3. Go to Office Hours

This is a big one that everyone kind of says to do, but it’s very rare to find someone who actually does it. We’re college students, we’re lazy, and the idea of walking all the way to the Visual Arts building after spending a day in Business Administration kind of makes us want to die. But it will be worth it when you’re half a point away from an A at the end of the semester and the difference in letter grades is whether or not your professor has any idea you exist…read more here

Family Movie Night – Picking Out a Movie Tip

Let me set the scene – its family movie night. The popcorn is popped. Everyone is in their pajamas and gathered in the family room… when mom or dad picks out a movie the kids start complaining.

So you come up with a new family plan of on certain days/weeks, a certain kid picks out the movie – ‘it’s his/her night to pick’ kind of thing. But the other one feels left out or isn’t interested and ends up in a different room doing something else unrelated and you lose the feel of it being a family activity.

This is how we do it at the doitandhow.com household:

Mom &/or Dad picks out 5 or 6 appropriate movies. Kid # 1 narrows the field to 3. Kid #2 gets final pick. (adjust for your number of kids). We’ve found that with this way: everyone gets a choice, feels included and stays interested.

We’ve also employed this for outings where we need to choose a fast food place… Mom/Dad gives the options that are in the area we’re traveling. Kid #1 narrows the choice, and Kid #2 picks. Keep in mind “Kid #1” doesn’t always have to be the oldest – maybe he/she is the pickiest… maybe it’s different every time. As long as we cut down on the arguing, Momma is happy!
