Daily Titan Comment
This article is very interesting and helpful for every student who enter to the college. There are three strategies that help students to cope the problems and survive in college under the circumstances. These include time management, goal setting and art of mastery. If the students use these strategies, I think that they can survive in college. I already graduated Bachelor degree in my country, and nobody or any article told me about how to survive in university. However, I learned to cope the problems by myself because the situations compelled me to survive in university and I had to do a good job. Since I am an only child, and my parents really want me to succeed in my life. In my opinion, I agree with this article about the first year in university. Freshmen usually have more problem about how to survive in college than other because they are not familair to college. They just went over from high school. They have to adjust themselves. Also, I believe that if the students can cope the problems very well in first year, they will succeed and do a great job in college. In my experience,the students may face the problems again when they are senior because they have to do a project or some job that usually not easy for finishing their college. I got very stress when I was senior because I will graduate or not depend on this year.

Three Reasons to Take A Bus
Transportation is an important thing that people often think about. Everyone needs transportation. Some people have to go to work, and some people have to go to school. Even if someone does not work or study, they still have places that they need to go. These days, there are many ways to get around such as bus, train, bicycle, car, and so on. Some people think about convenience, but some people are concerned about money. Taking a bus is the one choice that a lot of people choose. There are three reasons to take a bus. These include saving money, saving time, and saving the environment.
The first reason to take a bus is saving money. The most important thing why taking a bus save money is people who take a bus don’t have to purchase the car and maintenance. They don’t need to buy the car and don’t need to pay a lot of money to take care their car. For example, drivers sometimes have to bring their car to check the machine, and they have to pay for service. Also, drivers have to pay when they bring their car to wash. Moreover, people who take a bus don’t have to pay their money for gas and parking permit. They pay only fare that is cheaper than gas and parking permit. Besides gas and parking permit, insurance is the cost that drivers have to pay. Furthermore, many people suffer from ticket. People sometimes do something illegal when they drive. For instance, some people sometimes hurry to go and ignore to notice stop sign. Some drivers too busy and don’t see stop sign or other sign, so they do not follow the traffic law. Therefore, they usually get the ticket from the police. Also, cost of ticket is quite expensive. Due to above reasons people who take a bus don’t have to spend a lot of money for many things.
The second reason to take a bus is saving time. People who take a bus don’t have to waste their time finding parking. Although people who drive reach their place faster than people who take a bus, they have to find parking. Drivers sometimes have to spend a lot of time finding parking especially in business hour. They may need time more than people who take a bus. There is a good example for this case. Some drivers have to wake up early in the morning. They have to work at 8.00 am, but they cannot go to work almost 8.00 am because they cannot find parking at that time. Therefore, they have to arrive their work around 7.00 am to 7.30 am because that time is easy to find parking. On the other hand, people who take a bus can go to work almost 8.00 am because when they get off the bus, they can walk to work immediately. Also, people who take a bus will not get lost. Drivers may waste their time for finding the correct way. For example, Drivers sometimes may drive to the wrong way because they think about other things when they drive, or they have to go to the new way that they have never gone before. When they go to the wrong way, they have to spend time finding the right way. In contrast, people who take a bus are not going to face this problem. Moreover, taking a bus help to reduce traffic jam. If everyone drives, there are a lot of cars on the road. Certainly, everybody will face the terrible traffic and has to spend more time on their way.
The final reason to take a bus is saving the environment. Taking a bus can help community to save for environmental pollution. It helps to decrease smog. When people drive, the cars will release carbon dioxide that affect global warming. Also, global warming can cause many problems. Furthermore, taking a bus stop wasting gas. If people drive, they have to use gas for their car. Therefore, people who take a bus do not need to use gas for car. It can save oil because gasoline is produced from oil. In addition, if many people take a bus, they are going to need fewer roads and freeways. The government does not have to build the huge roads and freeways, so they don’t have to cut many trees. Therefore, people who take a bus can help their country to save a lot of trees. Clearly, taking a bus can save the environment for many reasons.
In conclusion, there are many good reasons to take a bus. Some people care about their money. Some people do not want to waste their time finding parking. Also, people sometimes take a bus because they do not know the way exactly, and they do not want to go to the wrong way because they do not want to spend a lot of time going back to the right way. Someone think that taking a bus can help to reduce the problem about a lot of traffic jam because they do not want to spend more time on the road. A lot of people really care about environmental problem. They don’t want to be a person who causes a lot of pollution. They know that a lot of cars can make a lot of pollution. They do not want to use gas because they want to save oil. Also, they do not want the huge roads and freeways because they do not want to destroy many trees. Taking a bus has many advantages. It can help not only people but also environment. Therefore, taking a bus is a better way for many reasons.

