Tips. Tips. Tiiiiiiips!

Good day, classmates! As a college student, I know that it's hard for us to think of effective ways of studying. Most of us will just read and scan our notes, right? Since our final exam in English 1 is coming, I would like to share this site with all of you. This site contains tips that could help us in studying our lessons. These tips are applicable not only in English 1, but also in all of our academic subjects.

Implications of Text Language

Nowadays, everyone has a Facebook account, a Twitter account, and other social networking accounts. These sites helped him/her to communicate with other people, and to find new friends. On the other hand, these sites also create language usage problem since many people are fond of text language. Most of us are using "r" to express "are", "bcoz" to denote "because", and other shortcut form words. Moreover, social networking sites contribute to poorer writing skills since one is misusing the language.

I got the idea from this website:

Archetypes

Hello there! I'm actually searching sites for our group paper in psych when I realized I haven't yet posted on the blog, so I decided to share to you our topic. Our topic is about Carl Jung's Behavioral Psychoanalytic Approach. In his approach, Jung said that the personality of a person is mostly based on archetypes. What are archetypes? An archetype is a universally understood symbol, term, or a pattern of behavior, a prototype upon which others are copied, patterned. an example of an archetype is a meme, it is an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture. I found a site that contains funny memes.

Seeing Emily

Have you ever encountered a book written in verses? I do. The book is entitled Seeing Emily. It was written by Joyce Lee Wong. The author used free verses in order for her to deliver her piece. Actually, it is my first time to encounter such work. When I saw the book, I did not think twice to buy it, because I think there are only a few authors who write using verses. Hope that you can read or can encounter such works in the future.

I found this article on the internet entitled "The Sleep Equation", and this quote caught my attention: "School, studying, social life... the college student's struggle for sleep". I found it interesting to read; Literally, it is what we feel right now, we struggle for sleep.
