Things To Focus On as a Journalism Major

Things To Focus On as a Journalism Major To be frank, journalism is a tough job market especially now. The field is changing and positions are being eliminated. Yet, this is also one of the fields that offers a great deal of opportunities for students to take advantage of to build up their resum before they even graduate. This should be a particularly appealing concept right now since the ability to build experience in the actual workforce after graduation is dwindling before our eyes for several fields. But thankfully, there is still a lot of freedom for journalism students to get their bylines out there. The most obvious go-to is the plethora of sites out there with opportunities for students to write articles and blog posts on virtually any topic. It is typically not too difficult to get on a websites list of contributing writers and subsequently get the option to pitch and write a piece every now and then. There are endless sites out there that just rely on opinions and creativity to present such articles, but there are also many that allow student writers to stretch themselves a little more and do some real reporting on the subject of their choice. Whether you dream of writing hard-news articles or magazine features, there is a spot on the internet for you to get your words published. Many famous and well-respected news publications have created college branches online, such as USA TODAY College or Huffington Post College. With a simple Google search, you will find no end to these mediums and are guaranteed to find at least one, if not many, sites that fit your style. Also, dont f orget about freelancing. Many publications, especially ones like The Patch, give aspiring journalists in all locations the opportunity to report on and write up stories. Of course, the student newspaper is integral to a journalism majors career. This is one of the best opportunities you can make use of, as it will get your byline out there but more importantly, give you intense and direct experience in the journalism world. Many graduates who came out of student newspapers say that was where they really were able to get on their feet and learn a lot through hands-on experience. The editors of a student newspaper tend to take the operation very seriously and have high standards for their staff. Being composed of all students, this gives each and every one of you moments to shine as a responsible worker whose publication is depending on them, something that will be emphasized more than you can imagine when in the workforce. Pitching ideas, writing under tight deadlines, covering breaking news, tracking down people for interviews all of which youll be doing while youre a student with a full class schedule will teach you and prepare you better than mos t journalism classes alone will. And dont forget that if you really devote yourself, the chance to grow and take on a leadership position will come upon you. Nothing will make applying for something like a Managing Editor job at an established journal post-graduation easier than being able to say you have held that type of position already With these great notations to put on your resum, the next and final step is to land internships. Youve developed a great elevator speech already and you havent even been hired by a publication yet, so acquiring internships should be feasible. Youre so much better off than you would have been had you not gone after the aforementioned opportunities. Making sure you get as much solid internship experience as you can before graduation will really increase your chances of getting a job later on. If your hands-on experience carries over from the student newspaper into professional newsrooms, your journalism major will continue to be fulfilled in the best ways possible. If you follow this path of action, you will be doing more than studying journalism youll be living it. Isnt that what we all strive to do as soon as possible regarding our careers? A journalism student can get real live glimpses of their dream by seeing their name in print before they are even hired. They can uncover a story and get credit for it. Put your skills to use frequently enough as a student and youll be getting paid to do these things before you know it.

