Hey everyone! Its been a while since I posted! Ahh i've just been so caught up with school work and other drama going on in my life =/ But I'm back now haha
In this post, I'm going to get a bit personal. These past two weeks, I have been going through a lot of stuff with my friends and outside stuff that wasn't pleasant to deal with, to say the least. These past two weeks, I've had to deal with an ex boyfriend, my cousins coming over (Which just caused stressed because I didn't have much time to do work), and just other drama with my friends. For some reason, everything was happening all at once and it was NOT fun to deal with at all. I had trouble concentrating in school because all this "outside" stuff was just taking my attention away. I finally realized this weekend that it wasnt worth it. I had a bunch of work to do and I shouldve been focusing on this instead of worrying about my ex or having all this other useless drama come around.
Haha ANYWAY... the purpose of this post is to tell you all that even though outside stress and drama may come your way, (as hard as it seems) find a way to look on the positive side. The work your professors give, dont stop. They dont know about this stuff going on. The work just keeps coming and you shouldnt let something like useless drama get to you because it's not worth it. You are just stressing yourself out, and possibly ruining your mood. While all at the same time, work is just building up. If drama comes your way that you dont want... drop it. Dont bother with it anymore and do what I did this weekend, block it out and focus on your school work. I learned the hard way these past two weeks by constantly getting upset (thinking about stuff) and I realized, and said to myself "why the hell does this even matter? Just drop it."
This post probably seems random and out of nowhere (haha) but the point I'm trying to emphasize is, dont let small things get to you. Its never too late to learn about yourself and realize that you live your life for you. Life's what you make it, right? Dont let anyone change your life or tell you otherwise. So in conclusion, dont stress over useless stuff. You need to live your life for you and make the best of it. There's no point in working yourself up over something that DOESN'T matter, when you should be focusing on something else that does (school work--> your future). So take it easy everyone... and just drop all the unwanted drama =]
Oh yeah, remember a while back... I told you all about my experience at my first debate tournament in University of Richmond? Well, this friday... I'm leaving for Westconn for my second tournament! I'm actually REALLLLY excited because I understand the evidence more this time and I just feel more prepared. So we'll see how this tournament goes =) Until the next post, take care everyone!

Advisement Sessions/Change of Majors
Wow! It's been a while since I have updated last. College has become so hectic with homework, assignments and keeping up with reading. Things have started to get tough, and extremely tiring! The workload sometimes is more than I can handle =/
However, Spring Registration has started for those who have attended an advisement session (how time flies!). So as a reminder to all freshman, there is a block on all accounts and you will not be able to register for classes unless you attend a session. The benefit of sitting and going through with this hour and 50 minute session? Get first dibs on the classes you want at the times you want before registration opens up for the entire college on November 9th (no more complaining!). You can set up an appointment at the Advisement Office in the lobby of the N building. The sessions help to clear up a lot of questions about what classes to take next or required courses you need in order to graduate.
In the past week, I have been trying to figure out how to change my major from criminal justice to forensic psychology. After many failed attempts of standing in the long lines at One Stop or online, I was told that as an entering freshman majors can not be changed until grades come in December! Why? No idea! haha. However, if you are thinking about changing majors and want to go see an overview of classes you would be required to take you can refer to the Degree Audit on CUNY Portal. Its extremely helpful!! All you need to do is log onto http://www.cuny.edu/, log into the CUNY Portal and when the homepage opens up click on "Student Advisment/DegreeAudit (DegreeWorks)". You can view your current degree process by clicking on "View Audit" or if you would like to see what classes would be needed for different majors you can do that by clicking the "What if" button. And I say this again-its so simple and so helpful in helping you understand your degree process!
Well, until next time with some more helpful advice :)
Take care,
Farah
