Sources of Stress - Private Tutoring

Sources of Stress BobbiM Apr 3, 2014 Are you extra stressed out? Why? What is the source? Find out below: Although at times it may feel as if there are infinite sources of stress, generally college stress can be broken down into six categories: prior academic record, social influences, family, finances, career direction, and situational problems (such as illness or drug problems). Most students think that stress is caused by outside factors. They might say that a test, a professor, or a paper is stressing them out. But stress is really an internal process. Therefore, its important to have some strategies for dealing with stress in order to put your reactions to it in perspective. As you read about the six categories of stress, remember that stress is natural, it is internal, it is often an overreaction to a specific situation, and IT CAN BE CONTROLLED. 1. Prior academic record. Students who have a shaky academic past may feel that they cant succeed in college. On the other hand, students who have a 4.0 average may feel stress to keep their stellar grade point average. Either way, your past history as a learner affects your stress level. 2. Social influences. You probably have realized that dealing with your friends can often be stressful. A fight with your roommate, breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, meeting new people-all of these situations can be stressful. In fact, even situations we would consider to be positive social factors, such as falling in love or socializing with really good friends, can cause a stressful reaction. Overall, however, having good friends and social support will actually reduce your stress levels because you have someone to confide in. 3. Family. You may feel pressure to so well in college in order to make your family proud, you may feel stress because you have moved away from your family, or because of family crises that arise. But like social influences, your family can also be a source of support to help you when you experience a lot of stress. 4. Finances. Financial stress usually begins in college (and never ends!) because students take out a loan to attend college, get jobs to help pay for college, or have to maintain a certain grade point average to keep their scholarships. Many college students are also responsible for paying bills and are gaining responsibility for their financial security. In addition, college students get their own credit cards, which can lead to great financial stress if used inappropriately. We know numerous college students who graduate not only with a diploma, but also with student loans and a stack of credit card debt. All of these things can cause stress, especially for students who are handling their own finances for the first time. 5. Career direction. So whats your major? What the heck are you going to do with that? You may have heard similar comments from friends and relatives. Everyone (perhaps yourself included) wants to know what you will do with your life after college. The less sure you are about your career direction, the more stress you might feel about it. You may even be concerned that youll never find your direction. On the other hand, students who have already decide on a career might also feel stress because they are concerned about achieving their goals. 6. Situational problems. Certain stresses are unexpected and sometimes devastating. You may become ill during the term, experience the death of someone close to you, among many other things. As will all the categories of stress you feel overwhelmed by situational problems, seek help from a counselor on campus or someone you can talk to about these concerns. Whats the cause for your stress? Excerpt from  College Success Strategies  by Sherrie L. Nist and Jodi Patrick Holschuh.

When to use Someone, Anyone and No One (video and exercise)

When to use Someone, Anyone and No One (video and exercise) Someone, anyone and no one or somebody, anybody and nobody, can be confusing pronouns for English students. These, and a few other words youll see in the video below, are known as non-specific pronouns. It is very easy to accidentally use the wrong one.For instance:(Someone/Anyone) is in the bathroom.No, there is not (Someone/Anyone) in the bathroom. Has (anyone/no one) seen my dog?No, (no one/anyone) has seen your dog.(No one/everyone) is using Facebook these days, even my mother.(No one/everyone) is using Google+, its not popular yet.Is (anyone/no one) home?Yes, there is (someone/anyone) here.It seems like (everyone/someone) watched the Olympics this year.My beer is not in the refrigerator. (No one/someone) has taken it!Is (no one/anyone) going to the party?(No one/anyone) is going to the party. Lucas Guerra Great tip, ??

