How to Pull a Successful All-Nighter

Despite the fact that my most recent post on course-notes.org discussed reasons  "why the infamous all-nighter is a terrible idea," I would like to share some advice for those of you that will, without a doubt, pull numerous all-nighters in the coming years.  

Why The Infamous All-Nighter is a Terrible Idea

So you're procrastinator... The good news, so are millions of high school and college students across the country. By all accounts, you're not unique in your inability to get ahead on assignments and more often than not, you'll be "forced" to stay up late either cramming for an exam or attempting to complete a six page paper you were assigned more than a month ago.

While it's been years since I graduated high school back in 2007, my first-hand experience with the college application process remains vivid in my mind. Between the AP courses/tests, taking the SAT/ACT and the pressures to maintain a competitive GPA, the life of an ambitious high schooler is no doubt, stressful.

Introducing Daniel Black

My name is Daniel Black and I graduated from Claremont McKenna College in May of 2011 as a dual-major in Economics and Government. I was fortunate enough to spend time working as a "Senior Interviewer" for the Admissions Office which provided me with the opportunity to interview a large number of prospective students. I know what colleges look for (and what turns them off), but more importantly, what steps you can take to distinguish yourself from the crowd.

How to Find Scholarships Using Twitter, Facebook and Zinch

Going to college can be expensive, especially after the four or five years it takes you to finish your undergraduate degree. The average American student graduates from college owing $20,000 in debt. However, there are ways to make your college experience less of a financial burden, and applying for scholarships is a fantastic way to do so.

We’re going to briefly examine what a sentence is exactly, and how it comes in different forms. Our first type of sentence is what is known as a simple sentence. This sentence contains one clause and one clause only, which can include only one word, such as “Go!” It would be a mistake to assume, however, that a simple sentence can’t be a long sentence.

One can’t tell a compound sentence, for instance, from a simple one. It’s also very important to include transitional phrases in order to link simple sentences to surrounding ones.

If you want to write the perfect thesis, you have to do your research first. Of course you'll want to research your subject thoroughly, but you'll also want to do a little research on what makes a good thesis.
