How to Get into a Top University

The Effect of the Pandemic
Anxiety is an emotion that is caused by overwhelming stress. It is no surprise that over half of the Oakland University community suffers from anxiety today. The stress can be caused by not enough sleep and balancing homework, extracurricular activities, and work. It is hard for a college student to focus on school work when they have to balance so many things. Oftentimes, students will turn in their work late, fail class, and/or drop out of college. There are several ways the University can help a student relieve stress while on campus. To give an example, a student can enjoy some fun activities around campus, like joining a club, going to a college event, hanging out with friends, and even partying. Students can also take a day to focus on what they need, like going to counseling, going to a medical appointment, visiting family, going to work, going to the grocery store, and even taking a day off for self care. Professors can also offer more time on assignments so that students are not overworked with class work from other classes. However, it is hard to do many of these activities during a global pandemic, and it is even hard for students that live on campus and are from a different state.

But, there are a few students that simply listen to music to help with the hardships of college, often while studying. Which begs the question, “how does music affect college students academically?". Music is a pleasant sound that helps people feel something, whether emotionally or physically. Music is something that helps bring people together. Scientifically, music is a vibration of chords mixing into a harmony. However, it has been said that listening to music can help improve memory. And from the wise words of Ludwig van Beethoven, "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

Writing About Writing My Thesis: Part 1
Just a few days ago, I submitted the first half of my thesis to be reviewed by my committee chair. I'm terrified. Not about the feedback I'll be getting; I know I'm going to get incredible feedback — that's one of the reasons I asked this faculty member to be my committee chair.
