As the new semester gets underway, you
are facing more and more demands on your time. Term papers. Exams. Group
projects. Meetings. When confronted with all of these responsibilities, it is
tempting to burn the candle at both ends. Now more than ever, you need to be
watching out for your own health. Just last week, the Express-News reported
that San Antonio has the second-highest flu activity in the country.
How can you make sure that you stay healthy? First, make sure you’re
getting some sleep. Wait until the flu season is over before you attempt
back-to-back all-nighters. Second, if you’re using public computers, remember
to wash your hands more often than usual. Third, if you feel yourself getting
run down, try to get some rest immediately. Last but not least, if you know of
a friend who is coughing and/or feverish, please discourage him or her from
attending class and infecting other people. Stay healthy!

Career Services: Why does a
first-year student need a resume anyway?
A resume
documents an individual’s experiences--paid as well as unpaid. You are gaining
experience every time you join a student organization and volunteer in the
community. It is easier to document these experiences as you go, rather than
trying to remember them months or years later when you are ready to use a
resume to find an internship or employment.
But resumes
aren’t just for jobs! Resumes sometimes are required for scholarship or award
applications, or to apply for volunteer student leadership positions on campus.
So how do
you get started? Come to walk-in hours in Career Services: M/W/F 1:30-4pm and
TU/TH 10:30am-1pm. Also, come to Resumania,
a career event on Feb. 2-3 in the CUC Lobby, to kick start the resume process.