5 Tips to Write a Great College Application Essay

5 Tips to Write a Great College Application Essay If youre the parent of a college-bound student, you know well all that goes into the college admissions process. From taking the SAT or ACT to the researching of colleges, theres a lot to do in a relatively short amount of time. But what about the application essay? If the college to which your teen is applying requires or strongly recommends that he or she write an essay, there are a number of things your teen can do to put his or her best foot forward, saysEileen Huntington ofHuntington Learning Center. Here are five tips: Put thought into choosing the right topic. Most colleges' essay prompts are open ended, as admissions officers generally hope that students will give good thought to selecting a topic that shows who they are and what they are capable of. Encourage your teen to be authentic and introspective, to think about what he or she is proud of and passionate about as well as life experiences that have required your teen to work harder, overcome setbacks or change. Remind your teen that the goal isn't to impress the college with a laundry list of achievements, but rather, to present oneself in a way that is different than what the admissions officer would find on a transcript. Follow the directions. The essay is your teen's chance to engage in thoughtful self-expression, but it isn't the place to ramble about why a college is your teen's dream school or explore tangents about his or her life or feelings. Remind your teen to carefully read and ponder the essay prompt given by the college. Don't disregard any instructions. If there's a word count, stick to it. If specific questions are asked, be sure your teen submits something that answers them. Create a detailed outline first. Rarely do words flow together to create a compelling essay without sufficient planning. Your teen must spend time creating an outline with a beginning, middle and ending. The outline should include good examples and clearly show how the essay will move from start to finish. Before your teen starts writing, have him or her review and edit the outline if needed. Are there gaps in the story? Is the main takeaway of the essay clear from the outline? Allow plenty of time for multiple drafts. It's understandable that your teen might be focused on preparing for the SAT or ACT and narrowing down colleges and universities of interest, but it's critical to allow time to craft a well-written essayand revise it. If an application is due January 1, a sample timeline might be creating the outline by November 1, first draft by November 10, second draft by November 20 and final draft in early December. This allows your teen time to set the essay aside for a couple of weeks and read it with fresh eyes (and proofread and fine-tune if necessary). Edit like a pro. Speaking of drafts, your teen might question the suggestion that an essay requires rewriting several times. Yes, it's true. A great essay takes writing, revising and revising again. Encourage your teen to do the obviousproofread for errors and edit wordy or confusing sectionsbut a great self-editor should ask questions while reviewing as well, such as: Does the essay hook the reader from the very start? Whats the point of the essay and did I capture it effectively? Is any part of the essay too long or too rushed? Is there a clear conflict that caused me to change in some specific way or take a new path? Did I achieve the desired tone for the essay (moving or humorous, for example)? Does the voice sound and feel like me? For each and every sentence, could I say it better or more clearly? The college application essay is the chance to show an admissions officer who your teen is as a student and a personbeyond his or her transcript and test scores. Its a personal statement that should come from the heart and share with the college to which your teen is applying why he or she would be a great fit as a student there. Your teen should be sincere and articulate and remember that a colleges goal in requesting supplemental essays from applicants is to give them the chance to tell the college something about themselves. This is a powerful opportunityencourage your teen to put his or her best foot forward.

