Moving Forward!

Long time no talk to people! :) Well, let me see here, where do I begin? Well it's almost time for Thanksgiving break. The topic for this post is definitely community service hours!!! Community service hours are SO important!!!! Without them you cannot move on to your next semester. You must have 15 hours per semester. The thing is it is soooooooo easy to do. Becoming a First-Year Blogger (which is what I do) you get community service hours. Other ways to get community service hours are:

• Going to 10:40 Breaks
• Giving Blood
• Getting involved in whatever other opportunities NCCU offers.

Normally they will e-mail you, your instructor will inform you on it, or you will here it from word of mouth. The other important thing to remember is that even when you complete 15 hours DON'T STOP!!!! You can get as many as you can so when the next semester comes along you won't have to worry about not having enough.

From Dusk til Dawn!

Busy Busy Busy!!!

October was a busy month and now it is over. I have so much to inform you on! I believe I elaborated only a little about what I have been up to, but I was recently in Coronation. Coronation is for The "Miss" of a college. My part in it was dancing and appearing in a nice, elegant gown of which we had to choose from three colors and we participated in it. I won Miss Richmond Hall (one of the Residence halls on campus). In doing so all the Mr and Misses of each organization and residence halls were allowed to participate in Coronation, which meant

• 3 and 1 1/2 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays takin from your LIFE!!!
• Prioritizing and getting homework out of the way during the day
• bringing heels to dance in
• bracing yourself for any changes that choreographer might throw at you

If you're good at dancing it will be no problem! Coronation was awesome and yes I have pictures! Homecoming was this past week as well. I thought it was a dream when someone told me that Homecoming was the busiest week ever, but it was no dream nor a nightmare -if you have all your homework and studying out of the way! It was awesome. I wish I had gone to all of the functions, but I did not have the money to do so.

Stressful Weeks !

Never overwhelm yourself with too much!

Well it has been a hectic few weeks. I am currently balancing mid-term exams, Coronation Practice (for Homecoming), and Portfolios. When I say busy I mean busy!!!!! 
Here are some tips:

• Organize your schedule to where you have the most important things up first
• If you want to join organizations and you find you do not have enough time it will be alright, there is always next year
• As long as you are involved in at least two organizations you will never be bored
• Try not to miss class and when you do be sure to get missed work by emailing your professor, instructor, or doctor

Next blog will be on the events of Homecoming!

Aggie-Eagle Classic this WEEKEND

So much to do in so little time!

Well, it's been a little over a month since I have been at NCCU. I must say it's a lot of changes I am still adjusting to. I love how Central gives us the option to be involved, because that's mainly how you stay "busy" (for those who get bored easily like me). GET INVOLVED ! It will definitely benifit you. So what should I discuss first? Well there are many activities coming soon, such as:

• BET College Tour coming September 24, 2010 (this Friday)
• Aggie-Eagle Classic (football game Saturday)
• Family Weekend (October 8th)
• Homecoming week (later in October, details on that later)

I just cannot wait! There is so much to talk about. College keeps you busy, especially with classes and requirements. I must say one thing that is so very important to get your community service hours each semester! You need 15 per semester. The effective thing to do is to get all while you can, when you aren't busy and when you have opportunities given to you. Take what you can get and STRIVE for the rest!
