The temperate weather that heats up the campus in the final weeks of school is always a sign of some new beginning, be it the start of college for a multitude of pre-freshman wandering the campus, the beginning of the On the Job Training or a summer project, or the initiation to the real world for those of the seniors who are finally being compelled out of the bond of being college students. Here at Southern Mindanao Colleges, summer has another meaning. It marks the last time we will drop photos and edit articles, the last time we send out frenzied emails in search of content, the last time we submit our pageslateto the press, the last time we can exemplify ourselves as college journalists. It marks the end of a volume, the moment when we must come to terms with the fact that we can no longer comprehend our own dreams for this position. But it also convey the celebration of the volume that we crafted, every piece of the volume. I entered this office a year ago, apprehended of the seemingly mature and professional upperclassmen that ran the school publication, cherishing those meetings and research study stories, the front pages, our interviews with owners, managers, supervisors and administrators of the place we visit. And we leave largely disenchanted, more preoccupied with the articles left half-complete, the twist left uncharted, the interviews that should have been and the commas that shouldnt have. We see ourselves not as the mature leaders we once envisioned, but as typical unsophisticated 20-somethings trying to ingest the most out of college while we still can. We may lose that ambition every once in a whileperhaps best embodied by those issues hastily set together to hit our deadlinebut at least we cant say we didnt try. Ultimately, its that mix of failure and endless ambition that defines us as student journalists.

Academic Calendar Shift and its Obvious Defects

The act to modify the academic calendar of the University of the Philippines, as well as the other schools like Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University and University of Sto. Tomas, from the present June-March loop to a late August-May loop should be carefully examined. Rather, there seems to have been a hastiness in deciding, which was halted in its trail by the members of the college and university community. The issue was also weighed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd). The UP president Alfredo Pascual sent the idea as a policy proposal to all the chancellors and deans, and asked them to hold extensive consultations with the faculty, students, and administrators, and submit the reactions before Oct. 31. The feedback would then be integrated into a final policy proposal that would be submitted to the various University Councils by the month of December. Pascual assumed that the proposal would be ratified, because he planned to submit the UC-ratified proposal to the Board of Regents for its consideration in the first quarter of 2014. It didnt work quite that way. We dont know what is happening at Ateneo, where the president, Jet Villarin, is just as anxious as Pascual about the idea. But it may be facing a harsh journey. Whats wrong with the said proposal? Aside from the fact that there wasnt enough time to consider all the consequences for UP, and more importantly, for the Philippines, there are some noticeable defects or shall we say the flaws in the justification for the new academic calendar. First and foremost the act is supposed to be mandatory for UP to achieve its role as a regional and global university. What it missed out is that only the North American and European universities are on the August/September to May/June calendar. And it is because it coincides with their seasons; fall, winter and spring. The other countries also have other academic calendars. In Latin America, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa have academic calendars that start in February, right after their summer months. Does this mean that these countries are not global? Or that everyone else dont care to cooperate with them? Thereupon, enough is made of the fact that we are the only country in the ASEAN University Network (AUN) that still observes a June-March academic calendar. But then it was also mentioned that Thailands two academic calendars: one for the Thai system, and one for the international programs. Now that seems to be exceptionally reasonable. Why cant we pore over that alternative, if we are so concerned to attract foreign students? The aim is to increase student progression, and undeniably schools having the same academic calendar will help to attain such aim. But not having the same academic calendar does not hamper students from being progressive.

