Whew! School is getting Stressful

Greetings! So it seems like it has been forever since I blogged. This semester has really been hectic, I feel l like I am actually in college. My professors this semester are coming at us hard with assignment after assignment. I have one exam tomorrow and another the day after. Whew! But I have found some time to blog about what’s been going on lately. My troupe recently had tryouts which went great we got a lot of new members, we also have a show coming up in April I will keep y’all posted on the progress and the dates. I hope you will attend. Find out what it is like to be a part of Bon Vivant. Oh and Lastly for those of you all that are fashion savvy and model, I encourage you to tryout fall 2010, come be part of NCCU's #1 Modeling troupe. Okay enough of that; back to business.




I have been swarmed with homework and writing assignments just yesterday I was given the assignment of reading W E B Dubois book "Souls Of Black folk" which is a 300page book and I have to write a 3-5 page summary by next Thursday. I only have a week and a half to do this assignment. WOW!! Only a short time, but hey when you are in college you get these assignments. It seems like a challenge but I am sure and determined to get this assignment done and turned in on time. Using those good organizational skills that I have I plan to read the book by Saturday and start writing on Sunday so that I am finished Tuesday, use Wednesday as an editing day and Thursday turn it in. I really hope all goes well. Seems stressful right? well i balance out that between my modeling troupe and styling hair. I style hair in my free time for various people around campus to help relieve some stress. It's just something about being creative with hair and having fun that allows you to get away from the stresses of schools. I advise that you find something to involve yourself in during your years here to help balance out the stress of school. It helps more that you think. Well that’s All I have for now, Until next time. Stay focused, I would like to leave you with a few quotes that will greatly benefit you.

The Time Has Finally Come.....

Well Happy new year to all, and what a new year it has been. So many things have been going on since the year began. So where do I begin? Classes have started back and I've noticed that they are beginning to get more difficult than they were last semester. But I am up for the challenge. I've noticed that I've joined the league of the well seasoned college student. After one semester of college I have learned a lot about the do's and don’ts of college. One important issue that I want to touch on is financial aid. Now is the time to start. I cannot stress the importance of filling out your FAFSA (link it to WWW.FAFSA.ED.GOV) and completing the last little bit of your college applications to guarantee that you will be set for the following year. For most college seniors this is one of the most important times of your life, trying to decide where to go, what you plan to study and where you plan to live. This is also an exciting time, because you are graduating and going from a young adult to a full grown independent adult. There are some things that I would like to leave with you as advice when deciding for college









1. Visit all potential schools and ask plenty of questions including the weird and unimportant questions.


2. Facebook works wonders. I would advise that you find someone that attends the school and talk with them about their experiences. This person will become a sort of mentor. I am willing to help those who ask questions.


3. Fill out your FAFSA (link it to WWW.FAFSA.ED.GOV) ASAP, and this will help you in determining if you need loans or apply more scholarships.


4. Attend any open house events as this will be a helpful experience establishing relationship with potential professors and peers.


5. Once you have committed to a college make sure all last minute paper work such as transcripts housing fees and misc. expenses that may come up.


That’s all I have for now.
