General Discussion / Re: The Front Porch
« on: March 28, 2013, 05:04:05 PM »Nice to hear from you Anistorm.my parents said the same thing but they wanted to me not worry about work and just study, study, study for the next 4 years instead. That's a good thing you should balance work with classes which is why I admire what you're doing. Unless you're aiming for grad school, entry level employers don't look into GPA too much but work and internship experience/involvement on campus. I would worry about classes but don't worry too much about getting A's..as long as you can pull a 3.0 that's enough. Unfortunately, I wish I had known that last year because all I did was study and that's it. And these classes were all general ed classes. I wish I could've built my resume with internship experience which I hope to do next year. I am looking for summer internships right now and all of them I find are in NYC, which is too far from home and I cannot afford housing in NY for the internship, so I'm stuck in a dead-end situation :/ Grades and degree matter, but experience matters so both are important. If it's too much for you to handle, look into lightening your courseload.
I'm curious to know what some of you guys think about working while in college. I'm taking difficult classes, but my parents/stepparents keep insisting that I find work, but I'm not sure I can emotionally handle work on top of a full load of college classes. I've had part-time work experience before, but I really had a hard time studying and all after I had to work in the past because I'd be exhausted. Been a controversial topic at home... I see myself being independent in maybe two years once I graduate and all, but I'm not ready to support myself and be a successful full-time college student at the same time.
Because of the topic title, I thought you were talking about the show on ABC Primetime. Google is your friend 
, but I did catch it the second time that it did it. 
I am wanting springtime thunderstorms, but the cold and stable air keeps ruining it. There's a chance south of me tonight and then tomorrow, a cold north wind and more subfreezing temperatures tomorrow night, Monday night and Tuesday night, with no more 60s until next Thursday.
