Handling Long Distance Relationships

One of the worst things that have ever happened to me is having a long distance relationship when I didn’t know how to handle it. I joined campus three years ago at a time when I was dating a very beautiful young lady from my home area. I had met and fallen in love with her in the summer immediately after my high school education and we had promised to be with each other for life.

            Unfortunately for us we were selected to join different colleges and as you would expect that wasn’t a very nice thing for our young relationship. We tried keeping in touch through phone calls and visiting each other once in a while but at the end of the day it was mutually decided that things weren’t working out and we had to sadly part ways. It was then that I decided that long distance relationships weren’t things for me, as much as it is something that had been hyped and spoken of by people in glowing terms.

            Having said that it has however not escaped my sharp mind that long distance relationships actually work in some instances, but the fact of the matter is that they have to be handled with care and that will never change. There must be concerted effort on the part of both parties if it so happens that the relationship has to work. There are really no two ways about it, and that may never change. Total focus and commitment and focus to the relationship must be applied by both lovers if it has to work. 

Tips for your spanish essay writing

Besides the difference in language, Spanish essays are similar to English essays. That is in regards to their structure, components and organization. The beauty of a Spanish essay lies in the language used. Therefore, it is easier to improve your Spanish language skills when writing it.

So how do you write a remarkable Spanish Essay? Initially, organize your thoughts. This is the simplest way to starting-off a Spanish essay. Just create an outline, with all your thoughts and ideas, and voila! Furthermore, select a style for your essay – if faced with an option that is.

Come up with the first draft of your essay. After organizing and structuring all your ideas, it becomes even much simpler to clearly write an essay draft. However, it is imperative that you ensure your essay has all the components (five paragraphs) in place.

Once that is done, print the draft then go through it loudly. The reason for doing this is to make certain that all your sentences are well-written. Spanish, unlike the English language, has longer sentences – which are more indirect and flowery. Thus choose better word choices, to replace any long sentences, using a Spanish-English dictionary.

Correct any grammatical errors as well as spellings. The Spanish language has a good number of special words with accents. Now that poses as a big challenge. If not thoroughly observed and corrected when necessary, words with accents can really affect a student’s grade.

Resolve any sentence structure issues. To easily pull this off, use a Spanish grammar book. Not only will it ease up your work, but you will also learn that the most difficult grammatical element – for many Spanish language students – is the subjunctive form of structuring a Spanish sentence. Thereafter, write your final draft. And get a native to proofread your essay.

Tips for Getting Student Loans

Paying for college is not a walk in the park. Ask any college student. Scholarships, grants and savings – to many – do not necessarily cover all your costs. And working, for long hours, does not help either as it will just hurt your grades. That is when student loans come in handy. But how exactly do you get a fair deal when shopping for a loan?

It is prudent to first start with the safest loans. And nothing could scream better than federal loans. Start there. Here is why; with federal loans you are guaranteed of a borrower protection – it helps when you have financial problems. Or better still, if you are currently unemployed.

The beauty with federal loans is that their interest rates do not change with time. Also, they are not in any way affected by your credit rating. How suitable is that! Within the federal loans they are subsidized and unsubsidized loans, which are both affordable and convenient. Choose wisely.

There are also private student loans. These are a lot riskier than the aforementioned loans, as they do not have borrower protections. Be aware, the loans are said to have rates, which are small but grow bigger with time. Their interest’s costs can also surpass whatever you borrowed earlier.

Another important tip is to shop around for loans. Your school might recommend that you borrow from a preferred lender. Try to find out reasons for doing so. Get to understand the lender’s full terms and conditions – of what they have to offer prior to making any commitments.

Find out what are the lenders discount options. Will the options remain in place even after the loan is sold out to another company? Such questions are crucial. Private loans can prove hard and tricky to compare. As the real terms of the loan are not made visible until you have signed for it. They are hidden in print. Be wise.

Tired

            I am a very busy campus student who never seems to have enough of sleep. When I was in high school, I used to look forward to the time when I would be able to relax: when I joined campus. In my estimation at the time I used to think that in campus there is no pressure as it was in high school. In my book campus was the place where students had fun and there was no struggle at all for anything. When I joined campus I however realized that the opposite was in effect true. Getting tired and what have you was even more pronounced than I thought.

