New Laptop

I have had my laptop for about two years now, but it is very slow and half the time does not even work. It is an Acer laptop computer. I am currently looking to get a new laptop, but have no idea what brand to go for since there are so man out there!! Some one told me to go for the iPad; the iPad is great but not for an everyday computer. Other people were telling me to go for an Apple computer, but then some people were telling me to go with Dell. I just don't know what to do! I need something that can hold a decent amount of information and a brand that does not have too many complications. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what brand of laptop to buy?!

Taking Adapted Courses

In today's society, I feel that we are a bigger melting pot now more than ever! Everyone is so different, whether it is sexual orientation, race, or people who have disabilities, there is not one person that is exactly the same. One great course I feel all students need to take here at Slippery Rock is Intro to Adapted. Even if you do not have an Adapted minor, Intro to Adapted is still a requirement for Physical Education Majors. It is very eye opening and makes you realize that you will be dealing with students with disabilities and not every classroom setting will have a teacher's aid to help. The class is very hands on and lets you work with people who have disabilities. I know that it made me re think the minor I am currently trying to obtain. Any thoughts on the Adapted Minor?

iPad or Kindle?

At my house, we use both the Kindle and the iPad. I know that a lot of people ask which one they should purchase before they go out and buy one or the other. My personal opinion is to go with the iPad! Everyone has their own opinion on which one to buy but the iPad has more features, it is more expensive but well worth it! You can use the iPad for all different things such as lesson plans for teaching, networking for all different job types, and even for personal use with everyday living. the iPad is very fast with internet access as well, just like the iPhone. It will help you with many different situations and keep your life well organized. So when in doubt, choose the Apple iPad! Feel free to post thoughts about my opinion or ideas on new way of technology that may be better that are like the Kindle or iPad.

Parking on Campus

I know that a lot of people commute from as far as Pittsburgh, so having to get to classes here at Slippery Rock is already time consuming and possibly stressful. For those students who have their own place a little bit closer to campus, like myself, we have places close to campus so we do not have to worry about certain situations like time. Finding parking on campus is horrible. I understand that walking to class is great exercise, but when it is raining or when there is a blizzard outside, walking to class is not the smartest idea. Everyday I drive on campus, no matter what part of campus it is, I always see Staff Parking spots open but never spots for student parking. There are over 8,000 students that are enrolled here at Slippery Rock. Not everyone drives, but most people do. We need to speak up and resolve this issue. Slippery Rock is only getting bigger, so they need to make changes! Can anyone think of any ways to help this from happening? All ideas are welcome!!