More importantly, why are we changing the academic calendar to accommodate UP students who wish to study abroad? How many students are we talking about? What about the other factors such as the faculty? Does a distinct academic calendar impede the exchange of faculty? The foreign faculty members use their summer (June, July, and August) to come here and conduct their classes. Anyhow, according to the chair of UPs history department, the idea of changing the academic calendar was tried in the Philippines around 1960, but its way wasnt paved out. Maybe we should inquire the Department of Education since CHEd wasnt establish that time to dig up its files and tell us about it. Another noticeable defect: It commence with the statement that our present academic calendar allows us to have a two-month summer vacation when the weather is torrid. It then conveys that the advantage of having classes in those months is that the average number of typhoons is as low as 0.17 and 0.33, respectively. But are we capable of installing air-conditioning units in every classroom? In doing such, can we bear the cost of it? Anyhow, UP will have the opportunity to converse about the negative ramifications of the proposal. The University Council of Diliman twisted the idea of an August-May academic calendar in the last University Council meeting in the month of December, but a broader trans-section of the university will have the opportunity to have its opinions be heeded during the Diliman forum. Let us aspire several other options will be discussed. In any case, noted that we are not the only ones who are articulating about this kind of change. Two years ago, Tokyo University formed a committee to examine how the academic calendar could be changed to globalize it. President Junichi Hamada wanted to introduce autumn enrolment by the year 2015. Last June 2013, the University of Tokyo announced that it was disregarding the attempt to align with the Western academic calendar. Too many disadvantages including the fact that the students would be graduating in May, while Japanese companies hired in April. Rather, the committee proposed a change from a two-semester system to a four-term (quarter) system that would make it accessible for international students as well as Japanese students to move around.

The temptation to cheat is alluring, even to the most studious college students. It is so easy and proportionately harmless, or is it? A great percentage of the cheaters do so on impulse and do not thoroughly think over their actions and its consequences. Cheating comprises more than just the cheater himself or herself. Everyone in the world of academe is an underdog when it comes to cheating. As students we should be the first raise our hands in agreement that college is tough and the strain to succeed can be overwhelming at times. We the college students typically find ourselves under a lot of pressure during midterms, final exams and the like. Overburden with work, school assignments, projects and research papers. Under a time pressure, we find ourselves depleted, cramming for exams and, for some, facing the temptation of cheating. For some of us, the temptation to cheat overcomes our moral ethics and they take the so-called easy way out. The grade becomes the ultimate objective and cheating becomes the medium to their end. A recent study conducted by an online plagiarism prevention resource, turnitin.com, reported that a whopping 80 percent of college students admitted to cheating at least once all the while on their undergraduate studies. Cheaters justify their actions with dozens of alibis. I didnt have time to study, I would have passed the test anyway, everyone else cheats, it was only one time, nobody will ever know, or it doesnt hurt anyone. Circumstances of cheating are higher at larger universities. Research recommends that students are less likely to cheat if their university has an honor code, rigid penalties for cheating, and vigorously administer its policies. Each college campus has its own guideline for cheating, ranging from an automatic score-deduction on the test to expulsion from school. At this institution, it is left up to each instructors caution to punish students caught cheating. Cheating comes in various forms, ranging from sharing answers, peeping on someones paper and making cheat sheets to plagiarism. With advanced technology, students are finding new measures to cheat, including capturing photos of the lecture notes and saving e-books in their mobile phones. Cheating does more harm than good. Cheaters literally cheat themselves out of an education and bargain their integrity while doing so. One incident of cheating can change the way people discern a person. It is a great deal harder to win back a persons trust than it is to lose it. Cheating even just once, can have detrimental, long-term effects. Students who cheat on tests do not absorb the information and will most likely cheat again when taking their cumulative final exam. Cheating also harms those who are indirectly involved. Looking off someones paper during an exam is troublesome and annoying to the other examinee. Asking a friend for answers sets them in a dilemma and at risk of also being caught. Keep in mind, those who let you cheat are treated just as guilty as the cheater when caught. Think about how friends and other people feel when set in this awkward position. They studied and the cheater did not. Even friends reacts when a cheater scores a higher grade than they did after they spent much time and effort studying and the cheater did not. Furthermore, if someone catches a student cheating, they are faced with the moral dilemma of whether or not to turn in that person. Instructors, then, have the added stress of imposing severe penalties on these offenders. When the temptation to cheat becomes overwhelming, stop to deal with the consequences and the aftershocks of cheating, as well as the penalties.

