From Waldo: I’m looking into graduate schools. What do you think the most important things to pay attention to are? Ben says: The school’s requirements for admission. Follow their requirements for letters of recommendation, résumés, transcripts and letters of intent perfectly. You don’t want to give them a quick reason to throw you out of…

Through the Grapevine – 10/6
From Roselynn: School has completely burned me out and I’m ready for the working world, but people keep telling me that without graduate school I won’t go anywhere. Is that true? Ben says: It really depends on what your major is. If you are an art major, you don’t necessarily need a graduate degree to…
Neal’s Necessary Knowledge – Start the day on a positive note
The alarm clock pierces the still morning air with its pitiless scream and your eyes jolt open. It takes a moment to adjust to the light of the new day. You sluggishly reach out to shut off the alarm, maybe knocking an object or two from your shelves in the process. Then, as you lie…
Through the Grapevine – 9/29
From Princess: I have been following the story about Troy Davis, and my friends all thought it was right he was executed, but I feel it was wrong.

Neal’s Necessary Knowledge – Plunge into community service

Throught the Grapevine – 9/22
From Justice: I’m having a hard time staying motivated to do my homework and I don’t want to fall behind. What can I do to re-motivate myself? Ben says: I think you really just need to find something in the class that you can love, something that makes you want to do your work. Say…
Neal’s Necessary Knowledge – Allow writing to thrive in your life
Writing has the power to alter human consciousness. This is a bold statement – one famously made by author Walter Ong – but it has the evidence to back itself up. Think about how a person learns to write. It isn’t a natural process like learning to speak, which infants and small children can pick…
Through the Grapevine – 9/15
From Dusty: Do you think that it is important to be involved in campus organizations? Ben says: I think that it’s a good idea, but it’s not something you have to do. Padding on résumés and transcripts is always helpful, but usually not required by graduate schools or employers. It’s just another way to show…
Neal’s Necessary Knowledge- Five quick, easy college meals
To starve the body is to starve the mind. The brain requires all sorts of vitamins, minerals, glucose, fats and proteins in order to operate and repair itself.
