1. It’s possible to get your homework done even if you have a busy schedule - if you decide in advance what you have to do. On Sunday or Monday, jot down your activities for the upcoming week in a notebook and then include a time for homework for each day.
2. Buy a folder for each of your classes. Divide it into three sections: notes, homework, and tests. Always put papers in the correct section.
3. Forget about doing your homework in front of the TV. Find a quiet place that’s well-lit, where you can concentrate without getting distracted.
4. You won’t get any work done if you’re hungry. Your brain needs energy to work effectively! Drink plenty of water, and snack on some fruit or cookies to get more strength.
5. Begin with your best subject. Your success will give you a feeling of satisfaction that will help you deal with your weaker subjects later.
6. If you’ve started your Science homework, finish it! Don’t leave one part of your homework unfinished to start another - you may not remember all those Chemistry formulas when you come back.
7. Take at least a five-minute break when you feel tired. The rest will re-energise you so you’ll be able to finish your work.
8. Homework is rarely an exciting thing to do. But it’s your top priority, and you have to get it done. Accepting this fact will help you deal with homework effectively.

g. Graduation nerves: What do I do next?
h. Accounting: The right choice for me
1. As college graduation approaches and I prepare to enter the working world, I’ve had a hard time deciding what I should do with my life. On the one hand, I wonder: am I an entrepreneur—the sort of innovative person who could start and grow my own business? Then at other times I think: would it be better to accept a position in a large corporation and climb the ranks? As I get ready to make the transition from student to full-time employee, I find myself thinking about these questions quite often.
The good news is, I think I’ve finally got some answers.
2. I’ve always been interested in accounting and technology, and for the past year, I’ve been interning at a large telecommunications company. It’s been a great way for me to get some work experience and to see if this particular field is right for me. My internship has shown me that telecommunications isn’t really the kind of work that I want to do long term. Nevertheless, I’ve learned a lot about communicating, collaborating, and dealing with office politics3 in the workplace. I know that I’ll be able to use these skills in whatever job I do.
3. When I began my final year in college last fall, I started perusing the job postings, looking for a full-time (paying) position in accounting. At the time, I noticed job ads for all of the public accounting firms, and though I thought they were interesting,
I ignored them. I assumed they were for the December graduates. Was I ever mistaken! It turns out that they were postings for regular May graduates like me! When I realized my error, I quickly put together a resume and contacted professors for recommendations. I eventually interviewed with several companies, and within a week I’d gotten a job. I felt relieved; I had taken cafe of my future. It was November, and I wouldn’t even be starting until the following July.
4. Though I interviewed with different companies, I decided to accept a position with a large accounting firm, primarily because I’d already interned in the corporate world and wanted to gain more experience working for a large institution. Also, compared with the telecommunications company I’d been at, accounting firms employees tend to work fewer hours for more pay.
5. Why did I feel the need to get a job so quickly? Maybe I was anxious about earning an income and supporting myself after graduation, but I prefer to think I accepted the position because of what I could learn. At this point in my life, I believe that working for a large accounting firm will enable me to meet different people and utilize the skills I’ve acquired in school and during my internship. I also think it will provide me with the experience I need to grow in this field. However, once the job becomes predictable—once I stop learning and being challenged—then there won’t be any incentive for me to continue with this company. At that point, I’ll have to make some decisions about what I want to do next.
6. Ultimately, I see myself doing one of two things in life: becoming an executive6 somewhere or starting something successful on my own. Do I have lofty7 goals? Sure I do. Do I know how, when, or where I will achieve them? Not at all. For this reason, I’d rather start out at a big company and see where it leads me. Eventually, I will either develop something on my own or continue to learn and do well as an employee. In any case, I know that I’ll be given many new opportunities in my job with the accounting firm, and I’ll do my best to take advantage of those.
7. With all that said, I’m only 20 years old: I have time to make decisions. At this point, I’m reluctant to make a permanent career choice, and in reality, I may never make such a choice. In the end, I might become a corporate executive somewhere and start my own company. Whatever happens, I’m sure I'll do fine. Anyway, it’s impossible to predict the future, and so for now, I just want to see how it goes with my first job out of college.