To Cheat or not To Cheat

Official Title for

It is in the Filipinos blood to be forever grateful to whom we owed so much. Giving praise andhonor to Bonifacio on his 150th birthday commemoration seems not quite enough and is like awe for our countrymen. Bonifacio led the katipuneros in their battle against the Spanish colonizer 1896. He was a leader of this armed movement. The city council of Manila led by Marvin Yul Servo files a resolution urging the congress and President Benigno Aquino III to recognize Bonifacio as the first President of the Tagalog Republic. The resolution said Bonifacios senseless death and disgraceful semblance of a burial is a travesty of a man who contributed greatly to the struggle for Philippine independence. To prove this ay found a article saying that Bonifacios presidency was further acknowledge in the February 8, 1897 issue of La Ilustraction Espaniola y America. Bonifacios portrait in his black suit and white tie bears the caption of Titulado de la Republica Tagala. The article with the portrait describes him as the head of the native government. The resolution is being attested by citing numerous historical documents from local to foreign. Undertaking the process might be bloody as some things couldnt be really left unnoticed. Things and several decision must be agreed by the majority as first thing first. If the National Government will approve the said resolution, then several adjustment when the process go on. Since this will create an oh really impression to the public, knowing that it was already set in their minds that it was Emilio Aguinaldo who became first President of the Philippine Republic. In the argument, it couldnt be avoided that there will always be someone who will oppose it, might as well someone will also grace the subject. Just always remember to point a finger down yesteryears ago, in the year of how well our knight in shining armour did to fight for our freedom from bondage.

What are the changes do you expect

The Advocate

The vision that I want see for the next school year is the implementation of the prescribed uniform for male students. As one of them, I do agree about having it implemented. My apparels are being used during school days, and it disgusts me. I feel that I cant be identified as a student of such academic institution since we dont have a prescribed uniform for male students. I hope that what I saw in the bulletin board last few months about the implementation of the said uniform would be granted so that it wont be unfair to the female students. And besides having such uniform will make this institution more fascinating to new enrollees. - Fritz Patrick Sayson, BSCE - II I want my co-students to give gist (meaning, essence) to the school policies. As of now, I know that this institution needs to implement policies regarding the formality of the students especially for boys. An identity through prescribed uniform is quiet a solution regardless with the ID. Security Officers should be strict in inspecting every person to identify whether he or she is an authentic student for everyone in this institutions safety. Identification is very important, it determines who we are and what school are we enrolled in. - Louise Vincent Tamayo, BSCE - I Students involvement in civic activities.. aside fron that, easier and more manageable way of enrollment,paying fees and seeking permits.. - Ernilo C. Domingo The male students would have their white tshrt uniform applicable - Janice P. Araez What I want to witness the implementation of the boys school uniform and I am scared to say something else, Oops! - Glenibie G. Bongolo, BSSW - I Im expecting the school year 2014-2015 to be more progressive, shall have enough facilities to satisfy the students needs. Male students should wear their proper school uniform for them to be recognized as students of this institution. - Cristobal As a graduating student, Im concerned with the other students. During the examination time I find myself unsatisfied with the rules in distributing the permits in the accounting section. I do hope that when someone is paying in such time, maybe a minute or an hour later, the examination permit should already be in the releasing section. During examination day, Im always early but instead of being in the room before the examination I always end up being late. Also in registrar, I observed that working students are giving more attention to their friends and relatives than the other students who also needs their assistance and that is regardless who comes first. This didnt just happened once but it happens frequently. Before I bid goodbye to my Alma Mater, the Administration must push through renovations- Anonymous

in our school for the school year 2014-2015?