Top 5 Questions to Ask a Career Counselor

Top 5 Questions to Ask a Career Counselor Image via Pixabay What to Expect Before even thinking about putting together a list of every possible question that pops into your head for the career center, its important to first understand what exactly to expect during an appointment. Doing so can not only possibly answer some of the questions you may have but it can also alleviate some stresses and anxieties you might have about the appointment itself. Don’t Expect a Job, Rather Expect a Job Hunt.  Many students are under the false impression that going to a career center is an automatic guarantee of a job. While reaching out to a career center can help you find a job, it is not a lottery of job offerings with you having the lucky scratch-off ticket. With that being said, during your appointment with an advisor, expect them to help you narrow down career choices, pull out inner strengths, discover your passions and compliment those with your skills. This personal evaluation will help you figure out what kind of job you want and in a specific field. According to Richard White, the career center director at Rutgers University, “We [the career center] offer on-campus interviews, career days, e-fairs, information sessions, job postings, resume databases, open houses and special events. Don’t Expect to be Told, Rather Expect to be Shown.  It is natural to assume that going to a place like a career center that you will be told what to do, because after all, school advisors and teachers have done that in our past elementary, middle and high school lives. However, the game is different in college, and instead of being told what to do, you will be shown what to do. With this being said, do not expect an advisor to push you in a direction of a major or career path, like a parent would. It’s not their job to do that. Rather, expect them to help you find what might be a good fit for you based on your major, skills, traits and characteristics, etc. According to Peter Vogt, a Senior Contributor at Monster, “More realistically, your career center will teach you how to explore majors and careers that might be a good fit for you. The professionals at your schools career center should have both the resources and personal expertise that will help you explore majors and careers thoroughly. The career center should also have data on the jobs landed by past graduates in various majors from your school.” Remember Staff Limitations and Be Smart with Timing.  For many college students, procrastination and waiting until the very last minute to do something is basically apart of our DNA. When considering making an appointment with a career center, be responsible and considerate of your timing, meaning, do not expect to drop in and snag an appointment. Many times, advisors take walk-in appointments but this causes a disruption for their schedule for the remainder of the day. Just remember that above all, the professionals at the career center want to help you and ultimately respect you, so it is your obligation to respect them in return. Be mindful of their limitations and schedule, be responsible with your timing, and always be one step ahead of where you want to be. Doing so will always ensure you’re never behind. Image made via Canva.com Top 5 Questions to Ask A Career Counselor Now that you have a reasonable understanding of what to expect from your career center, hopefully now it won’t be as taxing or difficult to formulate a list of questions to help settle any worries or insecurities you may have. The following questions are clear, easy to follow and within the range of your advisor to answer. While there are a plethora of questions that you can ask, some that advisors may or may not be able to answer, in my opinion, these are the top five questions to ask at your career center. 1. What can I do to boost/edit my resume? One of the most important elements of the job process is your resumè. In order to stand out the best you possibly can to potential employers, be sure to constantly and consistently construct your resume. Advisors at your campus career center can definitely help you refine, polish and boost your resume to make it attractive to employers. Don’t worry about the formatting being awful, not having a good amount of experience on paper, or the whole thing just being certified ‘trashable’, it is OK if your resume is a work in progress. Advisors don’t expect you to arrive at your appointment with a perfect resume because if you did, they would partially be out of a job! According to Sarah Yoo of the Muse, “Bring a draft, or even a list of all your experiences and activitiesâ€"from your internships to  being a publicity chair in a volunteer club on-campus to spending your summers as a lifeguard. Counselors can help you craft experience descriptions that draw attention to the skills and personal qualities you have that employers are seeking.” 2. How can I make the most out of my strengths? Many college students have a hard time figuring out their strengths. According to Raymond Tang of Careermetis.com, “Plenty of graduates, job entrants and job-changers only know what they are functionally good at i.e. being good at coding, filling out balance sheets, writing content, etc. but lack the identification of soft skills that are often overlooked.” Career center counselors and advisors can help draw out these softer strengths, helping you identify the skills that you naturally possess skills that will be attractive to potential employers. Not only will advisors help you identify these skills, but they will also help you convey them to employers. Unfortunately, it is not enough just to know you have these strengths, you have to show them. 3. How can I network effectively? As technology has advanced, so has the increased presence of the job opportunities on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. During your appointment, log into social media accounts with a counselor. In order to create and build a strong social media platform, your counselor will help you clean up your accounts by suggesting which pictures, posts and comments to remove to help to make you look better in the eyes of an employer. Second, your counselor will help you search for your ideal job by suggesting using keywords on search engines, job sites and social media. You can even look for people with similar interests as you in regards to finding a job! Doing these two things can definitely help you get on track to networking, but some other advice an advisor might offer is to reach out to your professors, join club organizations, and talk to classmates! 4. What is the best job search strategy for me? It makes sense that since every one of us is different, that we would all have different approaches and strategies to searching for a job. It can be difficult to figure out this approach by yourself since you may not know what is most beneficial for you, but don’t worry, this is where an advisor comes in! Some meaningful and helpful questions to ask your counselor, Sarah Yoo notes are, “How should I allocate my search time between networking,  informational interviews, and applying for jobs? What strategies have been effective for other people applying for these types of positions?” 5. What are my next steps? Your first appointment with an advisor at the career center will be full of great tips and advice, but it will most likely need to be followed up with multiple follow-up appointments. Hence, it is important to ask your counselor what your next steps should be both during the waiting period to see them, and what to expect during your next appointment. They may want you to individually polish your resume to review in the future, or perhaps explore some fields that you may be interested in exploring jobs in. Regardless of what your next steps are, it is important to get an understanding with an advisor on the appropriate actions to take for the future! Image via Pixabay   Making the step to reach out into uncharted territories and seek out the help of a career counselor may seem scary and overwhelming at first, but I promise you that in the long run, you will not regret taking advantage of the services they provide for you. How else can you effectively learn how to harness your strengths, boost your resume, and implement a job strategy? Though it may seem possible that all of that can be accomplished independently and all on your own, it will be way easier and reasonable to seek the advice of someone who is a professional in doing so. The hardest mystery about post-college life is the uncertainty of having a secure job to fall on. Though this reality is daunting, taking a step ahead of the game and considering career options with a counselor will make post-graduation way less shocking and scary because you’ll have a good foundation of how and where to search. Always remember that regardless of who might have a job now, who might have a perfect resume, etc., everyone is a work in progress. As always, good luck!

