What do you do if you’re just not happy with your course?

This is a topic that I haven’t really seen discussed among studyblrs, and I would have liked a post like this when I was going through this; so I thought I’d make a post in case any of you are struggling with the same things I did.

There can be quite a few reasons that you might want to drop out, but make sure you know what the problem is so you can weight out the solutions.

The classes aren’t what you expected. Maybe you went for a psychology degree but you’ve realised that the subject just doesn’t interest you as much as you thought. Or maybe you didn’t get your first choice and you’re stuck in a subject that you really don’t feel passionate about. Maybe the classes are too big or too small or you don’t enjoy the way things are taught. 

The university isn’t what you expected. This was a major factor for me - I expected something completely different, and I was surprised by how much the university resembled high school.

The classes are too difficult. If this is one of the major reasons that you’re contemplating dropping out of college, seek help first. Pretty much all students feel like they’re drowning in work 24/7, so speaking to other students about this, organising your work in a way that suits you and talking to your professors will be a huge help.

You’re just not cut out for college life. This is possible; a lot of people don’t feel comfortable with the pressures and academic aspect of university, even if they thought that they would enjoy it. Chances are, if you didn’t have a good high school experience, you may find it hard to continue the whole teaching/learning thing in adulthood. If you’ve really checked in with yourself and realised that college isn’t for you, then that’s perfectly fine. It isn’t for everyone, and you can still have a fantastic life without a college degree.

It’s too expensive. Maybe you went into college thinking that you could handle the debt, but you see it accumulating and you don’t think that the experience you’re having is worth all that money, or maybe your loan application got rejected halfway through your first term (which happened to me). You should talk to your university’s financial advisers before making any decisions, and look into grants and scholarships for the upcoming years if you haven’t already.

You want to do something else. If you’ve just started a philosophy degree and realised halfway through your first lecture that you’re destined to be a carpenter, follow your goddamn dreams dude. Bear in mind that you can always get your philosophy degree and then study carpentry afterwards, but if you feel like you’re getting a philosophy degree for no reason then yeah, consider dropping out.

Of course there are countless other reasons that you may be unhappy at university, but you have to be sure that the reason for your unhappiness isn’t easily fixed by talking to your tutor, or just getting away from it all for a while. I asked myself these questions repeatedly:

What is it about college that isn’t working?

Is there a solution that doesn’t involve dropping out?

Is being in college affecting your mental health?

How have you benefited from being there?

Why did you decide to do this in the first place?

What aspects of college do you enjoy? Are you ready to give those up?

Would you be happier in a different course (or a different school)?

Have you discussed the problem with your friends and family?

Is there another path that seems more appealing?

If something about college just doesn’t feel right, and you know it isn’t going to get better with time, then trust your instincts. Life is far too short to be stuck doing something that you don’t want to be doing. That may sound simplistic, but trust me, I’m now sure that dropping out of the college that I was in was the right decision. REMEMBER - dropping out does NOT mean you’re a failure. It means that you were brave enough to make this huge decision about your future and your happiness; it’s a very courageous thing to do.

How do you go about dropping out?

Life/School Hack

If you have a short amount of time to read a book for school, and you can’t seem to focus on it. Look up the audio book on YouTube, put it on 1.25 or 1.5 speed, and follow along in your book while taking notes and marking pages when necessary. This has honestly saved my life while reading The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Into the Wild, The Great Gatsby, and currently The Awakening.

a) SIMILARITIES

both designed to declare belief in Christianity

both contain similar verses - “I believe in God, the Father almighty(…) On the third day He rose again(…) He ascended into heaven(…)”

DIFFERENCES 

the Nicene creed is longer than the Apostle’s creed as words were added in as a response to new heresy

More beliefs are added in the Nicene creed, such as the four marks of the Church and belief in one baptism.

b) FIVE BELIEFS FOUND IN BOTH CREEDS:

[APO] I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth / [NIC] We believe in one God, the Father almighty, the maker of Heaven and Earth

[APO] I believe in Jesus Christ, his Son, our Lord / [NIC] And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the begotten God of the Father

[APO] He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary / [NIC] was born perfectly of the Holy Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit

[APO] He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried / [NIC]  He suffered, was crucified, was buried

[APO]  On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, / [NIC]   rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven with the same body

That took forever lol what an awful topic. Hope this helps! x

Y’all jsyk this blog is still up and running if there’s homework you’re behind on...

