“If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.”
....Prevents lot of confusion and heartacheWhat's the best advice you've gotten or the best quote you've heard?
The world is always full of surprises and answers of each and every question. For no one knows all that is to be spoken like a book. For your family is always be there for you.
From the present to the past, there cant be any thing wrong. You can't hide your past nor the truth, For you will always feel that someone, somewhere will figure out the truth.

Can you give me advice about switching to the Art History major?
I'm entering my junior year of college and I am considering switching my current major (anthropology) to the art history major. I really don't know why I continued to take courses in anthropology but I realize that the major is just not for me. I haven't taken any art history courses yet but I feel that I would be more interested in the art history major than my current one. I am thinking about taking 3 art history courses this fall semester to get a head start on completing the major requirments. There are 10 courses required for the AH major and I want to graduate on time. I am thinking of doing a study abroad in Italy in the spring so I should be able to transfer 2+ credits to the major.
***My question is: Do you think the switch is feasible and wise? Also, what kind of assignments should I expect to have as an art history major. Essay topics?*****Can you give me advice about switching to the Art History major?
absolutely! art history and anthropology are actually related in many ways. art historians have, in the past few decades, borrowed quite a few theoretical concepts from anthropology. conceptually speaking, if you are at all familiar with cultural anthropology, you should have no problem integrating yourself into your new major. now, in terms of what can be expected:
1. if you haven't taken any art history classes, you should start off by taking what is generally referred to as a ';survey'; class. this is the class where you do ancient to renaissance and then renaissance to modern (usually divided into two different semsters at most universities). if you've never taken art history before, it's a good idea to take a survey. it will allow you to figure out what period you find the most compelling and should help you decide what more advanced classes you want to take. you can expect a fair amount of memorization in the survey level class. if this sounds less than thrilling, let me just tell you that it is a bit essential that you have a standard working knowledge about works of art that used to be called ';masterpieces.'; art history is no longer the same as art appreciation, but you do need to be aware of what the canonical works of art are.
2. after you get the survey classes out of the way (most art history majors require you take these, and for good reason), you can move on to more specialized, higher level classes. you will be asked to look at works of art in their proper historical context. you will be learning about the history of cultures and ideas through art. you can expect to have some in class exam taking (short answer or essay format) and you will learn how to write a term paper.
hope this helps.Can you give me advice about switching to the Art History major?
jobwise i dont know what work opportunities you will find in the anthropo;ogy major.
History majors is not for everyone. It has ALOT of reading and memorization. jobwise history major ( in canada) ususally end up teaching (schools colleges universities) or getting a job in the museum.
i took 1 history elective ( canadian history 1001) and had to write 3 report 5 to 10 pages. your must be a good report writer to be able to succeed in history major.
as for me there is no chance i can manage a history major since my english is quite weak.
i think you should think wisely about what you are planning to do in the future before changing majors. If you feel anthropology is not your thing then your are wasting time and need to act fast and change to something of your interest.

What is the best advice you can give to someone that is going into their first year of university?
I am going to the University of Manitoba next year and am taking mainly science and math courses. I want to pursue a career in medicine (hopefully) or as various other specialists such as an optometrist, dentist or pharmacist.
What advice can you give me concerning studying habits and learning techniques that will help me with my full courseload starting in September?What is the best advice you can give to someone that is going into their first year of university?
Dont go at all. College is a sham.What is the best advice you can give to someone that is going into their first year of university?
My pre-med students tell me that the best way to manage everything is to study every day. Don't try to cram everything in before a test or a quiz, and be sure to pace yourself.
Also, if you have a tutoring center on campus, or study groups, or group tutoring, or anything voluntary like that to support you academically, take advantage of it. It will help reinforce the material and it's a less pressured way to study. You'll also learn some techniques from others on good note-taking, reviewing, reading, memorization, etc. I found the site for U of M's learning center, so you can check that out before you start classes.
Time management will be the key for you--you might have lots of ';free'; time in your schedule, but that's the time to plan for studying.
Also, yes, as one other answer pointed out, leave some time for socializing, sleeping, and eating. My friend told me in my second year of college, when I insisted I could not leave my room because I had to read more sociological theory, ';You don't want to turn into a mushroom.'; It's all about balance.
I'm following the same sort of career path as you, so here are some tips:
Classwork
-being in science and math, you won't have many assignments (perfect opportunity to make fun of your BA friends!). Spend the extra time going over lectures, doing prelabs, and working through problem sets.
-sometimes the questions given to you won't provide enough practice; you will have to, in effect, assign yourself homework.
-you'll probably have lots of labs, quizzes, and tests scheduled very routinely. Make sure to keep a calendar to keep track of them all.
-talk to people in your program to help keep track of aforementioned issues.
Laying the Groundwork
-plan your courses VERY carefully. Everything has different requirements, not just between programs but even between schools. Make sure to keep your options open
-check out lots of clubs in your 1st year (or at least find out what they're about). It'll look good on your application to be involved, plus once you're in a club you may start thinking of opportunities through which you can do so. Club field trips are awesome fun, too :)
Well, i've never gone through a first year of college for medicine, BUT what I can remember from my freshman year of 'university', is that you cannot put everything on the academics. You WILL quickly burn out. I'm not telling you to ignore all of your studies, but make sure you make time to meet new people and go to parties.

