So y- intercept = -4 Therefore the equation of line is y = 2x 4 These examples clearly illustrate the method of framing equation from the given graph.

What College Students Should Know About Social Media

What College Students Should Know About Social Media These days, almost everything gets posted on social media. Every social event, every embarrassing fall, every bad hair daythey get posted on the Internet for the world to see. Staying smart on social media is a concept that many students misplace. Knowledge of social media and its influence on your future is valuable, because contrary to many beliefs, there are great advantages to students utilizing social media as well. With almost everyone having some sort presence online, and many not properly aware of the best ways to showcase that presence, things can get messy fast. The big thing to remember when in college is that your social media presence matters. It might have influenced the admissions advisors who approved your application and it may influence potential employers for the rest of your life. You could be a stand-up citizen with amazing grades and wonderful people skills, but if you appear one way online and another way in person, employers may begin to wonder how well you actually might fit in with their mission. Why students should craft a positive online persona A positive persona on social media can sometimes help you land a job or an internship. You could find yourself recruited by a potential employer through LinkedIn, for example (someone who probably took a peek at your other channels as well to get an idea of your character before reaching out). Even if you make connections at a career fair or through other avenues at your school or in-person events, chances are these people will check out your social channels, so a glowing image could help boost your resume up the list. Having a positive image online may show that you are aware of the world around you and know how to properly handle yourself in an environment where nearly anything is allowed. How students can positively use social media It can be smart at some point during college to begin constructing a professional image online. Consider following news channels and public figures relevant to your field of interest, which will show you are interested in more than just the social aspects of the world. Some people choose to set up a professional Twitter account, for example, to follow and post things relevant to both their career path and current events. Also, in addition to Linkedin, there are various portfolio sites geared toward networking in specific fields. These types of sites could be focused on art, writing, research, or another discipline, and give you a platform to showcase your experience and skills while networking with potential connections. It can also be helpful to maintain a professional presence on other social networking sites, like Facebook and Instagramplaces you might not typically think of as professional social media opportunities! There is no need to completely shy away from sharing various posts and photos with your friends and family, but simply making sure that content is appropriate and representative of the online persona youd want employers to see is whats crucial. Little things like this can pay off big with potential employers who may be comparing your resume to others. Plus, this is another opportunity to share articles that are relevant to current events and your desired career field, further emphasizing your readiness for entering the workforce. [RELATED: The Importance of Writing Skills] Remember the positive side of social media and how proper usage can work to your advantage; think of your online profiles as a sort of resume or glimpse into the things you think are important. This could be the first thing potential employers know about you and your character, so make it a good first impression. In the end, college life will be some of the best days you experience, but just remember to think twice before posting, because your online actions could affect your future opportunities.

