August 22-27 Featured Comment

Today's featured comment is from Monday's post Reading in College and was written by msmoonfox:

"I LOVE to read, (luckily, as an English major!) but never have the time to do any "for fun" reading during the school year in between all my assigned readings - that's why summer has been so great!"

As always, thank you to all of my readers and followers, and a special thanks to anyone who has ever left me a comment.

This Week's Featured Comments, a little belatedly

I forgot until today that I didn't post the featured comment. Today's is from Wednesday's post, Textbook Rental. Jet-Setting Divas wrote:

"amazon helped me a lot with my books! also getting books from older students! i got a few for free!"

Thank you for your feedback, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Featured Comments for Friday the 13th

This week we're featuring two comments, one useful and one funny.

The first one is by Hotcakes on the Post Things to Always Have With You:

"dont forget common sense, :) they always get left behind after a summer hang over"

The second comment is by holly on the Post Grad School:

"I have lots of thoughts and quite a bit of experience with this (I'm starting my doctorate in a few weeks), but as far as one of the beginning stages, don't let anyone convince you it's impossible to study for the GRE. I've heard from so many unmotivated people, "There's just no way to study for it. Go in there and do your best." Lies! When I was preparing for the GRE the first time, I crack a study guide a couple of times, looked at a website or two and decided to wing it. The second time, I spent several hours a week all summer writing sentences with vocabulary words, reviewing math formulas and practice equations and fine-tuning my writing. I'd recommend books by Kaplan and the site number2.com. Hope this helps!"

Thanks to all of my readers out there, especially those who shared their thoughts.

Featured Comments

In order to encourage responses and discussion on this blog, I have decided to start featuring a comment every Friday from the last week. This comment will either be one that caused the most discussion, was the most interesting, or just made some very good points or had excellent advice in it. Today's comment is not  from the last week, just because I haven't gotten any commenters this week. It was posted on the post Mary J. Blige is Going To College and was posted by meli.mtzesca. Here was her response:

"this is nice to know, my mom just walked down the aisle to receive her AA and graduated from community college & she's about to turn 64. [I was sitting right next to her, as I also graduated]


(: "

A final thank you to everyone who reads this blog and a special thank you to those who take the time to share your opinions.