As a student of this institution, I have several concerns regarding not only the services this institution render to its students but also the various incidents which is very obvious and yet the administrative function is not justifiable as it should be. The following are the so called Things to be Aware of: 1.) Unfair Rendering of Services - The credit goes to the following offices with corresponding irregularity/ies; Office of the Registrar - The biased treament of the working students assigned in this office and also the their troublesome treatment to the students whom really needs their assistance which is despicable. Im not pin-pointing every working students but its quiet undeniable that a vast number of them is doing such obvious abhorrent performance. Accounting Section - The same goes to this office regarding the manner of some of its Working Students, biased, unpleasant treatment is obviously being spotted by almost all the students. And of course the troublesome means of paying fees and releasing of permits, a fine renovation should be done for a more convenient way which may lead to a delightful service. 2.) Inadequate Laboratory Equipments/ Instruments - Laboratory equipments in various laboratories like Chemistry, Physics, Material Testing and Surveying Laboratories. For several years of staying in this institution, I am indeed unsatisfied of what I had experienced during laboratory hours. Unable to attain the desired result of every laboratory activity due to incomplete laboratory equipments / apparatusses, though some of the necessary equipments are available but in a very poor condition that leads to a critical error in a certain activity. Laboratory activities which have been included in the laboratory manuals are sometimes leaving it untouched due to unavailable equipments. And of course the Laboratory Manuals which is obviously packed with clerical errors that leads to misunderstanding. If only these problems are taken seriously, this academic institution could be more conducive to learning, thus a greater outcome of productive graduates. If such things which are very evident happens and the Administration keeps on playing Blind & Deft, how could this institution move on to its progression? Its like a Tag of War between conspicuous controversies and thorough progression. I am indeed grateful of having this column in our official school publication as it is a huge opportunity to every students to shout out its concerns. As a concerned student I urge my fellow students to be vigilant and expose every mishap this instution have to attain what we called Academic Progression. By the next school year, I do hope for a conspicuous rightful action of every flaw this institution has. - Voltaire

 Internet: Are you advantageous enough?

For over decades the internet has been a very useful tool for the wide-spreading businesses, global communication, a bridge for connection and an all out source of information research done by the students, doctors, news casters, teachers and the common people. Moreover, with a single hop we explore; with a single click we know; we a single tweet we improve; with a single like we surf; with a single blow we grow. What if we do these millions of times? Will we just know, improve, surf or grow? Or will we then see that our generation has stepped from an era to another proving that weve gone long enough? It may be so broad to tackle this topic-the uses of internet within a society. Talking about this would probably include not only our school but the whole city, the whole world and the whole humanity. Yes indeed, it is a widespread topic but the aftermath is so specific an exact issue as a point of the pin. It affects every human and being in this world. From the most powerful individual to an ordinary man, the internet is advantageous at first hand but life threatening as you goes along. You may be rich but this could still affect. If you are poor, it does more! Instead of attending classes, students sit for an hour or more in front of the computer. Little children in a range of 5-12 years old have not enjoyed the traditional and educational games that we use to play. They dont even help their parents in the household chores prioritizing video games in their gadgets. Lots of prohibited online jobs are booming lately casted in the news. The new version of prostitution has boomed all over the world. The cybersex has spread inevitably. People, this is not a joke or a petty issue. It has something to do with our social stability, downgrades ones reputation, deprives women from their rights and subjects everyone to discrimination and risks. The overuse of the internet may not only cause danger in our society but also to our health as well. Many studies from large universities prove that the strong radiation from computer screens may cause sickness marked by fatigue, vomiting, internal hemorrhage and progressive tissue breakdown. If you are experiencing this, better control yourself and be preventive as soon as now. That too much of something is bad enough is an undeniable fact. It may not directly affect our society and health but we know it has its ways. We must pull ourselves away from this phenomenon. We have progressed as we go along because we are intelligent. This modern world that we are in now is at it is because we have developed technologies. Little did we know, we are in danger. Dont hop in cafes just to explore, read books! Dont click the mouse just to know, ask people! Dont tweet just to improve, train yourselves! Dont just surf to like posts, look forward! Dont blog just to grow, read the Bible! SMCians, will you do these for the better?