Do you have any advice for taking care of an African dwarf frog in a school locker?
Please feel free to answer if you have had experience, with or without the school locker part. :)Do you have any advice for taking care of an African dwarf frog in a school locker?
bahahahaha wtf? why is it in a school locker? whos idea was that!? ah thats hilarious.Do you have any advice for taking care of an African dwarf frog in a school locker?
It's on it's own bored lonely... you're endangering it's life. Let it free in the spot you found it in the first place. If you like it too much to let it go, bring it home. But before hand explain to your mum or dad. If they don't like it you'll have to let it go... sorry, but it's for the best.
it can die in a locker or it could escape in a school locker...god...buy a tank or something it can actually live and be safe in.
you're going to kill it. If you can't keep it at home give it to someone who can or a pet shop.
you should really keep it somewhere like a tank, or else it will probably die.

Do you have any advice on how to leave a job graciously?
I received a sudden promotion that will take me out of my current deparment. I am relatively junior and will be taking on a significantly more responsible job in another department. I sense some genuine congratulations from my co-worker as well as some resentment and jealousy. Any advice for bowing out graciously? I have two weeks left.Do you have any advice on how to leave a job graciously?
Tell everyone how much you've enjoyed working with them. Thank them for any assistance/ training etc. they gave you. Tell them if they want to go further to just keep trying. Don't boast or rub it in and generally try to be normal for your last 2 weeks. Well done!Do you have any advice on how to leave a job graciously?
GIVE THEM A TWO WEEKS NOTICE IN WRITING.
Just be very humble and thank everybody even if they didn't help you. Make it seem like your going to miss the place and the people.
REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM , WHO HAS HELPED YOU IN THE PAST ,,, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU
just tell them you are better than them. and if they have problem with you, you would kick their *** anytime.
I am not quite sure why you would turn down a promotion. If you are not ready for it, why would your boss give it to you? If you are worried about your co-workers feelings, get over it.
If you really don't feel that you are ready for the added responsibility, you could tell your boss, ';thank you but I don't feel that I am quite ready for this promotion';.
I had a similar situation a few months ago. I put up a letter addressed to everyone thanking them all for my time there. yada yada yada...you could also send out an email to everyone...
Speak to your current manager and explain the situation and give him two weeks notice to find your replacement.
Very privately with the person that offerd the promo.

I just got a new hamster, do you have any tips of advice for me?
I read a book all about taking care of hamsters so I know more than the average person who just goes and buys a hamster. But do you have any tips of advice for me with my new hamster?I just got a new hamster, do you have any tips of advice for me?
yeah,keep it out of your tighty whiteys!I just got a new hamster, do you have any tips of advice for me?
Give him/her alot of TLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, there is this stuff you should probably get for your hamster, it is a stress relief,(hamster get the most stressed, when moved to new cage.) My hamster was also, very active when I first got him, he like never slept, so that running is normal. It is alright if you don`t let him out, everyday.
The hamster would probably like a treat (Iceburg lettuce, carrots, milk, yogurt, etc.) at least 1nc a week. DO NOT keep it in the bedroom, THEY ARE ANNOYING.
Really that is all, since you read the books, that is good, so did I
make sure you have little chew sticks or toys for them, if you dont give it to them, their teeth grow to about 6 inches, and then they brake off, (not good)
get ready for dissapointment seems like something always happens to them.
A rule of thumb for any pet it to be gentlier than you think you need to be with it. Animals LOVE you to be especially soft and calm and sweet to them. Avoid any rough play or rough touch etc.
