Saying goodbye to the holidays can be challenging. The time off is gone, the family and friends have all scooted back to their respective homes.
Can you believe its 2010??? Where did this last decade go? The 1999 scare for the big new millennium ushered in the year 2000, I remember what I was doing, but that’s a conversation for another time. The years have spun their way in and out of our lives, leaving both the good and bad in its wake, but what we have to show for it in our own personal development and who we are is what counts.
Here’s a little about my last decade.

The Good:
Like all of us I’ve seen some great things over the past 10 years, for me a career change, a graduate degree, a giant move to California, a wedding to a simply envious man. (It’s funny when you don’t think of all the details sometimes; somehow, someone seems to think of them for you.)
I married an amazingly talented artist in music, traditional art, interior design, graphic design, who happens to be a damn good cook, sorry couldn’t think of anything except that phrase to describe his cooking. Oh and the stupendous part is that this is only half his talents, I love taking him to anyone’s house, he blends right in. He’s the ultimate entertainer, business man, and friend. The best part is that we work so well together.
 

The Bad:
But the past century wasn’t without its losses, I lost a number of close friends and family members during this past decade the closest being my favorite, yet sophisticated and astounding grandmother.

She was what I think every woman strives to be,  extraordinary. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, business woman, entrepreneur, handy woman, farmer, and much more and that’s just for starters.

She passed very suddenly a few years ago her love, generosity and warmth are missed by all. I’ve never ever heard anyone say anything bad about her, and that’s quite an accomplishment if you ask me.

The key to success as a college student is to have a great resource list.

So I put the best resource list together just for you.

Ask for a study guide for what’s on the exam and then pull up this resource guide to walk you through the tough spots.
Especially if you are looking for keys to what might be on the entrance exam.

The Ugly, Just kidding.The number one area most of my students have needed help with is in the area of math. I can hear the moans now. I know for me this was a particularly tough subject. I was happy for any help I could get. So here’s to your success in a New Year.