[homeworkforu]

i do art and visual communications and i was wondering how i analyse things like tshirt designs, posters, logos and fonts ( for musicians and bands) and album covers.

This is sort of a vaguely phrased question, but here’s a vague response -

Typical visual elements in a logo design would be layout, shape, colour, composition, and typeface. You can create interesting properties by mixing the elements in creative ways. Most logos are of low complexity, high balance and exhibit a minor degree of repetition. These are things you could look at to draw your analysis, what combination of layout/shape/colour/typeface is used and what reaction it is supposed to provoke. 

Maybe send us an example?

Grade 12 World Religions

the question is:

In one or two paragraphs, identify two ways in which Hinduism has provided spiritual guidance to the West.

its due May 5th (tomorrow) at 1:30 please & thanks help me out!

Hinduism has provided spiritual guidance to the West in many forms - both in its historical significance in Western history and its appearance in modern fads. A lot of Bhagavad Gita, which is part of a purana from around 5,000BC, closely resembles the verses of Jesus Christ in the Bible (x). Nowadays, vegan/vegetarianism, nonviolent ethics, yoga, and meditation have all gained increasing popularity in the West, often influenced by Hare Krishna culture indirectly, if not even directly. Western people are realising the spiritual benefit of these practices, and often incorporate moral and philosophical yogic scriptures into their daily lives. -AJ

Due by 5/5/16 A chord is 6 centimetres long. It is 15 centimetres from the centre of the circle. What is the radius of the circle?

So if you draw a circle + a chord 15 centimeters away and 6 centimeters long, you’ll have the 15 centimeter line extending from the center of the chord back to the center of the circle. So you can draw a right triangle with the distance from the chord to the center of the circle, the center of the circle to the intersection of the chord with the circumference of the circle, and then back along the chord. 

use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the “hypotenuse” of the triangle, which also happens to be the radius of the circle.

3^2 + 15^2 = x^2

9 + 225 = x^2

x^2 = 234

Hypotenuse = sqrt(234).

One chemistry question!

DUE: By 4/30/2016

1. 

A calorimeter contains 500 g of water at 25°C. You place a hand warmer containing 100 g of liquid sodium acetate (NaAC) inside the calorimeter. When the sodium acetate finishes crystallizing, the temperature of the water inside the calorimeter is 32.2°C. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g-°C. What is the enthalpy of fusion (ΔHf) of the sodium acetate? Show your work.

We’re looking for the enthalpy of fusion of sodium acetate, basically how much energy is released as heat during the state change of solid to liquid (melting). Here, we have passage from liquid to solid (freezing/crystallizing), so we’ll just reverse the sign of our result. Now we’re considering that the hand warmer has zero volume, and transfers all the heat to the water without otherwise influencing temperature.

The enthalpy of fusion will be presented in J/g (joules per gram) here (representing how much heat is absorbed/released for 1 gram of NaOAc during state change) => ΔHf. Now here we have 100g of NaOAc, so the enthalpy of fusion for the current sample is  ΔHf(NaOAc) = 100 *  ΔHf. Simple enough. Now we know that the water isn’t undergoing any transformations of any type (between 25°C and 32.2°C) so the difference in enthalpy of the ENTIRE SYSTEM before and after the crystallisation of the NaOAc is entirely from the hand warmer. So ΔHf(NaOAc) = ΔHf(H2O).  Let’s study the enthalpy change in the water: Now, we know that over a given system,  ΔH(H2O) = s m  ΔT. Let’s spread this out: ΔH(H2O) = s m (T2 - T1)   =>   ΔH(H2O) = 4.18 * 500 * (25 - 32.2) = -15048 J. As we said previously,  ΔH(H2O) =  ΔHf(NaOAc) = 100 * ΔHf => ΔHf = -15048/100 So ΔHf = -15 J/g.

This is negative, meaning the sodium acetate lost energy and spread it to its surroundings, meaning it was an exothermic reaction. Cool, that works out. Oh, but this is the crystallization we’re studying, we need the enthalpy of fusion. Ok, so that wasn’t actually the ΔHf, we have to flip the sign to get it: ΔHf = 15 J/g.

