EXTRA JOBS

CALL CENTER

• Mostly call center companies accept college students with some positions. Either part-time or full-time, we can still earn from applying to companies. Mostly companies hire 2nd year/sophomore students which is at least 18 years old.
  
• A call center is a physical place where customer and other telephone calls are handled by an organization, usually with some amount of computer automation. Typically, a call center has the ability to handle a considerable volume of calls at the same time, to screen calls and forward them to someone qualified to handle them, and to log calls.
• From experience, you are either qualified in the copy paste department or in the department where you answer calls from people.

STUDENT LIBRARIAN

• All can be a student librarian at school. Not at all a librarian but an assistant perhaps.
• Schools mostly give salaries to students who applies to become a student librarian.
• All you have to do is follow what the librarian tells you. Like arrange books in this shelf and that. Clean the table or take back all the books into its proper place.

FOOD PLACE WORKERS

• At McDonalds or any other food place, they hire students as workers. Probably a waiter/waitress perhaps. You are either assigned in the cleaning department or being a cashier perhaps.
• Students are very much welcome and are based regarding on their schedule in class and for work. It's not really easy to go to school and study.. and after that you go to work. But you can manage it if you have the right time management.
  

SOME BUMPS

Although you want to cross the road, you can't prevent some bumps to slow you from crossing that road. Don't even think about the things below. It is possible and you may even do it often, but if I were you, just don't do it frequently. You may think its fun and harmless, but hello! Think again!



Drinking - Smoking - Peer pressure

Drinking alcohol is mostly a social activity. It may also be for fun, or the thought of removing problems or so. It is also somewhat harmful to our health. The average age when youth first try alcohol is 11 years for boys and 13 years for girls. Some facts about drinking is that it may be a singular problem behavior for some, research suggests that for others it may be an expression of general adolescent turmoil that includes other problem behaviors and that these behaviors are linked to unconventionality, impulsiveness, and sensation seeking. Overall, it is a bad thing.

Smoking is simply addictive. The youth today engage in smoking because of peers, stress and other family related problems or maybe just curious. They think that it is good, but damn! It is so wrong. The effects of smoking are infinite. It makes you're teeth yellow; it causes bad breath and worse; it damages your lungs that's why smokers are prone to having lung cancer. There's no such thing as one cigarette butt or one puff. Once you tried to use one, who knows? You'll be using every single cigarette in the pack. If you're addicted to smoking, you just gotta quit. Picture your life without cigarettes. It'll help you when your cravings hit. To quit, you have to declare war on your smoking addiction. Stop smoking, start praying.

Peer pressure is when "friends" persuade you to doing something that you do not want to do. But maybe you want to do it, and you just don't have the courage to do it and your friends talk you into it. Peer Pressure can be broken down into two areas; good peer pressure and bad peer pressure. Bad peer pressure is when friends make you do something because they said so. You do have choice whether to do or not to. But because you are pressured of thinking that what may happen or what they'll think if you won't do what they say that's why you are forced to do things.

You have a CHOICE.. and it's up for you to get out of the bump and cross that road cleanly.

SOME CROSSROADS

College is sort of like a road where you try to cross it but fail. Some instances and maybe even a few people can but try to prevent yourself from trying to cross that road but actually failed.

SAILING THROUGH COLLEGE

GO TO SCHOOL, STUDY AND DON'T FORGET TO PARTAY!

During my freshman year, I sort of enjoyed what i do. Mostly three things:

1. I Go to school
2. I Study
3. I Party

And what I got from it? An experience of a lifetime. Not just fun but I still have high grades and passed every subject!

KNOW THY TEACHER

WHy do we have to know thy teacher?

Simple. Teacher, mentor, adviser, professor, lecturer, educator, trainer, guru - their seemingly extensive nomenclature suggests the diversity of their bunch. And it's their undeniable human nature that makes it so. We don't justify stereotyping, and as members of the Homo sapiens race, such right is reserved for them. No, we are not going to put them in a box. We are just providing useful information for the unwary, for lack of better terms.

INTRUCTORS

So here are the instructors that you need to watch out for.
The Storyteller

• Bring not your notebooks. You'll never need them anyway. Just listen, laugh on cue, and appear interested/ A;; for what? All for their endless rant about the best chapter of their lives. Next session will be Book Two.

The Terrorist

• They don't spring from action flicks. It's just a hobby of theirs to keep you on your toes. Behave, pay attention and do not blabber about; that is if you don't want an F written on your epitaph.

The Hollow Man

• They shed new light on the scope of the Student Handbook. Surprise! Failure Due to Absences is not only a student phenomenon.

The Troubled-Eye

• Their exam pointers never seem to point at all. Their questions will never be from your discussions. Worse, they don't come from your books either. Word of advice: Pray.

The Magician

• Their tricks are double-edged, mind you. On one side, you may get an A- when you barely passed their pop quizzes. Unlucky you if you still get a D when yours was the best project among the class. How'd they do it? Swish here.. Swish there..

The Unconvinced

• "Are you asking us?" will definitely be a frequent question. They are not so sure of their lessons that your end up not being sure of what you're learning as well. Talk about uncertainty in embodied form.

The Magi

• They give extensions, bestow projects and grant homeworks, along with other offers: short quizzes, long tests, oral exams, removals, reports and what else? Santa Claus couldn't be more generous.

The Flash

• These days when speed is a major criterion, it's not surprising to note that some don't want to be left behind. The Flashes certainly are always ahead, covering 15 chapters in an hours. And they're included in the exam tomorrow.

COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

The move to college is an experience you will find rather enjoyable. You may not find that although things are relatively familiar like in high school but not the same way. But worry not. As long as you will be yourself and will stay focused, you'll be alright.

GETTING IN THE BIG LEAGUE

ENTERING COLLEGE : Somewhat a big deal. This is your stepping stone. This is where you learn how to become real adults and where you learn to do things for yourself. Do things to earn as well. Picking the right school matters. The education counts. So better pick what suits you.

FORGETTING THE HIGH SCHOOL DAYS

NO NEED FOR SCHOOL BUSES!

As for a fact, school buses are merely for children and for high school. In college, I don't think so. Only for trips and several occasions. Even our school bus is a wreck. Check out the rims and wheels. This is the fun part of college, no need for school buses since you can drive your own car now. ",)

WELCOME TO COLLEGE

Transition stage: From High school to College


After our high school graduation, most of the minds are set to finding an institution where you enroll for college right? People get busy for enrollment and application forms and stuff, I did too way back when I graduated from high school..