Useful Italian Phrases and Etiquette Tips for Going Out to Eat

Useful Italian Phrases and Etiquette Tips for Going Out to Eat Sign up successful But before we dive into these useful Italian phrases, there are some important dining etiquette rules one must remember when traveling to Italy. Italian Etiquette for Dining In the Italian culture, eating is a way of life. Family and friend gatherings are often centered around food. Here are some major do’s and don’ts when eating in Italy. Don’t expect the waiter to bring you the bill. Until you ask for il conto (the bill), the waiter will not bring it to your table. Also, don’t be shocked when the bill includes a small bread fee. Do enjoy your meal slowly. Italians consider dinner to be a time when you relax with family and friends. There is no such thing as get a quick bite to eat. Don’t cut your spaghetti. Whatever you do, never cut your spaghetti; rather learn how to gracefully twirl it onto your fork or go old school with a spoon. Do arrive late. Whereas showing up late for dinner in the U.S. is considered rude, Italians are rarely ever on time. Therefore, it’s okay to arrive a few minutes after the appointed time. Don’t expect breakfast. Unless you’re staying at a hotel that caters to Americans, don’t expect to eat a breakfast filled with eggs, bacon, and toast. Italians typically start their day with a cappuccino. Do go where the locals go: Italy is home to some of the most delicious foods in the world. Don’t hunt down the one restaurant that serves an American cheeseburgerâ€"eat where the locals dine! Useful Italian Phrases for Going Out to Eat The first thing to learn are common Italian phrases your waiter (il cameriere / la cameriera) may use. For example, the waiter may say the following: Cosa prende Lei? (What will you have?) Cosa desidera Lei? (What would you like?) If you are eating with one or more people, your waiter may phrase these questions in the plural to address all parties: Cosa prendete voi? (What will you all have?) Cosa desiderate voi? (What would you all like?) In response, you can simply state the item(s) you want, or you can use a whole sentence: Un piatto di ravioli con un bicchiere di vino rosso, per favore. (A plate of ravioli with a glass of red wine, please.) Prendo il risotto ai funghi. (Ill have the mushroom risotto.) If you have specific dietary restrictions, the following phrases may come in handy: Non mangio (I dont eat) la carne (meat) il pesce (fish) le uova (eggs) In looking at the menu and specifying what you would like for each course, familiarize yourself with the following words: la colazione (breakfast) il pranzo (lunch) la cena (dinner) lantipasto (appetizer) il primo piatto (first course) il secondo piatto (second course) or piatto principale (main course) la pasta (pasta; you will see different types such as le lasagne, i ravioli, gli spaghetti) il contorno (side dish) il formaggio (cheese) il dolce (dessert) le bevande (beverages) When ordering your meal, your waiter may inquire whether you would like: acqua gassata (sparkling water) acqua minerale (still water). In addition to water, you may want to order: un bicchiere di vino rosso/bianco (a glass of red/white wine), una birra (a beer) un espresso (an espresso). *Keep in mind that, in Italian culture, un cappuccino is reserved only for breakfast time; it is not served after lunch or dinner. When it comes time to pay, if youre dining with your Italian hosts or friends and would like to treat them, you can say: Offro io! (Its my treat). To ask the waiter for the bill, you can say: Il conto, per favore (The bill, please). * In Italy, tipping is not expected since the charge for service, called il coperto, is usually included in the bill. If youd like to use the bathroom before leaving, you can ask: Dovè il bagno? (Where is the bathroom?). Becoming familiar with these common  Italian phrases for going out to eat will serve you well. Youll be able to communicate with the wait staff, order your meal to your liking, and participate fully in this quintessentially Italian activity: enjoying your food. If you want to learn more Italian  words and phrases, you might want to consider taking an Italian lesson before your trip! Post Author:  Nadia B. Nadia B. teaches Italian in New York, NY.

Bon Voyage! What to Pack for France [Infographic]

Bon Voyage! What to Pack for France [Infographic] Suzy S. Need to know what to pack for France? French tutor Carol Beth L. shares her tips to make your trip abroad a success! As you pack for your trip to France, its important to keep in mind your needs and goals â€" and where youll be and what youll be doing while youre over there! The number one recommendation I would give to would-be travelers to France is to pack lightly. Especially if you live in an English-speaking country other than Great Britain, youre probably in for a relatively long flight. Once youre there, especially if youll be traveling around significantly, you wont want to have to lug too much around with you. Remember that France is not only a civilized country, but it also contains many wonderful, desirable items you may wish to bring back with you. You might even want to bring an extra bag if you plan to do lots of shopping. What to Pack for France Before you go to France, be sure to study these eight essential French phrases for travelers, and try the 10 tips to learn French fast! How to Travel Light on Your Trip to France If youre near time for a wardrobe update, consider buying some of your new clothes after you arrive in France. For those you do bring, select just a few essentials that are appropriate to the season. If you need a winter coat or other warm clothes, wear them in layers during the flight. Consider travel-sized essentials. This will also help with US security restrictions on liquids such as toothpaste and shampoo. If you can, leave the technology behind. Especially if its a short trip, consider whether you can make it without your laptop. If you have things you must do using a device, will an iPad or iPhone suffice? Consider bringing a USB if you need data storage, and looking up an internet cafe while abroad for any more complicated technological or online necessities. It is possible to go without checked luggage. On my first three international trips â€" including a semester abroad and an orchestral tour that required my violin â€" I avoiding checked luggage. It made things simpler and easier both before and after arrival. Consider Your Accommodations My second recommendation is to consider where you will be staying. Will you have a place to lock up your things to keep them safe? Will you need to keep them with you perpetually? If you leave them in your room, will they be secure? Dont bring anything you wouldnt trust to survive in the places youll be going, and be prepared with a back-up plan to replace or retrieve backups of anything that goes missing. See Also: 35 French Travel Phrases to Learn (Video) Dont Forget Your Camera My third recommendation is to bring a record-keeping device and to have a plan to keep it going. This probably sounds obvious to many people. Many people probably have a  with them most of the time on their mobile phones. Sometimes simple or low-tech solutions can be just as good. In high school, my mom stuck several disposable cameras in my bags for my trip to Europe, and I used them. They worked quite well. In college, I took a miniature camera, and the batteries fell out when it took a plunge down the steps of a cathedral. Much of the data from that batch of photos was lost because it took me too long to retrieve the parts and put them together. Power Up Your Devices For those who bring chargeable or plug-in items, keep in mind also that you will need converters that will first of all allow you to plug in your device, and second of all convert the electrical current properly if there isnt one internal to the device already. Laptop computers often have current converters in their electrical chords, but still require a plug adapter to allow the end of the chord to plug into French electrical outlets. Fortunately for international travelers, if you are traveling to more than one European country, most European countries are consistent among themselves. While you are in France, have fun and experience as much as you can! Travel is simultaneously fun and educational, and the freer you are the more you will be able to bring back with you, both mentally and physically. Whats in your suitcase?

