Comment on How To Go From A “Good” To A “Great” Paper by Deborah Littleton

I am not a student right now, but am a mom & writer. I would also like to suggest that you pass your paper by a trusted source (not a student in the class, but a parent or close friend) as a second set of eyes. I cannot tell you the number of times that I’ve skipped over a glaring error multiple times because your eye is just not picking it up–because it’s too new), if it’s a rushed job. An even better idea in piggy-backing on not seeing the error, is to manage your time efficiently enough to write it, and have a good amount of time to take a break from it to see those errors. When I look back at some things I’ve written, and have had a week away from it, I see things that I nearly smack my forehead over. So get your work done in bite sized chunks vs. cramming, and have someone else read it over–again, make sure it’s someone that you can trust vs. a plagiarizing classmate.

Thank you for your input on writing an essay. Just in the last few weeks I have had to several essays for Behavioral Science. The most important detail not to forget is to make sure you include everything the instructor wants in the paper. You will surely miss points rightr off the bat no matter how well written your paper is. Make sure it is in proper apa format , if that is what is ezpected, PROOFREAD your paper, and make sure your grammar and spellinf are correct. When you do research make sure you properly in-text cite your references as well as on your referenc page. I have found many erors of sentences that just do not make sense when I PROOFREAD my paper. This is how I get the maximum score possible to just make saure to follow the little things. This also will lead to a not so great paper to an exceptional one.

While I appreciate your thoughts they come from someone without much life experience. When I was started college I was going to be a music teacher. Never happened. While my love for music was reinforced my desire to teach it was absolutely killed once I started doing it. College is about more than getting ready for your career. It is a time to learn and grow and experience things that are different from what you’ve been exposed to earlier in your life.

Please research any foundation before giving money. You might like the cause…but be sure who you are giving to….uh, especially one that keeps 30% for profit.

Comment on Save Money While On Spring Break by Dick Boobarini

Hey ring queen,
your humble follower dick boobarini is back again! I just wanted to thank you for the advice for my girlfriends birthday. It was such a great success! But, valentines day was 50 times better. I often sleep over in her room but she leaves before I wake every morning. Once she left, I placed hand written notes all through her note books, in her dresser, just fun little quotes. Then she uses my car every tuesday, to go to her internship, so I made a “love” mix tape and put it on the seat. When she got back from work I made dinner and decorated the entire house. I also got her flowers of course, but not typical red roses their too cliched, so i got yellow and orange roses with a single red rose in the middle. Shes just the cutest little thing! I love spoiling her. Sorry to ramble on I thought you would like the story. But, anyway I was wondering what your feelings are on joining a fraternity. Back home in Texas fraternities are super popular but their also different. Here at temple I feel that fraternities are just glorified drinking clubs. I want the sense of connection but I’m not a party animal. Any suggestions?
your friend,
Dick

Comment on Keeping a Long Distance Relationship in College by Kasey

Young lady, I can’t believe an adult let you print this on the web! You are recommending that a student text her boyfriend all throughout the day. Get REAL!!! We parents are paying for you kids to attend college, like…go to class, do homework, and yes have a social life, but can you please focus on school work on school days?!