The Dynamic Brain A Fresh Outlook on Learning Potential

The Dynamic Brain A Fresh Outlook on Learning Potential Improving Academic Performance The old adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” has some interesting implications when applied to humans through the lens of something called neuroplasticity, which is essentially how malleable, dynamic and flexible the neurons (brain cells) in our brain are. This is directly related to the phenomenon of learning. Although, one must wonder when it comes to canines if sometimes the older dog truly can’t learn new tricks, or is simply just too old to care or try! For me, this raises a few questions: What is it about getting older that makes it harder for us to learn new things? Or is this just a thought put into our heads and are we perhaps not giving our magnificent brains enough credit? And what does this say about the period of time while we are young and supposedly able to “learn new tricks”? Why is it easier to learn when we are younger? Every species must learn certain skills to adapt and survive, and if put in the position where an organism, dog or human, must learn a certain skill to survive then it’s either adapt or perish, regardless of age or species. Human beings have developed a biosphere where they are no longer at threat to be randomly attacked and eaten by a saber tooth tiger or stomped on by a wooly mammoth, thus, we have the option to engage in higher learning. Research shows that the structures of our neurons are not static and stationary at any age. As we practice and refine our skills (be they related to math, languages, art, or athletics) our brains literally change inside of our heads. It is a dynamic system and the spiderweb like connection of neurons with their axons and dendrites are always in constant flux and moving. Such dynamic flexibility lasts well into the late stages of adulthood. Increased flexibility in the structure and scaffolding of our brain means higher potential to integrate new information and keep learning! In fact, Carol Dweck, a Psychologist at Stanford University and author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, has developed a theory called the Growth Mindset. She has shown that when people are simply educated about how the brain changes over time as you learn, as they begin to believe that the brain is like a muscle that grows with use, they begin to learn faster and perform better in school â€" without any other intervention (i.e., they don't receive additional tutoring, etc.). Why does this happen? It probably happens because when you believe that your brain can expand and acquire new knowledge, vs. believing your IQ and general ability to do well in school are fundamentally fixed at birth (which Dweck calls the “fixed mindset”), you engage with material in your classes in a new way. You proactively engage in an effort to expand your intelligence. This, then, leads to actual learning and the creation of new neural connections deep inside your brain. Thus, there’s hope yet for both young and old in having the capacity to keep learning new things so long as we take advantage of how beautifully fluid and dynamic the brain stays well into adulthood. Let’s take a closer look at how this actually happens… It is said that memory, the hallmark of learning, is the product of information storage through the development and preservation of an intricate distribution of brain cell connections (called a “synaptic trace”) that become imprinted through experiences (Ajemian et al., 2013). It is also said that these traces become further reinforced and stabilized through repetitive stimulation, ultimately leading to that response becoming the default pathway in the brain. Essentially, habits are hard to break. My Dad would always tell me that habits are hard to break because if you take away the “h” you’re left with “a bit” and if you took away the “a” you would still have a “bit” and finally, when you take away the “b” and you’re still left with “it”! But fear not, modern science has proposed progressive new schemas and theories that dispute the idea that once these connections between our brain cells are put into place, they become somewhat “cemented” there, thus leaving us victim to our habits. New research puts the power and the responsibility back into our hands! The new school of thought states that these connections between our brain cells are non-stationary, fluctuating arrangements that systematically produce responses or outputs that would be the same as the fixed system design (the cemented design). What does this mean? Well, first of all, it means that even though our intricate connection of brain cells are constantly moving around up there, we still get the right information to where it needs to go! That much is great news. But the better news is because they are constantly moving, they are easier to restructure and reprogram so we can build new habits, change old ones and acquire new skills! As I had mentioned, there exists a particularly sensitive period in humans as well as other species that shows a far more remarkable potential for plasticity relative to other stages in their life. This is defined as the imprinting period or the “critical period”. It is during this period that the brain rapidly process and adapts to infinite dimensions of new sensory stimuli, all of which essentially have “free range” to stimulate and imprint the vast number of highly sensitive neurons in an offspring’s brain. At this time the offspring mimics the behavior of their parents and develops crucial skills needed for interspecies communication and survival. For example, children have the remarkable ability to learn a multitude of languages. In all my years tutoring it still amazes me when I meet children that know four, five, even six languages! While adults can of course learn new languages, it tends to be much more difficult for them to do so. Thus, it is crucial during this time of high plasticity to keep children engaged and learning as to take advantage of these neurological events. Toddler or doctor, third-grader or aerospace engineers, we all have the ability to harness the plastic potential of our own brains. We have been in more control than we once thought, over the learning capacity of our own brains. The dynamical systems theory (constantly moving brain cells and their connections) provides much hope in the arena of neurodegenerative disorders as well such as Autism Spectrum Disorder. So keep your brain stimulated! About the Author Gaurav Dubey is a biology, chemistry, mathematics, and ACT/SAT tutor from Naperville, IL who has worked with MyGuru for several years.

3 Things Not To Forget When Job Hunting

3 Things Not To Forget When Job Hunting Photo by mentatdgt from Pexels Cover Letters A lot of college students applying to jobs are new to the process. You have just been introduced to the job hunt, after all. And what you might not know is how important the cover letter is (hopefully you know what a cover letter is at all!). Of course, your resume is very important, but your cover letter is the opportunity to give more detail and point out your most relevant experiences that make you not only qualified but the right person for the job. They can see job listings on your resume, but what do they know of what you actually did, of the skills you gained from the experience? Your cover letter lets them hear your voice too and get to know you a little bit to see if you might be the right fit for the job not only in term of experience but in personality as well. Make an already awesome resume really shine. Do not forget to write a cover letter and send it in, even if the job posting does not require one. Do not just send in an application. Show them that you care and that the job is important to you. Modify Details Between Applications You often have to apply to many jobs before finally landing one. This is not unique to college students but is something that everyone job hunting usually has to go through. As you are churning out application after application, cover letter after cover letter, just make sure of one thing: that you are modifying the details between your materials. What does this mean? If you write a cover letter addressed to Ms. Smith, the hiring manager at the first job you applied for, you should check and make sure that you did not leave “Dear Ms. Smith” at the top of your cover letter that you sent off to each and every job posting. You want to make sure that you modified that job title between cover letters (and even email headings!) so that you did not say that you were applying to a Front Desk Receptionist position, when only one out of three job posting you just applied for were looking for Front Desk Receptionists when instead they were looking for an Administrative Assistant. Just be vigilant of little details like that so you do not shoot yourself in the foot before they have even really looked over your material. pexels.com Neutral Surroundings A lot of jobs, rather than have you come in person for a job interview, are now doing skype interviews instead! They are a lot more serious than a simple phone interview and can better help an employer know if you are the right fit. This is especially important if you are interviewing for a job when you are not quite back in town yet (whether it I s for a job back in your hometown or a job back in your college town for when you return to school). To help make the best impression possible, make sure you are dressed professionally (the whole outfit, not just your shirt in case you have to get up for any reason). And most importantly, have a neutral background that is not distracting. How professional will it look if youre sitting in your bedroom with doll wallpaper up? Make sure you have a nice neutral background to better showcase just how professional you are and can be.