Writing a Statement of Purpose

Writing a Statement of Purpose Graduate school applications require a statement of purpose. A statement of purpose is similar to an undergraduate personal statement, but it is typically more succinct and specific in its focus. Each university maintains its own format. However, in all cases, the statement of purpose is an applicants opportunity to detail his or her case for admission. Here are some great tips on what to know when writing your college admissions essay. Prospective schools seek a narrative that explains how your experiences shaped your motivation for pursuing this degree and program, how those experiences prepared you for success, and what your long-term goals are both within the program and after graduation. The key to this process is to convince the university you are applying to that you are precisely who they desire. You must prove that you are dedicated to this opportunity, that you have a sense of what you will achieve with this degree, and that you are capable of contributing to their reputation. Here are several strategies to do so: Do not be shy Strong statements of purpose involve selling yourself, to a certain degree. It is all too easy to stumble into the trap of understating your qualifications while attempting not to seem arrogant, but this is a moment when you must state what you are capable of academically. Support statements about your aptitude or qualifications with evidence cite your grades in relevant courses when discussing your dedication in the classroom or your letters of recommendation from previous research when detailing your ability to further knowledge within the field. Here are some helpful tips for writing an essaythat you may find useful. Conduct careful research Do express your excitement for the program, but recognize that enthusiasm alone is not sufficient to convince an admissions committee that you truly wish to be part of their university. Project informed enthusiasm so they understand that you are not just excited about the opportunity to attend graduate school, you are excited about the opportunity to join their program. Reference those attributes that attracted you to the university, as well as why those aspects of the program motivate you to be a part of it. Bridge this information to your past experiences. The more specific you are, the better. Outline your intended future Your explanation of a long-term plan serves as proof that you have thought things through carefully. By explaining in a convincing manner where you hope your career will go, what motivates you to follow that trajectory, and how this graduate school will assist you in achieving those goals, you can convince the admissions committee that you are not making an impulsive or ill-informed decision. The last thing any program desires is a person who is uncertain he or she wishes to be in graduate school. By sharing your future, you can avoid this doubt. These are some great tips on how to write a personal statement for medical school. When properly constructed, a statement of purpose will weave a strong explanation of how your past has prepared and motivated you to become a part of this program, how you have equipped yourself for success, and what you hope to accomplish with the degree once you earn it. By presenting this clearly and succinctly and citing ample evidence, you will put your best foot forward in the admissions process and greatly augment your likelihood of earning an interview.

How Much Does Medical School Cost MCAT Medical School Admissions Getting into medical school requires mental and emotional preparation, as well as financial readiness. Med school is expensive, and everyone who wants to be a doctor knows this.
