts education is you have to take a little bit of every subject.…
As the year comes to an end, all that is left is prepare for senior year and advise the incoming juniors of what to expect.

As long as they know their priorities, the incoming juniors will be able to enjoy their junior year. Me, as an incoming senior, want to take my own advice and enjoy the year while setting my priorities straight.…

In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…
College Writing And Reading For The Incoming Freshman The transition between High School and University writing can be challenging to the ill-prepared student. In high school we might have gotten great feedback from teachers about our work: “great job”, “very good” etc, but in college our professors might comment differently most likely because they are searching for something different in college writing. Most often because professors expect a different style of writing than that of a high school class, such as a more developed opinion on the subject rather than a summary of what you researched. The most significant differences are visible in structure, research, argument, and format. In college writing, we move away from the standard…

Senior year was finally here and I couldn’t wait to go to grad bash, prom and the most exciting part of the whole year, graduation. I knew I was going to enjoy the experience and love every second of it.…
It’s very good to show a high school what your positive qualities are. They like to see what you can do and why they should have you in their high school. I have a lot of positive qualities that some high schools might like. I am very competitive, When you think of competitive you might think that it’s bad but in my case it’s not. For example, when I play basketball I get really into games and I strive to win.…
