Fall Break!
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to drop in and say that I hope everyone has an incredible fall break! I know things have been crazy lately with midterms and everything but it's finally time to take a break, go home and relax. Be safe and enjoy your time off!

Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
To be quite honest, I knew very little about Steve Jobs. Sure, I knew he was the visionary behind Apple and the iPod. I knew he must be very intelligent and creative. But I underestimated just how much Steve Jobs has impacted the world and the way I live my life. At just 56 years old, Jobs changed the way we think about and use technology forever. (Ten ways Steve Jobs changed the world:http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/technology/1110/gallery.how_steve_jobs_changed_the_world.fortune/index.html )
More than just creative and intelligent, Jobs was incredibly enlightened, insightful, and wise. I will leave you with my favorite quote of his. I feel his words do much more justice than my own
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
- Steve Jobs

Halfway Through...
Hey everyone! It's Kelsey, again. So it's getting to be about that dreaded time...midterms. But on the bright side, that means we are almost halfway done with this semester and fall break is coming up soon!
Being a first year at Carolina, getting adjusted to the way of classes and testing here has definitely been difficult and a bit overwhelming. I was still so stuck in the high school mode of things, where studying wasn't necessary and everything just came so easily. That mentality vanished pretty quickly after taking my first exam...and bombing it. This was honestly probably one of the worst feelings that I had ever had in my life. Failing a test is something that I (and most students here at Carolina) had never done before, and it definitely wasn't something I enjoyed. It did, however, hit me with a serious reality check that if I was going to get the same kind of grades that I was used to getting in high school...I was going to have to work about ten times harder and actually start studying.
And thats where the real difficulty comes in, teaching yourself how to study. I've never actually been taught a "proper way" to study so I'm still trying to figure out the best strategies for my classes and for my own personal learning style. I'm hoping to have all this figured out by the time my next test rolls around...and I also hope that all you other first years and Carolina students in general have figure it out too!
Feel free to post any study tips that you may have and share any ideas here on our blog!
Talk to you guys soon,
Kelsey