Eleneo Q. Esolana the Dean of College of Engineering together with Engr. Meliton Bugawan Jr., Engr. Evan Rhy Galvez and Engr. Nathaniel Demandaco. As a part of their subject matter in their respective courses the group is divided into two for a company visit which is the highlight of the tour. A visit to Myvans Properties an ongoing construction site Subdivision was wended by the civil engineering student together with Engr. Eleneo Q. Esolana, on the very first day of the tour, thus the student checked how deep the foundation of the constructed Subdivision, the ray bars, shears, and etc. as a means of students gaining a contextual understanding of the relationships between theory and construction practice. The group also went to Mactan Shrine, Marcelo Fernan Bridge and Makati Development Constraction Site (Ayala Expansion) which plays a vital role in providing the company with a unique advantage for all its business lines and in giving its external customers the best product value in terms of timely-delivery, high-quality standards, and competitive cost. While a visit to Innodata Company, Survey Sampling International, CITOM and a tour to Magellans Cross and Basilica Minore del Sto.Nino Church was wended by the Cpe, ECE, EE students together with Engr. Meliton Bugawan Jr., Engr. Evan Rhy Galvez and Engr. Nathaniel Demandaco. Their second day destination was a countryside tour to Bohol City for Bonding and Relaxation. They had been through to Nipa & Bolo Making, Baclayon Church, Buffet Lunch while cruising the Loboc River, Drive thru the Man-made Forest, Visit the Ship House, Chocolate Hills, Tarsier Encounter, Cross the Hanging Bridge and many more sight seeing views.

A Catchy Hearts Day

by: Genevieve Mendoza If youd think its kinda boring to spend your valentines day in school, take a look on how the College of Engineering made their celebration appealing to the crowd. The air is charged with excitement and everyone is tense. As you enter the school, the adventure starts and you should be alert for the persons you are not allowed to have contact with are just roaming around and the moment you have touched them, you will directly be put into the prison booth and stay there not unless you pay the corresponding amount that will settle the case. So everyone tried hardly to touch them not. If youre with your special someone, the very affordable film showing is perfect for both of you. You can avail different movie genres and enjoy watching inside the fully air-conditioned classrooms with the rate of Php 5.00 per movie. For the loveless, single or status are the like, you have the chance to stay close with your campus crush through the blind date booth, marriage booth and love knot but if youre not that desperate enough because you are a shy type of person, you can express your feelings through the face art service and the karaoke. Of course, for those who really had the power to push their luck, you can buy raffle tickets and win cash prizes for your dinner date outside.

HORSE IN CHINA
In Chinese astrology, Horse year is considered a fortunate year that brings luck and good things. Magical Horse has supernatural powers, is heroic, strong, and can even fly! A white celestial cloud Horse is sacred to the Chinese Goddess Kwan Yin. Her white Horse flies through the heavens, bringing peace and blessings. Horse is a hero in China because important battles were won due to the power and strength of the Horse. Horses cycle is the seventh earthly branch in Chinese medicine and symbolizes June, the fifth lunar month. June is the time of Gemini, Horses western counterpart. In the summer month of June there is powerful yang chi, and yin chi starts to settle. The sun is brightest and the plants are strong, having reached maturity. In Chinese medicine, Horses earthly branch is the element Fire.

People born in Horse years (2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942, 1930, 1918, 1906) are bright, cheerful, popular, and fun loving. They find people and crowds exciting, and love parties. Horses childish innocence, sunny disposition, and natural charm attract many friends. Horse is a highly intuitive animal, so people born in Horse year follow their hunches. Their keen judgment and natural intuition often help them make the right decisions throughout their life. Usually they dont need to struggle in order to succeed and obtain the fine things life has to offer. Horses have a carefree nature and need ample room for self expression. When constrained by rules, proud Horse will rebel, refusing to be corralled or tamed. Horses will tell you exactly what is on their mind; they are frank and dislike hidden agendas. So this is the time for issues to be out in the open, especially with family members. The time for secrecy was last year Snake 2013, not now in Horse year.