A few little things about this question; first this seems a bit funny to me, the question leaves a lot of assumptions to the student (hand warmer having 0 volume etc), and normally I’d NEVER work in degrees celsius rather than kelvin for heat calculations (in fact that’s the 1st time I’ve seen a specific heat in degrees celsius). But my chemistry knowledge does come from a uni in Europe so maybe things are taught differently elsewhere. Plus, in this case it has no impact on the calculations.

Also, I presented this so as to aid comprehension of the subject, it may be a bit verbose to submit directly as homework. If you want to get the final positive result directly, swap the temperatures T2 and T1. Up to you to cut out other unnecessary sentences :)

Assessment Instructions

For this assignment, you are going to choose a famous couple from the list below and write a humorous sonnet that one of these individuals would send to the other.

You may write your sonnet with sincerity and affection, or if you are feeling clever or cynical, you may write a parody. A parody uses the form of the original to poke fun. For this assignment, you would write your parody in sonnet form but employ techniques like hyperbole, understatement, or irony to mock the love poem genre, the idea of love in general, or some dynamic of your chosen couple’s relationship. Look at another writer's Parody of Sonnet 18 to see if you would like to try it. The choice is yours!

I chose Bonnie and Clyde 

These sort of assignments are straight up hard ‘cause it’s asking me to create art and that’s a matter of personal taste, but I’ll give it a shot.

I didn’t expect, on that Winter’s day, I would find you stealing my mother’s car, That I would uproot and run away, That we would hold hands, and I’d run too far Every day when I woke we would begin, Sinning and running, then sinning again, Yet for some reason I felt comfort in sin, The press of the blade and the pop of the skin;

The money is nothing, it’s a getaway prize, Like the speed of my heart and the screech of the clutch, Another surge of adrenaline when I look in your eyes, When your violent hands have the softest touch. I have finally loved with the whole of my heart, In sickness, in health, ‘til death do us part.

Lmao it’s 2am and this isn’t great but I did your homework for you so hey! I hope it’s good enough. I know it isn’t a parody sonnet but I don’t want to make fun of love or sonnets because...I like both of those things leave them alone why is school so cynical. This is a 14 line sonnet so even though it’s kinda corny it should fit the bill. Good luck! x

Chemical Reactions and Energy

Due: Today Time: Anytime 12th

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

A scientist heats a piece of iron until it is glowing white–hot. He places the metal inside a metal box. He removes all of the air from the inside of the box. After a few seconds, the sides of the box that are not touching the metal begin to feel warm. Which process is most likely responsible for the warming?

A. convection

B.convection

C.current radiation 

D.evaporation

Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

A scientist is studying a previously unknown chemical reaction. She concludes that it is exothermic. What must the scientist have observed?

A. The reaction released heat. 

B.The reaction formed a gas. 

C,The reaction sped up when a catalyst was added. 

D.The reaction caused the container to get cold.

Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

Which of the following best explains why most chemical reactions proceed more quickly when the concentrations of reactants are increased?

A. The increased concentration increases the number of collisions between molecules. 

B.The products of chemical reactions are more stable at higher concentrations.

C. At higher concentrations, reactant molecules move more quickly. 

D.At higher concentrations, product molecules are able to catalyze the reaction.

@bbluesummers

1) C. IDK why there are two "convections" but I'm pretty sure one is convection and one is conduction. Convection is heat transfer between fluids, like if you mixed boiling water and room temperature water together, you'd eventually end up with lukewarm water. Conduction is heat transfer between solids, like when you use a hot plate to heat up food. Radiation is when something just gives off energy in the form of light (generally infrared light), and that works in all sitautions, even in a vaccum, which is what this scenario is. Evaporation is when a solid turns into a liquid and has nothing to do with this.

2) A. an exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat, so it must be A. Reactions forming a gas means nothing, all reactions speed up when catalysts are added by definition, and if a reaction causes the container to get cold then the reaction requires heat and it's exothermic.

3) A. higher concentrations of reactions mean more molecules of reactants per total molecules. A reaction is basically two relevant molecules colliding and changing, so the more molecules there are in the same space the more reactions there are. Chemical reactions are not necessarily more stable in higher concentrations, and stability in chemistry terms doesn't really have anything to do with this. The speed at which molecules moves has to do with temperature and not with concentration at all.
