two revelations today:
1. you can easily tell which kids are here for orientation. because they look at you. some might call it staring, but they LOOK. usually i walk and i SEE people, but i dont look at them. these kids look long and hard, as if to determine if college kids are different than them. plus they often wear silly nametags or carry bags from the bookstore.
2. when you find yourself stumped on a particular homework problem, let it go. give up. then when its due just stay after and ask the professor how to do it. they will literally do it for you. then not only do you not have to worry about it when you were doing it, but you also get to know how to do it, without doing the work. plus it makes you look like a go-getter asking for extra help. by the way, this doesnt work exceptionally well if you do it too often, or come with 1 out of 10 homework problems done.
