All That's New

International Students who are getting use to college life in the USA. Over the past eight years Planet College has had several posts about this time of year and the endings and the beginnings which occur. You can read several of them here .

International Students have additional concerns along with those which are traditional with domestic college students. Due to the pace of life in the USA and the additional pressures on college students to complete their eduction and get a job it is possible that some basic details my slip past the most dilligent of students.

Planet College International has found this site helpful. The link is to an entry by Brianna Davis who spent a year teaching English in China. Brianna's post list suggestions for Resolutions for the New Year.  She also explains what resolutions are and their significance culturally in the USA.

New Year's Resolutions are a tradition in the USA. What a resolution is is very simple. A resolution
is a goal. Americans at this time of year draw up a list of goals they wish to achieve and these
are referred to as their New Year's Resolution.

Common resolutions are; Lose Weight, Stop Smoking, Exercise and even Earn More Money.

This practice is so common that during January in the USA it is common to hear one person say to another, " How's your new year's resolution coming."

Right now, before the busyness of the New Year takes over your daily life take a look at Brianna's list. Some of her suggestions could prove useful for your life on Planet College in the USA.

And Happy New Year from Planet College International.