By creating a group, you and your roommates will be able to stay connected while also keeping track of how much money is owed and who that money is owed to. Splitwise also offers email notifications to kindly remind you and your roommates of due charges. Say goodbye to awkward tension and utter financial bedlam. 2.  IOU Let’s be real. Everybody hates debt. All of us hate taking out student loans knowing we will eventually need to pay them back. The only thing worse than owing debt is owing debt to a friend, or worse, a roommate. As a student, you eventually forget how many times your roommate has picked up the tab at dinner, or treated you to a movie after a tough exam. After all, you have a ton on your plate too. However, this might pose some problems for the roommate relationship if your roommate should mistake your forgetfulness for negligence. IOU is here to save the day! The app will allow you to keep track of your debts, bills, and loans. It will send you notifications about upcoming and overdue debts should you forget. Also, it works on the flip side. Does your roommate owe you money for dinner or a movie? IOU will send email reminders to them as well, while also keeping a record of your financial history. Image via: www.pexels.com 3. Chorma Did your parents ever set up a rewards system for whatever chores you did in the house? Or, were you like me in the sense that living in a house was the reward for completing chores? Either way, Chorma is here to organize and add incentive to keeping up the pristine levels around the place. The app provides a simple and rewarding way to keep up with chores around the house. The app allows you to assign or claim responsibilities around the house and do you want to know the best part? By doing chores, you gain “Chorma” points which you can redeem for rewards! Let the roommate competition toward the cleanest and most organized space begin! 4.  Chooserr This next app is exclusively for those of you who have stellar relationships with your roommates. I’m talking SpongeBob and Patrick best friends in harmony kind of stellar. If that isn’t you and your roomie, you might want to reconsider this one. Chooserr will allow you to turn a bleak and depressing task like assigning chores and divvying up expenses and turn it into a game. The game is simple. First, you have to create the task. It could be something as simple as “Who should have control over the TV remote for the next hour?” or something as dastardly as “Who should scrub out the toilet this week?” Chooserr will pick the winner (or loser) to make sure that the results are completely unbiased. Another way to play is with “Not It!” This mode encourages a little bit of competition. First, you create the task, but the last person to press “Not It!” is the loser. The app will allow up to three friends (unlimited for $0.99!) to compete. Group chat messengers also add to the experience where you can gloat or whine about the results. Image via: www.pexels.com 5.  OurGroceries Nothing is worse than coming home from the grocery store to find that the milk has just run out, or someone drank the last sip of juice in the house. Even if this is not something you have personally experienced, anyone can agree that keeping track of groceries in a shared household can be a challenge. Fortunately for us, OurGroceries is here to bridge the gap. The app creates a single grocery list for the entire household and every member of the household has the ability to make changes to this list. Once a change is made, everyone in the household sees it. For instance, imagine that you’ve just left for class and you’ve taken the last protein bar in the box. You can use OurGroceries to indicate that the household needs more protein bars. Someone else in your household could be at the store where they will pick up more protein bars and perhaps whatever else is on the list. It’s a perfectly simple way to make sure you and your roommates have whatever you need to keep your pantry stocked.

