Month: October 2024

Hey FocusQuest family! November‘s here, bringing fall colors, cozy vibes, and that unmistakable holiday excitement in the air. While you might be dreaming about turkey (or tofurkey) dinners and holiday plans (we don’t blame you!), let’s talk about making the most of this special month.

First things first: VOTING! Early voting is happening right now through November 5th, leading up to Election Day. This is your chance to make your voice heard! Take a tip from one of our community members who carefully reviewed their sample ballot, making sure they understood exactly what they were voting for. That’s critical thinking in action! Ask questions, verify information, and make informed choices. Your vote matters!

Now, while the holiday season‘s magic is starting to sparkle, remember to carve out dedicated time for your studies and projects. Yes, planning trips home or to other exotic places is exciting, but keeping up with your academic commitments now will help you enjoy those breaks even more. Trust us on this one!

Speaking of gratitude (it is the month of Thanksgiving, after all), let’s take a moment to appreciate the gift of education. As Maya Angelou wisely said, “When you learn, teach. When you get, give.” Your journey of learning isn’t just about you – it’s about how you’ll use that knowledge to make a difference.

And hey, while you’re working hard, don’t forget to have some fun! Maybe start a study group potluck tradition, or challenge yourself to write a paper using only turkey puns (okay, maybe don’t do that last one).

From all of us at FocusQuest, we wish you a November filled with learning, growth, informed decisions, and of course, a very Happy Thanksgiving! Remember, we’re grateful for YOU and your commitment to education.

Now, go and enjoy these last 6 weeks of the semester… and save us some pumpkin pie! 🦃📚

Hey FocusQuest Fam! Can you believe it’s already October? The leaves are turning, pumpkin spice is everywhere, and Halloween is just around the corner. But while you’re planning your costume, don’t forget – you’re also in the midst of one of the most exciting adventures of your life: your education!

By now, you should be hitting your stride in this semester. Isn’t it amazing to be in a place where learning and growth are constant? Academia is like a front-row seat to the world’s most exciting show – if you keep your eyes open, that is!

Don’t just settle for what’s in your textbooks. Dive into the latest research in your field. There are mind-blowing innovations happening in medicine, technology, and pretty much every area you can think of. Our world is leaping forward, and you’ve got a chance to leap with it. So don’t let life roll by on default – get involved in the excitement!

Speaking of getting involved, here’s a friendly reminder: it’s an election year! Make sure you’re registered to vote, and when the time comes, get out there and make your voice heard. Complaining about the state of things doesn’t cut it if we’re not willing to be part of the change.

As the great Malcolm X once said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” So keep preparing, keep learning, and keep growing.

And hey, while you’re at it, don’t forget to have some fun! Carve a pumpkin, plan a Halloween movie marathon, or try to find the perfect candy-to-studying ratio. (Spoiler alert: there isn’t one, but it’s fun to try!)

Here’s to an October full of learning, growth, and maybe just a little bit of Halloween mischief.

You’ve got this, and FocusQuest is here cheering you on!