Tips for a Productive Summer

Most college students look forward to the summer for a myriad of reasons: they are looking forward to relaxing, spending time with their friends from home, shopping, playing sports, traveling, spending time with family, and many other activities. However, summer is also a good time to be productive by taking on a job, internship, or volunteer work. Likewise, many college students decide either to self-study a topic or two or to take summer courses. In both cases, productivity is key. Good recommendations and good grades can depend on the amount and quality of work that a college student produces during the summer months. It can be difficult for one to remain motivated and productive in the summer, but there are some easy guidelines for enhancing summer productivity. Here are some tips for college students that want to remain productive during the summer months. Done--another academic year behind you! Youve turned in your last paper, taken your final exam and received your last signature of the semester. After a long school year filled with hard work and little sleep, now what? If you are planning to enter your sophomore, junior, or senior year this fall, you have more than three months to yourself before classes resume. Besides relaxing, catching up with friends, Facebook and Twitter, how will you spend that time? While some fun and downtime is encouraged you should find ways to be productive and continue towards your career goals. Consider the following activities and options for career preparation this summer, you will thank yourself once graduation approaches.

Volunteer/ Community Service

Find an activity that you enjoy or a community service project that is important to you. Are you interested in education, non- profits, healthcare, or the environment? Whatever your interests are, there are a multitude of volunteer opportunities available to you. Not only will you be contributing to society and your community, but also developing valuable leadership skills marketable to future employers and graduate/professional schools.

Take a Class
Taking courses during the summer allows you the opportunity to explore topics not offered at Loyola, get an advance start on more demanding courses, or take fewer classes during the school. Think you may want to change your major? Take an extra class or two to see Its always great if you can find a job in your chosen field of study. Intern- if its really what you want ships have become a key element of the competitive students resume. If you can find to do. a job that is related to your major, then you should take that opportunity. While many students may have already obtained summer internships, use your extra time this summer to research job opportunities. If you find a company/organization that interests you, call and let them know that you are a student interested in interning or even volunteering. This will help you get your foot in the door when you graduate and expand your network. If this is not a possibility, then taking a part-time or full-time job is the next best option. Work experience that is done well can result in a good reference or recommendation for future employment.

Travel
If possible, seek opportunities to travel or study abroad. On top of being a fantastic journey, it can also connect to your academic course of study or future career objectives.

Update your resume

Finally, update your resume with your new experiences. Did you join any new organizations this year or hold a leadership position? Get a new job, or internship? Learn a new skill or foreign language? Update your resume with these new activities while you have the extra time, youll be glad that your resume is current. These are just a few of the many options available to you. Do your homework and remember the summer is a unique opportunity for you to pursue your passions. Employers and graduate/professional schools dont look for candidates who fit a particular academic or social mold, but who will bring something exceptional and enriching to the table. Find out what sets you apart from others. Any summer experience in which you participate should develop that quality to the fullest. So, whatever you decide to do this summer, make sure you balance productivity with a little enjoyment.

By Woman s Day | Healthy Living Thu, Feb 27, 2014 3:27 AM PHT By Tori Rodriguez You know that colds, the flu and even yawning are contagious, but you probably dont know some unexpected emotions and behaviors-some good and some not-so-good-also can catch on. Researchers believe these encourage people to cooperate with each other and understand what can help them and hurt them so they stay healthy and out of harms way. But we often share this info without realizing it through body language, facial expressions and even scent. Here are 10 surprising things you just might pass on to people around you. Photo by Getty Images. 1. Stress. Talk about sharing the load: Research from the March 2012 issue of Social Neuroscience found that merely seeing an anxious person can up your own cortisol, a stress hormone. In other research from Social Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience, people became more alert when exposed to the undetectable odor of sweat from a stressedout person. These cues may prepare us for potential danger, says Lilianne R. Mujica-Parodi, PhD, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Stony Brook University School of Medicine in Stony Brook, NY. 2. Goals. Have you ever marveled at how a kid couldnt care less about a toy until another tot reaches for it? Theres a reason for that: In a 2012 study, participants rated an object as more desirable when they thought someone elses goal was to own it. Wanting what others have may help us learn whats good for you without having to try everything yourself,