What are you going to do over the 3 day weekend?
The Three Days Weekend.
There is nothing special that I am going to do over the 3 days weekend. I don't think about this weekend, so I still don't have plan to do anything. However, when I knew that I have to write journal about what am I going to do this weekend, I just though about this. Now I have a little bit plan, but it is quite boring. The first day of weekend, I am going to finish my homework that I think I have to do it all day because I have a lot of homework. Many teachers like to give students too much homework in long weekend except my composition teacher. He always wants students write three journals every week although we don't have long weekend. If I can finish my homework on this Saturday, I can do other things on other days. The second day of weekend, I am going to do chores around the house such as washing the dishes, washing my clothes, cleaning bathroom, and so on. Since I live with my aunt, I have to help her to do chores. If I live with my parents now, I will not worry about this. I can ignore it. The last day of weekend, I will go to the mall. I just want to look some clothes. I am not going to buy anything because I knew that every mall will give the customers a big discount when the day after Thanksgiving. Therefore, I will wait until that day. However, I want to go to the mall this weekend because someone told me that on Thanksgiving many people are going to go to the mall early in the morning. When the mall open, a lot of people will hurry to go inside and take every thing that they like as quick as possible. I may don't have enough time looking for something. I will go to the mall before that day, and I will decide my mind that what I want. Also, I will try to wear the clothes that I like because I have to know that it is look good for me or not, and I have to know the size that suitable for me. Therefore, I can go to the mall on Thanksgiving, and I can take everything that I want quickly because I already knew what I want. In conclusion, I have three main things to do on this weekend even though it is not so exciting.

Thanksgiving is coming up soon. What three things are you most thankful for?
Thanksgiving
There are three things that I most thankful for. First, I would like to thank for my parents. My parents are the first people who I really want to thank. They always give me everything that I want or necessary for me. They give me not only things, but also knowledge. Moreover, the most important thing that they always give me is love. Also, I could not come to the United Stated and have studied at ALP if I don't have my parents support. Although I have to write three journals every week, I still feel happy that my parents support me to study at ALP. Second, I really want to thank for my aunt who I stay in her home now. She is a person who recommends me to study at ALP. When I lived in my country, and I want to study English language at the US, I called my aunt to find the university for me. Also, she went to the ALP office, and she sent some information about ALP to me in Thailand. Furthermore, she has permitted me to stay at her home during I am studying here. Even though I have to pay for her, it is cheaper than rent an apartment. Also, it is more comfortable than live in apartment. Finally, I would like to thank for my destiny. It makes me to meet many good things and many good experiences in my life. Though I sometimes have a problem, I usually can deal with it. Therefore, I like to say that thank you so much my destiny. It usually makes me decide my mind and correct the problem in the right way. I can face every problem because I believe in my destiny. In addition, my destiny makes me to study at ALP and meet my nice classmates and very kind teachers. Also, I have to write three journals every week because my destiny makes me to study here and meet composition teacher who like to assign the students to write the journals. Furthermore, my destiny makes me to have the person who I really want to say thank you. I have great parents because my good luck destiny. Also, it makes my aunt to recommend me to study here. To summarize, due to thanksgiving is coming up soon, I would like to say thank you for the most three important things that make me success in my life.

Is it ever okay to lie? In which circumstances?
Is It Okay to Lie?
It is okay to lie in some reasons. First, lie to save other feeling. We sometimes have to lie because we don't want other to worry about us. Also, we don't want to hurt other. Therefore, we sometimes should not tell the truth. For example, when we don't live with our parents, we usually call them. Also, when we call them, they usually like to ask us about our health. We should tell them that we are fine although we sometimes really get sick because we don't want they to worry. Second, Lie to help ourselves. We are not selfish, but we lie because we don't want to get some troubles. We want to avoid from the problems. However, we should make sure that we don't hurt other or make other to get some bad effect because we lie. For instance, we sometimes come to class late. We often tell the teacher that we face a lot of traffic jam even though we oversleep. Since we don't want to have a problem. However, we can lie to help ourselves, but it is going to be okay in sometime not several times. We should improve ourselves. Therefore, we don't need to lie about this problem again. Finally, lie to help other. We really care about other, so we sometimes lie to help them. For example, when our friend absent, we usually tell the teacher that they get sick, or they have the important thing to do. However, this kind of lie is not good in some situations because we may help people who make guilty become guiltlessness. Moreover, they may make same guilty again because they don't get any punishment. If we lie to help other that do in wrong way, we should tell them that don't do it again. Also, we should not lie to help them become guiltlessness more than one time. Indeed, there are many situations that no problem to lie.

Does it matter what strangers think of you? Do you care if everyone likes you or are you content just being yourself? Write a paragraph explaining your answer.
It does not a matter what strangers think of me because they are just strangers. I don't know they, and they don't know me too. Therefore, I don't care what they think of me. I content just being myself. When I think that I do in correct way, it does not a matter if someone doesn't like me. If I care about everyone likes me or not, I have to pretend to do something that it is not my behavior. That is mean I fake. Moreover, I think that I cannot make everyone likes me. Since, everyone has many opinions and ideas. Also, everyone has many styles. When I do something, someone may like it. However, someone may don't like it anymore. If I care about strangers, I am going to be nervous. I feel happy to be myself. If strangers like me, it is good. If they don't like me, it is not a problem. I am not a egoist, but I am so proud of myself. I am not mean, but I don't want to change my behavior or my style for strangers. However, I care about my parents and my friends. If they don't like me, I am going to feel sad. Also, I will adapt myself for my parents and my friends. In conclusion, I like to be myself, and I don't care about strangers. However, I am going to do everything to be the best.
