April Showers bring May Flowers. :]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Anyways trying to adjust to this weather can be difficult, so always make sure you check the weather before you step out the door to go to class!&nbsp; Especially with the semester ending within a month, it&#8217;s a great class to pack small things that you won&#8217;t be ending up using anymore and send them home, so its less of a hassle when you officially move out.&nbsp; This includes winter jackets, all the bundles of sweatshirts you have and etc!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Anywayssss, everyone has been buzzing lately about advising and enrolling into classes!&nbsp; If you are interested in changing your major, or adding a major\/minor, right now would be a great time to start taking action!&nbsp; First you would have to speak with your advisor to get any feedback and so they can help you with your decision.&nbsp; They would also help you on what classes to take first and then what to do from there.&nbsp; Next step, is to take action on your own!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">If you want to add on a minor, the first step you would have to take is to go onto the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uml.edu\/\">http:\/\/www.uml.edu\/<\/a> homepage and find the minor you are interested in taking.&nbsp; To do so, you would click on the colleges\/departments on the left side tab on the home page and find it from there.&nbsp; From there, you would find the minor you are interested in taking and find out the courses you have to take in order to be able to declare the minor.&nbsp; After taking those classes, you would go to the registar&#8217;s office and fill out a form to be able to declare into the major.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Usually what people do is declare minors that relate to their major.&nbsp; A lot of criminal justice majors minor in psychology, and lots of health majors minor in nutrition because a lot of the requirements for their minor, also have to be taken for their own major.&nbsp; Might as well knock two birds with one stone while you have the chance!&nbsp; Or if you happen to be a music major but are really interested in business, then you can make it happen, you just got to take action!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day and make sure you attend the beat the system event tonight on Cumnock at 8PM on north campus!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">-Jess<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Students!I hope you guys are&nbsp;taking advantage of the nice weather we have been having lately, especially since it&#8217;s supposed to rain all weekend!&nbsp; But you know what they say!