9 Weird Things You Didnt Know Were Contagious

March 2014 which would be riskier and more time consuming, says Mathias Pessiglione, PhD, clinical psychologist and research team leader at the Brain and Spine Institute at Piti-Salptrire Hospital in Paris, France. 3. Loneliness. Sounds counterintuitive, but you can catch feeling isolated, according to a recent study. Loneliness makes people more negative, irritable and defensive, which can protect you if youre in an unsafe setting, says John T. Cacioppo, PhD, professor and director of the Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience at the University of Chicago in Illinois. Lonely folks are more likely to treat others badly; those people then do the same to others, and the cycle continues. Be aware of these effects, and when youre with a trusted friend, rein in behavior that might alienate people. 4. Fear. You know how dread can spread rapidly through a crowd for no apparent reason? Now researchers have a clue as to why it might occur: When participants in one study smelled the sweat of a frightened person, they made fearful facial expressions and were more alert, suggesting that they caught the other persons fear. Researchers believe this response may help people survive by communicating info about looming threats. 5. Disgust. Pheromones, chemical signals people unknowingly release, can also communicate disgust, according to the same study that examined fear. Participants were more likely to make repulsed expressions and sniff less often when they smelled disgusted peoples sweat. Researchers say this response may minimize exposure to foul-smelling, potentially toxic chemicals in the air. 6. Joy. It turns out it isnt even necessary to have direct contact with someone (or their pheromones!) for their feelings to rub off on you. A study published in 2013 with the Public Library of Sciences publication, PLoS ONE, found that people can catch another persons happiness by watching someone else watching the joyful person. Our emo-

March 2014 tions can quickly and subtly be transmitted to others, even if its unintentional, says Guillaume Dezecache, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland. And they can make a big impact. For example, just one employees cheerful attitude can spread cooperation and reduce conflict in the workplace. 7. Negative thought patterns. Its not only moods and emotions that can be transmitted but also ways of thinking, like the tendency to perceive situations as worse than they are. Recent research has found that new college students often adopt their roommates thinking style, for better or worse. Those assigned to a more positive roommate developed a more positive thinking style themselves, and likewise with the negative roommates, says study co-author Gerald Haeffel, PhD, associate professor at the University of Notre Dame near South Bend, IN. This might be due to modeling, inadvertently imitating someone elses behavior. Keep in mind that your outlook can be swayed by the people youre close to, and since your mentality can affect them, too, take steps to shift it if youre the Debbie Downer in the group. 8. Breathlessness. Look away when you spot a guy at the gym with inflated cheeks and a red face! Watching someone hold their breath can make you feel out of breath yours elf and can a c tu a l ly quicken your breathing, suggests a 2012 study in Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology. Researchers link this with our capacity for empathy, since physical sensations are a part of

The Advocate 24 the way we experience emotions. Its not that we feel empathy toward the person; we just cant help but have an involuntary response similar to what theyre experiencing. 9. Itchiness. This will have you scratching your heador some other part of your body. Watching someone scratch makes people feel itchy and more likely to scratch themselves in response, reports a 2012 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. Seeing someone scratching herself activates the same areas of the brain involved in the physical perception of itchiness, probably because of our empathetic tendencies. So if you dont want others to think you have a rash, avert your gaze when someones scratching away.

Leader vs. Follower Test

by Jennifer Lavoie on March 03, 2014 Junior > Communications and English > Boston College Leader: a person who guides (boss, captain, director, commander, etc.) Follower: a person who imitates another in regard to his or her ideas or beliefs (admirer, advocate, devotee, fan, etc.)

Qualities of a leader:
1. During a group project do you usually feel comfortable stepping up and telling others what to do? Generally leaders are willing to take on responsibility and distribute that responsibility to other people. They are able to direct their peers in a professional way and oversee a final product. 2. If you have a problem with work or school do you tend to worry about it silently? Leaders more so tend to worry about issues or problems of a company or a project at large. This is why they work well with followers who can willingly share needed information with them to help alleviate stress and pressure. They see an assignment as their main responsibility and are concerned with doing well and succeeding. 3. Do you generally like to give advice and constructive criticism to others? Do you feel good when you help others? Students who are leaders are natural born mentors. They feel comfortable acting as a coach or an adviser and giving useful advice and recommendations to those around them. 4. Some words you would use to describe yourself are: charismatic, confident and assertive. Leaders are often considered to obtain these qualities. They appear charming and poised in the eyes of their peers and are confident and forward in their decisions. 5. If your friends or roommates are in a fight, do you tend to take one persons side over another?

