Currently I am going to a 2 year college to get my art degree(just an associates for own use) and my general ed out of the way.

However I was wondering about when I do change over to a 4 year college. One of my dreams is to live in Japan and possibly be a permanant english teacher there. However I was wondering if I can earn both degrees while living in Jappan.

Is this possible through loans and schalorships?

Any information, tips,etc. are welcome. I will add details to any questions that come up.

I never understood when someone asks "how come?" instead of "why?", to me it sounds wrong but I hear a lot of people using it. Just like when people also say "these ones" instead of "these". Maybe it's just me but sometimes it sounds like our language is so watered down.

Hi. I'm coming into my last year of highschool now. I want to start getting better marks at school but I'm not sure how. I have written a few Excellenance essays, but have basically just wasted time over the last four years, with talking in class and not finishing my homework. I want to kickstart my year with better study habits and quality of work, that will carry me right through the year, so I will remember everything I need to know for the final exams before I go to University. I will only have to study Art History(if I get in!), Social Studies and English.

I find it hard remembering and absorbing information, although I know I supposingly learn faster doing things visually.

Any suggestions on how I can bring my grades up to scratch next year, and do my best?

thanks!

=)

Okay, so i got in trouble today at skool cuz i didnt work properly in Industrial Tech class (woodshop). I have to type a 2 page essay, but i forgot about what! So since the teacher was mad at me, he said something about the title being "who is responsible for getting my work done" or w/e. I got this much so far, but now what?? I need TWO pages!!

Who is responsible for getting my work done?

In the Industrial Technology class as well as all my other classes, I am responsible for getting my work done. I think I have not done/tried my best at this class because I thought it was not important and it did not matter. Of course, it did matter, but I did not work as hard as I could, and instead I socialized.

Hi,

i heard it's best to go for Masters right after college, because going after a break would be hard to get into the student mode again. that's why i'm exploring all the info that i'll need to know to make an informed desicion later on.

1) if you can, please tell me if its possible to get my Masters in less than 2 years?
2) also, do you think i can get a grant/sponsor to pay for the tuition, or am i on my own? (i'd like to go to an Ivy League school, most likely Columbia University)
3) and, how high my GPA should be when i apply?

thank you in advance

PS. right now, i'm double majoring, 1st major is Media and Communication Arts with specialization in Advertising and PR, and 2nd major is International Studies

I am in my second year at coventry uni (studying psychology and criminology) I hate the course, i've made no friends and am very depressed. I am almost 100% sure a degree will in no way help me get to where i want to be in life. if i leave i don't to work some low paying dead end job for the rest of my life, but if i stay i might just shoot myself. With so many people getting degrees (most of which from a better uni) is it really worth my time and effort?
thank you for taking the time to read this!
