Alright good folks, hello again! I'm a little busy this week studying for my comprehensive exams, so sorry for the late post! If you don't know what comps are, it's a wonderful little exam that tests your knowledge of all of the classes you took from day one in graduate school.  

This weeks blog highlights some interesting and (hopefully) helpful sites dedicated to topics ranging from internships to relieving stress. 

Name	URL	Brief Description	Recommend?
Adventures in Education	http://www.aie.org/ index.cfm	This site seems to have it all! Information for students, parents, school and community staff! Great info on scheduling your classes (beginning in middle school), financial aid, paying off loans, and finding a career. For students there are links to preparing for college (taking exams, understanding colleges, etc.), going to college (info on managing your time all the way to exploring careers and degrees), and lastly after college links (info on repaying loans, and resume help).	This site has a great, user-friendly layout with tons of accessible information. I would definitely recommend it for first-gens as well as other students.
Florida State University: Career Center	www.career.fsu.edu	This is a great site for students that seek information on writing a resume, preparing for an interview, writing curriculum vitae and more (using the career guides link)! There are a lot of links for FSU students, however guides are available to all, as well as most services offered! So whether you are looking for help with choosing a career path, or tweaking your resume, this site is great-and if you can’t link to information because you’re not a student, you can find info on coming into the Career Center where you’ll find a ridiculous amount of information and help!	This site is great for FSU students, however if you’re in the area you can find information on Career Center services which are available for all.
Arizona State University: Stress Management	https://eoss.asu.edu/wellness/ stressmanagement	Feeling the stress of college? This site is where you need to go! It’s packed with info on stress and tips on managing said stress, along with interactive surveys including surveys which help to check in on alcohol intake (are you using substance to relieve stress? How much is too much?)	Most definitely! This site is user-friendly and well organized.