How Will AP Chemistry Help High School Students Prepare For the College Entrance Exams?

How Will AP Chemistry Help High School Students Prepare For the College Entrance Exams?At the very least, you will be better equipped to prepare for your AP Chemistry exam. After all, if you have studied and practiced so hard for a lab and then go through a summer camp, you should be able to do well on your AP exam.Of course, you will not have the luxury of a weekend off, or even a full day off, as all day and evening activities will be taking place at the facility. Therefore, you must make sure that you are physically fit. As well, the school and/or their supplies might be beyond your reach, so you should consider packing for a trip.Weather, too, will play a role in your preparation. If you live in a state where summer is already well underway, you may be free of the demands of a school schedule, but that does not mean that you will be freer from the dangers of weather. In fact, any elements that could potentially pose a risk to your health can.One of the most popular options for te sting your abilities, and possibly preparing you for your college admissions test, is a summer school. Basically, it is an accelerated, accelerated lab with a handful of chosen courses to supplement your coursework. Many high schools, as well as some local colleges, offer this type of training. You should contact the school of your choice to get details.The same holds true for a summer program for high school students. Since so many colleges look favorably on students who take AP courses, it will pay to do well. Although it may be difficult to find the time, it may not be impossible.However, it is not the only thing that you need to think about when taking the college admissions test. Also, you may wish to research any alternative schools that may be available to you. Of course, all of these institutions will probably charge money, but the money spent will not be a waste because this will definitely prepare you to get ahead in life.Many students often wonder if they will ever be abl e to pass their college entrance exams without the help of such an aptitude test. Certainly, with so many resources available, you might be surprised how simple it is to get the correct information. Make sure that you take your time and do not rush.

Examples of Chemistry in Daily Life

Examples of Chemistry in Daily LifeI would say that examples of chemistry in daily life are more important to understand than other things. You may know what these examples are but how can you put them into practical terms for you and the people you meet? I will try to get you thinking about examples of chemistry in daily life and what can be done to help change this.Many people who work in a lab may find examples of chemistry in daily life very frustrating. These things are not as easy to understand as they seem to be. The first example is a really long time, but worth the effort to understand it.I like to use a table of salt water solution, and let it sit on the table for several minutes before adding any amount of liquid (which will be the alcohol or other solvent I am using). When I have a good solvent in the solution, I can then add the water and shake the solution. Usually, when I do this, the solution is not as clear as I would like it to be, so I will add another couple of dr ops of solvent and shake again.When the solution turns clear, I will know I have used enough solvent and I am ready to add the solute. If the solution is still not clear enough, I will add another drop of solvent and continue until the solution is clear.Another time that I use examples of chemistry in daily life is when I need to make a good product. I may be working with acid, which can change the color of the solution, or in some cases, the strength of the solution, if you are working with strong solvents. When I use acid solutions, I often find that I cannot get a clear solution, and I will often add more acid to get the color/strength I want.When this happens, I will be able to add the solution one more time, and this time, I will usually add it over a small section of the solution, so I know where the problem areas are. Once I get the solution right, I will simply add another small section of solution to continue the process.As I said, examples of chemistry in everyday life are more important than many things we do in our work life. These are good examples to remember, so that whenever you need to do something, you do it using examples of chemistry in everyday life.
