| Another Kind of Sacrifice |
 By Michan MyerEnglish Major
I was going to write an encouraging note about the end of this season and the beginning of a new one, but that's just not what God wanted me to share. For some reason, the subject of sacrifice just won't leave my heart lately. I don't mean sacrifice like not buying a yummy strawberry, hand-spun Chic-Fil-A milkshake when you really, really want one; I'm talking about a different kind of sacrifice-ultimate sacrifice.

| "Come on! How could that be?" |
 By Ashley Andrews Opportunity seems to keep to its own time. It used to be that opportunity was never there when I wanted it. Now, after months of education and numerous quick prayers, I am now an opportune person. How is that? Well, it is all God. Recently, I had a conversation with a friend. She has long, dark curly hair. It is the kind of hair that straight hair girls (like me) would kill for. (To read full article, click here.) |
| Discovering America |
 By Dr. Carrie White
American Literature Professor
The economy is in the toilet, and the American Dream is dying, or so say television commentators. What is the American Dream anyway-when and where did it begin, and how has it changed? Most people, including the aforementioned commentators, have only a vague notion of this dream's inception and transformation. In American literature, we learn all about it. We study everything from the Pilgrims to Post-modernists, from Edward Taylor to Anne Tyler-and then some. (To read full article, click here.) |

| Study Tip: Time to Regroup, Reorganize, Rethink & Remember |
|
 Take a deep breath... You are done for the semester! Before you walk out the door for freedom and leave your papers behind, try to follow these steps to better prepare yourself for the fall:
Regroup: Gather your thoughts together about this past semester, and write down a few important notes or highlights from your experiences. What worked? What didn't?
Reorganize: Think of better ways to organize the papers and projects you want to keep and new ways to organize for the new semester. What would be more effective for you? What would be more efficient?
Rethink: Think about the habits and tendencies that aided in your success in studying as well as other areas that need to be worked on before the next semester begins. Keep the habits that worked; ditch the ones that didn't!
Remember: Prior proper planning prevents poor performance! It's never too early to get prepared!
