High School: Junior Year (Chapter 6)
Chapter Six (Ralfie's Point of View) I didn't catch what Elena said to Sam. I was too busy thinking about what was inside of the folder and then Sam just gets up and leaves the cafeteria. Elena, Selena, and Alana walk back to their table in their tight little triangle, ignoring the mixture of facial expressions they passed. I looked around the room and there were people displaying a plethora of different expressions. Some people even smiled about it all. The only people who wore a blank face, as if nothing just happened, were the emo kids. Then again they always wore that the blank face expression.

3 Unconventional Ways to Network in College
Many of us go to college with the dreams of getting an education in order to make our dreams come true. We do this with the hopes of landing a job immediately after we graduate.

But, I beg to differ; I believe that if you were active in college and social—or at least friendly to everybody—then you should at least have some form of a job lined up after college. One of the things that perplexed me about one of my friends was her completely asinine idea that college was supposed to both train you for your job and provide a job for you after you graduate—amazing, right? Unfortunately, I have been in college for six years—pursuing one degree, two minors, three certificates—and I have learned a thing or two. One of the things that I have learned is the power of relationship building or networking. I believe that the whole purpose of college, in addition to providing you a quality education, is to also allow you to network with other like-minded individuals—and those who aren’t so like-minded. Networking gives the power to get a leg up in the world because in these times, it isn’t about what you know or who you know, but, who knows you.
