I just recently attended my final muse event with two of my friends and class mate Troy. This muse event was extremely helpful considering it s almost finals week. This workshop was about test taking and what are good test taking strategies. The two presenters where very informative about every type of test that we would be faced with; math, essay, multiple choice and take home test. They also emphasized the importance of managing your time while taking a test. The strategy they suggested was look at the test, do the easiest ones first, and always make sure you have time to do your essay or short answer. While you’re writing your essay, make sure you always have time to proof read because teachers always know when you are rushing to finish and exam or if you had enough time.

Muse event #2

On Friday the 13th, I attended a money management muse workshop that I was informed about from my roommate. The presentation helped me understand what it is to establish credit, maintain good credit and what is necessary or not. I also found out that if you are late for one credit card payment, all other credit card companies you belong to are informed and can affect your relationship with them as well. I also became aware that it is only reasonable to use credit in case of emergencies, large appliances and to pay large amounts of money that you do not have the cash for. It is always better to use cash than credit. This muse event was just what I needed because as a college student I really need to start learning to save my money and only buy things that are completely necessary.

Muse Workshop

The first muse workshop I attended was called "the Cool Factor". It was not what I expected but still very informative. It was not about what cool is or how to be cool, it was about how to help you view of yourself as "cool". It taught me how to not worry about what other people’s standards of what cool is affect me. Also, that people with good views of themselves have a high rate of success at life. I went to this before our Muse class at around 1 or 1:30 by myself because I could not find any one to go with. I was actually glad I went to this because I learned that if I have a positive out look on myself, then other people will have a more positive look on me and my lifestyle. I also learned that even when I am angry, that that I should not let that ruin my good attitude because when anger over comes you, it completely wrecks your good judgment. I was glad I went to this muse event because it was actually good information that was not useless.
