Earth Day is an event created to celebrate the planet’s environment and raise people’s awareness about pollution. It is held every year on April 22nd and is observed worldwide by conferences, meetings, projects and outdoor activities. The tradition was started in 1970 and had grown into a global event recognized by about 200 countries.
Devoting a special day to the Earth is a way to show how much we care about the future of our planet. There are different ways to be involved and you can choose the one that suits you best. You can plant a tree, clean up trash in your neighbourhood, make a bird feeder – the opportunities are endless. In one word, anything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on the Earth Day.
Still you shouldn’t restrict yourself to only one day in a year, therefore, learn about how you can help our planet every day.

Are you chronically late for class? Don’t worry you’re not alone! About half of students admit to rolling into class late at least once a week. In fact, there are college classes that it takes courage and energy to drag yourself to, especially if you came back home late after that cool party.
Surely, students make up different excuses for being late, and apply all imagination and creativity they have to make up really funny explanations. No doubt, your professor has already heard many of them before, so you should do your best to make your excuse interesting and fresh.
To help you, we’ve prepared a late slip with creative reasons why you are late. Just print it and give to your instructor next time you arrive late.

Today, when the Internet is rich with all kinds of data, it’s extremely easy to find content for most academic papers.
That’s awesome, but it’s not always that simple to use information from the net in your paper same time avoiding plagiarism.
But you still can do it simply following some easy steps while writing your academic paper so that it will be 100% unique.
Paraphrasing
When you need to write an academic paper on the specific subject, the first thing to do is to find as much information as you can. Next, you need to read the material and write it in your own words. Make sure you don’t copy more than 3 words in a row from the other text you have found online. If you want to literally use the same words (more than 3 words one after another), you should use quotation marks. The right use of quoting will be explained more properly further as the text goes.

Studying and personal development requires a lot of time and effort and often leads to stressful situations. ”No more homework please! I’d kill myself! I have no time!” are the complaints we can hear from an average college student.

That’s why they are always busy, short of time and hardly cope with everything at college.
However, it’s great they don’t lose enthusiasm and still keep positive attitude to their assignments.
They continue to joke about them all the time. Check out the funny quotes below to find out how college students regard their homework.

So, you’ve made it, you’re finally in college, and you’re about to start the course you’ve studied so hard for. That’s all very well and good, and by all means, pat yourself on the back, but the hard work is about to start, and no, we’re not actually talking about the studying; the hardest part of starting college is the first few days, when you’re trying to find your feet and meet new people, making or breaking your college experience and social life.
It will be exhausting at first, it will be stressful, and you will probably be nervous to the nth degree, but you know what?
Embrace it!
It’s a fine line to walk, but get it right and you will not only have the time of your life but make the whole thing much easier as a result.
You don’t want to stand out like a sore thumb as a newbie, but it’s important to know those rookie mistakes to avoid. Here’re a few pointers.

When you head off to college, you have so many decisions to make that it can be extremely daunting. Not only do you have the which college and which course decision, but you need to think about where and how you’re going to live.
If it’s your first time living away from home, this is a make or break decision, because homesickness can certainly come into play. If it’s your first living away experience, a dormitory is a good choice, however, you should certainly think about an apartment too.
Of course, both have their pros and cons, so let’s examine them both together, and see what your decision may be at the end of it.

Essay writing, it ain’t no fun.
Of course, if you’re writing about something you have a massive passion for then you could enjoy the process of getting lost in the content, but the actual structure and, of course, the deadline, could cause you some problems.
Everyone struggles when it comes to writing an essay from time to time, but there are a few tricks to follow, some guidelines if you will, which will help you put together the bones of your outline, which you can then meat out with the content you know inside out – or the content you hopefully know inside out!

And a couple of other tricks.
So here’s what you need to do:

You can’t buy happiness, this is a common saying, and the same goes for romance; you could throw cash at it, but at the end of the day, it’s the thought that really does count.
Despite this, you can’t help but feel slightly under pressure to throw out the big romance guns during the month of love, and if you feel slightly worried about the impending visit of Cupid on Valentine’s Day, here’s a few ideas to tide you over, and reassure you that cash doesn’t equal love with a capital L.
Get crafty
Receiving a gift which is handmade is without a doubt one of the most thoughtful avenues to go down. You don’t have to suddenly take up knitting and craft one of the most intricate designs going, and you don’t need to be

Let’s be honest, studying is exhausting, especially when you have deadlines, exams looming and essay writing. For that reason, it’s important to give your brain a proper rest between classes – think of it as like charging your phone, it needs extra juice! This is especially important before exams.
It’s a common fact that some foods can really boost your brain function, which means you are learning more effectively, and you’re less likely to hit that brick wall. Certain foods have a very positive effect on your brain, giving you energy, a much-needed sugar boost, and giving you more nutrition to continue onwards, without falling foul of those energy slumps which can occur when you head for unhealthy choices, such as the nearest pizza place via your mobile phone.
Think about your snacking needs and you will not only save money, which we know nobody has got an awful lot of at this stage of life, but you’ll give your brain the power it needs to continue through that study all-nighter.