            I was appointed to be the class representative-CR in short-of my class and what this meant was that I turned out to be the busiest student in my class. I was forced to do things to do with ensuring my class was attending classes on time, informing all my classmates whenever the lecturers communicated to me that they won’t be making it to class at certain times and so on. At the start of my second semester in campus I landed a job as an essay writer in an essay writing firm right in the town where my campus was situated.

            What I didn’t know at the time was that my life had just been turned into a living hell. There was so much I had to do as regards to juggling between my classwork responsibilities and the writing part-time job I had been given. I used to get to my room at about midnight every day and it was tiring to say the least. By the end of six months I was all in and I basically couldn’t take it anymore. I quit my duty as a CR but I still felt tired at the end of the day. I guess getting tired is part and parcel of campus life.

Necessary Lies

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

            I don’t know if you have ever made this startling discovery that some things are not always what they seem to be. A very good example is what children are often told by their parents when the children want to know where their youngest sibling-most likely the one who has just been born-has come from. Most parents, or at least my parents, tell their kids that the babies that in truth have just been born have been bought or something as random as that. Of course in most cases the kids always find out by themselves as they grow older the true state of the matter, but at that tender age it was necessary that the parents lie.

            In campus, there are also very many instances when lies are necessary. It is not part of my business to convince you that you need to lie because some lies are necessary; on the converse, my task is just to inform you that there is indeed something called necessary lies, and that may never change. At the beginning of last week I found myself in a situation where I had to lie in order that my life is spared. I was walking back to campus at about eleven in the night from the essay writing firm where I work as a lead essay editor when I was suddenly lifted by two ruffians from behind. 

            They demanded money from me but I didn’t have any money on me at the time. I only had my ATM card; they couldn’t let me go without receiving money from me. I convinced them to walk with me up and until the campus premises where there was an ATM machine. Against their better judgment they consented to my suggestion, not knowing that I had lied to them so that I could save my skin. When we got to campus I knew they would be a security officer at the ATM machine; he arrested them. Some lies are indeed necessary.

Betrayal

            We all adore our friends, appreciate them and treasure them too. Friends are amazing, they make life worthwhile. They offer a shoulder to lean on; they wipe our tears and comfort us when we are down. Friends help each other in everything, including achieving their goals and dreams in life. They form good essay writing group members, write the best essays, challenge each other academically and we would name it till morning. I like thinking of the other side of the coin especially after seeing it happen in colleges. Betrayal among friends is not a new thing in society; it has been there before our grandparents’ times. We all have to accept it happens after sunrise and after sunset. It is painful to be betrayed by your close friend. Your friend turns out to be your enemy.  They are supposed to be family and now they turn out to be snakes in the closet.

            It is very disappointing and at first one wonders what to do. The questions, do I hate her, revenge, call her all sorts of names or anything keep crossing your mind. These are the person you hugged and appreciated through a text message or sent them a box of chocolate yesterday and here they are turning their backs on you.

            How do you handle this situation? The first step is to relax and allow things to cool down .Avoid acting on impulse and make things worse. Then approach them like a gentle lady and enquire why they did whatever they did and don’t be tempted to exchange bad words and petty fights. The world will not know who the fool is at that point. We are all human and we must be at loggerheads once in a while .Weigh it out and avoid being biased and make sound judgment.

Attitude

            There are so many words and phrases that have been used to describe people; arrogant, ignorant, egocentric, proud, you name it. A lot of us will call this a personality or a character, but I strongly believe it all come in a name of an attitude that develops from personal feelings and perception. Attitude has been believed to be a very essential and crucial trait to have. A negative assertiveness brings forth nothing but misfortunes and disconnections amongst the people. I don’t believe in communism but, never has and never will. I have confidence in doing my stuff individually; struggle alone and enjoy the success alone.

            As an essay writer, however, I have learnt that it’s important to strip down the ego and the perception of life because I have realized that compromise is the best thing to possess. This includes accepting oneself for who you are, your weaknesses, and appreciate others for their strengths and mutually embrace each other. Essay writing involves diversity and it goes without saying that you need one another to make a difference. The only place where you find vast diversity is in the universities. How many of you agree with the statement, ‘monotony results to boredom’? The target readers need a variety of topics to read from. The writer as well will acquire popularity according to their diversity in their topics.

            Students on the same consideration need each other in their studies. I am in a group of six in the class of civil engineering. We come from different regions and cultures and again we were all the best students in the respective high schools. It’s ok if everyone chose to be on their own and do personal studies, but we have kept our history away and pooled our efforts together. I must say with the compromises we have made, we really can talk much about it.
