Decided after a long think through that I'm going to major in Journalism. However, my other interests I don't want to leave behind. My other three interests are:

Film Studies
Political Science
Drama

...all of which are good compliments to the journalism degree. I'm just wondering if I could not minor and pick and choose classes from all of these fields.

Young adult are affected by high prescription costs for they do not have health insurance after graduating from college, for they are no longer considered to be under their parent’s health insurance plan. Another way young people suffer from high prescription drug costs is if they decide to work after High School instead of becoming a full-time college student, leading them to receive limited to no health insurance.

And is this written correctly i am have a hard time correcting my paper tonight.

Yet, even though senior citizens have the option of getting help with Medicare Part D, senior citizens with low income are not covered under Medicare Part-D

well im 18 and i have this huge problem of what i wanna do next year. Of course, i want to start college next year,but i'm not sure where to go and how to do it. My first choice is to stay at my house here and go to community college to save money, work, and get the basic credits such as English, etc. Then when i'm done with the year or two of community college, i will go to a university outside of town. When i turn 21 and get my inheritance money (42,000), i will be able to pay back the 2 years of expensive loans for university. My second choice is to go straight to a university after high school for the 4 years. the good thing about it is i can start a new life, make new friends, and turn away from the boring life here. the bad thing is that if i go to a 4 year university i will have to pay ALOT of expensive loans back. Also, i wont have time for a job either to make money, which i desperatly need. university is also good on job applications.
p.s.- money ruins everything.

I am currently an undergraduate psych major. The course i am taking has two research reports, one due in the middle of the semester and one at the end. So there are two grades total and that's all that counts toward your final grade (50/50). Do you find that unfair? Two opportunities for grades. I'm just really frustrated with it and was wondering if you thought this was a valid frustration. Thanks.

I am a sophomore premed student studying integrative biology.

I am planning to take biochemistry which is now one of the requirements for med and dental schools, and this course starts with a digit of 4 meaning that it's generally for juniors or seniors, and it's taught in medical school. I am also trying to take physics I, which is probably sophomore level for engineers and premeds.


During my last summer term, I challenged myself to fast track and finished organic chem 1 and 2 in a single term with straight As by investing every energy and dedication I had.

I am willing to do this once again. However, I am still afraid that such course load could overwhelm me, and I might not be able to make As though I did my best.

Is biochemistry harder than organic chemistry? Do you think I should challenge myself and kick some a.s.s.? or make a modest movement by taking either biochem or physics alone and wait for the next term?

I'm a junior at a prestigious high school. I'm taking AP Spanish, honors American literature, AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, and AP US History.
I have A's and B's in all my classes except Calc and Phys.
I'm good at writing, and I want to be an English major.
However, I'm worried that I won't be able to get into a good college. See, I have a C in Calc and an F in Physics. As hard as I try, I just can't can't seem to get all the math and science stuff right. And these classes are really hard because they're college level classes, and I'm really struggling right now.
So to boil it down: I want be an English major (and hopefully never see any math or science again). I want to get into a good enough college where the English department is very good. I'm taking AP Calc and Physics, but my grades in there suck. Is there any chance that I can get into a good college even though my math and science grades suck?

okay so i am in my junior year and my guidance counselor pulled me into his office to talk about college ... i told him that i am interested in nursing, always have been and plan to go to college for that. He then told me to make a list of colleges that I would like to apply to. I want to stay in Pennsylvania for nursing school, but I don't know which schools that are well known and are good nursing schools. I am a good student and am a male. Any information you could give would be great thanks !!

For example, right now im in the 2nd decile wit a 94 gpa but i take all honors and ap courses. I know thayt there are other students with a gpa of like a 96 or even a 97 who don't even take honors or ap, yet they're better than me in rank and gpa. Will this affect my chances of competing with them? Also, top 50 percent (5th decile) has a gpa of a 90, so my grade is extreamly competitive. i just hope colleges can see this. This is also assuming that extracurricular activities are the same. Thanks

Before college, when I was trying to decide what I wanted to study in college, I narrowed down my choices to engineering and becoming a police officer. I felt like I would be happy with either one, and I picked engineering, because I really liked the concept, and it seemed like the right thing to do. Even though I picked engineering, law enforcement was still in the back of my mind, and I still thought about it often. Taking introductory engineering classes has made me realize that I would like that, but I would see it more of as a hobby than as a job. I feel you really have to be passionate about your job. Today I had the epiphany that I have to do what I feel is the right thing to do, and that means changing my major to law enforcement.

What do you think? Is it a good idea to change? How do I tell my parents that I want to change my major? I hope they will understand, since many college students end up changing their major at some point. I am a freshman in college by the way

Do I disappoint you

i am an 8th grade student that had and still is taking first year spanish for 1 1/2 quarters of the year, and well, i suck at it. i really do try hard in the class, i always pay attention, make note cards, and study for sometimes hours at end, but i still get c(s) and d(s). the first benchmark, which i can't even begin to tell you how i studied for, resulted in a 63%!!! Also, i am so annoyed that people got a 94 on the benchmark that didn't even study, that’s just not fair! I don't want to take spanish if i will keep getting bad grades because i always get a(s) or b(s), and i don't want to waste my time studying for hours while i am still receiving d(s) when i could be enjoying my youth, but i think it would be REALLY cool to know the language. Is learning spanish always so hard and so crewel grade wise because i don't think i can do this much more without some light at the end of the tunnel.
