Desk Tour 2014!

Here is my desk tour!

You can find the desk here. Right now it is $109.88 but I think I got it when it was on sale. I think the company that sells these desks changed the way you assemble them. You don't really have to screw anything in which is go so that the would doesn't split. I found with my past two desks which were from the same company the wood would always split somewhere so hopefully all the furniture they sell is like this desk! I highly recommend this desk!



You can find the chair here. This chair sells for $54.83. I think it is a great deal for a comfortable chair. It was also fairly easy to assemble.



You can find the bookcase here. I've had this bookcase for maybe two years now and its about to fall apart. It sells for $35 on Walmart. But keep in mind it is not the most durable bookcase. I used to move my room around ALL THE TIME which caused the bookcase to start falling apart. So if you get this bookcase and leave it in one place its a great bookcase!

A+ Notes!

Now that I am a sophomore in college I have found the technique that works for me so I decided to share how I write my notes.

There are many different methods to take notes and to organize them. I like to keep a 1 subject notebook for each class. I also color code my classes so it is easy to find the notebook I need. Here is an example of a how I would take notes in a notebook. I like to put a label on the notebook instead of writing on the notebook itself so for any reason I could take of the label if I needed to. I also prefer college ruled than wide ruled notebooks.

The first page of the notebook I dedicate it to a Contents page. This is were I can see what chapter notes are on what pages (this is an example that is why I only have Chapter 1). I would also write below the Chapter 1 what exam these notes will be useful for.

This the way I set up my notes. I put the chapter in the right hand corner. I put the main title at the top of the page. I then put the section tile and highlight that in yellow. Subsections are highlighted in pink. Vocab words are underlined.

At the end of the page on the right hand corner mark what page number it is. So when you are finished taking note from the chapter and you end on page 4 of your notebook you would go to your contents page and write that in. So then you would know Chapter 1 notes are on pages 1-4.

I hope this gave you some inspiration. It definitely keeps me organized and it also keeps me interested in studying since it is easy to read.

Getting Your First Job!

Here I will give you some tips to land you your first job and tips to be successful! I got my first job at my college I attend. I was a Student Clerical Assistant in the Human Resource and Pay Roll Office. It was a nice job and looks great on my resume.

1. Interview Ready!

When the job you applied for asks you to come in for an interview make sure you have an appropriate outfit. You should wear something office appropriate even if it is a fast food restaurant you are applying to. This will make you look professional. I would suggest a nice shirt that isn't revealing with a blazer and some pants or a nice dress that again isn't revealing. Before the interview print a copy of your resume and cover letter and put it in a folder to bring with you. Also make sure you have your ID and your social security card (if you have one).

2.  Manners

Always talk politely and professionally with your future or current coworkers.

3.  Learn the Duties

Go over all the duties you have to do on day-to-day bases. Make sure to listen closely to those who are trying to teach you. When I worked in the office I asked for a sheet on how to correctly answer and use the phones. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!

4. Late or missed days

Always call your supervisor if you are going to be late or out for the day.

5. Keep a planner!

Planners are essential to being organized. Write when you are working so you never miss a day.