The 7 Worst Mistakes to Make at a University Career Fair

The 7 Worst Mistakes to Make at a University Career Fair Image via Pexels Granted, college career fairs offer a great deal of potential and opportunity to their candidates, but it comes with a certain level of pressure. However, attending one can help you get the job you are looking for as soon as you graduate. Many employers are looking for apprentices or interns, which can lead to full-time employment over time. You’ll be interested to know that despite the bleak jobs report that is issued each month by the Labor Department, many companies are eager to hire. But you do have to look the part â€" not perfect â€" but presentable enough for them to actually give you a first and second look. Here are the worst mistakes to make at a university career fair and how you can avoid them. Knowing very little or nothing at all about the employer Take some time to browse and actually read the website of the company or organization that you want to work for who will be at the job fair. Research these companies. Don’t question the employer about what the company does; try to find this out on your own. And if you can, contact a few people who work at these companies to see what the work culture and their experience has been like. You can do this easily through LinkedIn. I frequently use LinkedIn to contact potential employers and/or people I’d like to work with in my field or just to ask a question and it has proven to be beneficial. This will show that you are an initiative-taker and help you understand the type of qualifications the company is looking for. Submitting a poorly developed resume (or having no resume to begin with) So you may not have a whole lot of experience just yet but you still have had some experiences that have made you who you are today. Internships, high school summer jobs, tutoring â€" all of that counts for experience and should be appropriately included on your resume. And don’t simply drop off your resume. You could have simply applied online if that was your goal. Instead, put some real effort into it. If you have no eye for design and format whatsoever, use a template. Take a minute to pull together a professional and thoroughly accurate resume that reflects you well. Get a friend, relative, or English buff from around campus to proofread it for you. Let an artsy roommate review it for a professional look. Your resume is your life on paper and you want it to look the best the first time around. Bring several copies with you to give to more than one employer. Dressing not to impress If you’re looking to work at Facebook or Twitter or any other number of Silicon-Valley based tech companies, then jeans (not torn or ripped or skinny) and a polo shirt might make you look the part and get you the job you’re looking for. On the other hand, for most any other company, business suits are the norm. If you don’t own a suit by any chance, wear something professional, not flashy. Dark pants or a skirt and a button down shirt will do the trick. Minimum jewelry, perfume sprays and makeup are in order as well. It’s a fine line to walk between professionalism and looking your best, but you want your employer to see you as the complete package, because, well, you are. Not having your spiel together Your spiel is your elevator speech. It’s how you sell yourself to your employer. Basically you’ll have around 30 seconds or less to succinctly present your qualifications. Remember it’s a job fair there are many other potential employees that the employer may want to get to, so they’re only going to give you so much time. You must carefully and purposefully develop your elevator speech. It’s like your rap: you say it passionately, almost without thinking. To do this, write a brief outline of your educational background, relevant experiences, and professional goals and/or interests. Practice it in front of a mirror or in front of your friends several times to make sure you’ve got it down pat. Failing to anticipate on-the-spot interview questions When you go to a career fair, expect employers to ask you questions. You want to prepare for this ahead of time by researching common questions that employers ask potential employees. Here are a few questions you might find directed your way: What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your specific goals in life? How have you prepared for this job or position? How would you describe yourself? How do you think you can be successful in this career? Where do you see yourself in three, five, or 10 years? Thinking about these questions ahead of time will help you to be able to carefully and quickly articulate your answers. You want to stumble across words as least as possible and certainly not come across as a deer caught in the headlights. Treating it like an actual fair Okay, I get the word “fair” doesn’t exactly put you in the mind of obtaining a good career. Since that’s the case, leave the food and drink, chewing gum and snacking at the door. Employers really could care less that you didn’t eat breakfast because you got up too late and had to get to the fair on time. Check your teeth, watch your breath, and by all means, stay off your phone. Failing to follow up This is probably the most important step to take after a career fair is over. Employers may be so swamped with resumes and interviews that you might fall off their radar, your resume could be misplaced, or they just simply never get around to calling you. You will never know unless you follow up. When you walk away from that career fair, you must have one or two or three next steps to implement. I have found it helpful that after applying for a job, sending a quick note after two weeks will usually garner a response. It also shows that you are eager to work and willing to take extra steps to see results. Many of your peers probably won’t do this, but it could be the thing that gets you hired. Whatever it is, make a plan to send an email, mail a letter, stop by the office, or call the human resources manager to follow up on your application. Better yet, send them a thank-you note  within 24 hours of the fair for taking the time to speak with you. (Thoughtfulness still goes a long way.) Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get your dream job on the first try. I’ve had several jobs and internships that were less than ideal throughout my college years. But every experience is good experience and it helps to develop you into the person you are today: stronger, smarter and well-rounded.