While some associate strongly with one trait over another, both are ultimately important in an academic and work environment. Both followers and leaders are needed in order to create a successful end result. The following questions will help students identify themselves as either the leader or the follower type.

1. During a group project are you more likely to take direction from someone else in the group? Followers tend to be more comfortable being told what to do and working more behind the scenes to achieve a common goal. They take direction well and like having someone guide them through a process. 2. If you have a problem with work or school are you usually willing to talk about it with someone? Students who are followers are often considered good communicators. They are able to relay a problem to their boss or professor and are proactive in sharing important information. They work in the interest of the company as a whole. 3. In general do you take criticism and suggestions well? Often times followers will take critiques and suggestions with a positive attitude. They are able to transform criticism into proactive actions that benefit a goal at large. 4. Some words you would use to describe yourself are: hard working, proactive and passionate. Followers have a very strong work ethic. They work well out of the spotlight and take direction and feedback very well. They are passionate about the end goal and are dedicated to getting there. 5. If your friends or roommates are in a fight do you usually try to mediate get them to hear the other persons side? Followers are good at seeing someone elses perspective. They are open to new ideas and strategies and willing to work with someone elses plan. They are concerned with getting many opinions and ideas in order to achieve the best possible goal.

Leaders are often very confident in their opinions and beliefs. They work hard to persuade others of their ideas and are very much self-assured, which is why others look up to them.

Definitely Absolutely Work

You dont have to lock yourself up in a sound-resistant, bullet-proof iron lung to study. Sure, some social recluses may enjoy such a method and maybe even find solace in the eerie stillness and lack of fun, but sometimes students will find a random habit, inspiring mantra or favorite snack integral to their studying routine that just works for them. Everybodys got a secret. A study secret, that is. 1. Music Im not talking about heavy metal or Mileys Wrecking Ball (unless that gets you motivated in that case, you go Glen Coco). Im talking about your old pal Beethoven and the gang. Numerous studies have shown that listening to classical music while hitting the books can help you retain more information and improve your studying overall. So switch out your Justin Timberlake station on Pandora for Mozart. Your grades will thank you. (Hint: not the notes to Wrecking Ball)

5 Study Tips that

4. Sleep Remember those days in elementary school when you would put on your PJs, watch a few cartoons and be asleep in bed by 9pm to get a full 10 hours of sleep? Yea, my memories are fuzzy too. To maximize your full potential on a test, go to bed. Those theorems you stayed up late to memorize will be of no use if youre too tired to remember how to spell theorem. Its all about the Rapid Eye Movement. REM sleep is crucial to learning its when the brain solidifies all that was taken in that day and clears out unnecessary memories to make room for more information. So ditch your coffee and go to bed.

2. Stand Up You heard me. Stand up. Didnt your mother teach you to stand up for what you believe in? Well dont you believe in acing this midterm? But seriously, maybe its just me (as this is my own personal quirk), but theres something about being physically active while you work, getting the blood flowing and getting you PUMPED to write this paper (commence karate kick). 3. Flash Cards You dont necessarily need to study them; just the act of writing information down helps the brain remember it (okay, make flashcards then throw them in the trashcan, got it). And if you do review those flashcards you will have an even more competitive edge. (If you can ace these flash cards, you can ace anything ... ) (Why yes, that is a treadmill desk)

5. Mix up your study spot Some days you need the dead silence of the library, but other times its hard to find creative inspiration in the dimly lit stacks of dusty books where you are sure there is the loch-library-ness monster slowly sucking away your soul. Instead, mix it up with a pretty coffee shop to lift your spirits and provide a healthy caffeine and sugar rush. Jacqueline Cima, a Junior at UC Davis, likes to study at Starbucks. I went so much during finals week last spring that I earned my gold card. You think youre going to earn a gold card at the library? Plus its more conducive to group studying and instagramming your hipster coffee design. And you mustnt disappoint your Insta followers, even during study time.
