I'm a little confused on what I need to do in order to get letters of recommendation. How should I go about asking someone if they are willing to write a letter for me? Also, should I pick teachers from main subjects like math or English or can I ask my art and drama teachers? #art #writing

I'm putting together an art portfolio to apply for college animation programs, and I'm wondering what I can do to make mine stand out and improve its overall quality. Also, does it matter what order you present your work in? Thanks! #art #design

I want to write for Film and TV. #writing #film #creative-writing

I want to know where to start first and who to make connections with. I feel like internships are important but I'm not sure what exactly I should be shooting for. My college is close to New York City which opens up a lot of opportunities. #film #college #career-path #writing #tv

I'm thinking of a career in the FBI. How difficult would this be?

For example, my major is going to be biology, but I can't decide whether I want my focus to be genetics, ecology, or environmental sciences. What are any tips to decide which would be best fitted for me? #college-major

#first-job Considering IVY.

Most of my courses will be STEM related... aside from a writing course, where would I go for a good public speaking course? #financial-engineering #computational-mathematics. My career goal is to work as a quantitative analyst. #math #finance

I've always wanted to be a published author. I've been writing since I was little, and now I need to get serious. How do I get organized? I don't even know where to begin. I'm beginning my final year of undergrad and have plans to go to graduate school. #college #student #author...

I've been considering an education in law for years. Ever since I was little, my family would jokingly tell me that I would be a great lawyer because of my confidence in my public speaking and my love of healthy debate. As I grow older, I still receive the same feedback but with the addition of...

Several, if not all, of the colleges I'm looking at need one or more teacher recommendation letter. What's the best way to ask? #teacher #high-school #student #recommendations #recommendation-letters

I'm stuck deciding between a few majors. How do I narrow it down? Is it better to go in undeclared? #majors #major #college-major #choosing-a-major #double-major

The music industry is a vast place, with opportunities in almost every turn. A young musician (such as myself), can easily get overwhelmed with the amount of work available in the world. Personally, I want to be as versatile as possible in the industry, being able to work in any environment to...

I understand that there are a lot of distractions when you're in an environment as large as the college setting, but I want to be prepared for what obstacles I would face as a college student. #college-advice #college #student #student-life #student-affairs #college-student

I'm upset that even as a doctorate student I won't be funded #college #higher-education #doctorate-degree #finance

I have a lot of student loans and am trying to figure out how to best pay them off while not living paycheck-to-paycheck. #studentloans

I really like a college but it is far away from my family and my home. I am worried that I will not be able to adjust. How do you know if you are ready to leave home? #college-bound

I am going into engineering. I understand that my college classes and workplace will be dominated by men. I would like to know how I can assert myself and no be intimidated. #engineering #women-in-stem

Initially, when I began taking accelerated courses --which evolved into Honors programs and AP classes-- my goal was to complete most necessary classes so that by senior year I could go home after fourth period. Now here I am, at that aspired goal of checked off credits and possessing the...

I want to go into the medical field of pharmacy --whether that's PharmD or pharmacology, I don't know yet, I know that I'm in that vicinity-- and get a good job where I can make an even better salary. But I also want to live the normal college life and not live four more years of stress-induced...

I plan to have a career in geoscience. I want to be prepared for my future career. I also wonder if a Field Camp experience is especially important to employers. #geology #geoscientist #environmental-geology #geoscience #geologist

As a senior in high school taking #graphic-design, at times making thumbnail sketches seems monotonous and time consuming. In the "real world", I assume it is emphasized.

I am a freshman Geology major and want to choose the best coursework to prepare myself for a career in geology / geoscience. #geology #geoscientist #environmental-geology ###geology

#college-transfer It is so a dainty task to transfer from one school to another with all the paperwork involved. Schools should make it easier for students to do so. They always make the transfer students feel like freshmen right out of high school instead of professional students with experience!

#college I am having difficulties balancing it all with work life, family life, and school life. I am a perfectionist and I tend to focus a lot on school leaving behind family and friend time. You know the time to socialize should be important too, but I seem not to able to do so, too little...
