Graduation



Hey everyone!

First of all, congratulations to all of the NCC 2020 graduates! I’m sure this is anything but what you imagined when you pictured your college graduation, but alas, here we are. I know how tough it is for everyone who is supposed to be graduating this Spring to realize that they aren’t going to have a ceremony at the end of the semester. I am right there with you. You were not required to go to college. Graduating college was a choice you made to better yourself and brighten your future. I know that your friends and family are proud of that choice, and want to celebrate with you.

So, my question is, what will you be doing to celebrate your graduation in May, without hosting a huge get together? A Zoom party? Making a candlelight dinner with your significant other? Having a friend over for drinks and to reminisce? Whatever it is you’re doing, I’d love to hear about it. Please share your ideas in the comments for those not so creatively inclined. Share your plans, your ideas, and whatever else you’d like to share. If you’re having a zoom party, feel free to share your meeting room ID if you’d like. Let’s celebrate together, even though we’re apart.

And most importantly, congratulations on graduating from NCC, class of 2020!

Staying Organized

With the transition to online learning, staying organized is going to be difficult. Here are three quick tips to keeping yourself organized with this new platform! 1. Keep a Planner When you’re working from home, it can be easy to forget what time, day, or even week it is. Keeping a planner and updating it daily is vital for keeping track of due dates and schedules. When you don’t have a regular class schedule, it’s important to keep a planner so that you know when your Zoom meetings are, when your assignments are due, and how that fits in with the rest of your schedule. There are so many online planner resources if you prefer to do it on your phone or computer; otherwise, Amazon has excellent planner options as well. 2. Continue to Use a School Bag I know it sounds kind of strange to use a bag when you’re staying home all day, but hear me out. If you still keep all of your stuff in your bag, not only have you contained the mess of schoolwork that you have, but y...

Making a plan and adjusting your studying may help you feel even a little sense of control.” I recommend you take a few minutes to read through more of this document by clicking  here .

Mackenzie Murphy on "Snacks for Those Who Have Our Backs"

I've always been someone who has been involved in the community. I have always had a passion for making a difference and giving back to those in need. Much of my involvement and love for serving others, stems from the way I was raised. I am one of six kids, with the last three of us having been adopted. My mom is a retired nurse and worked for the State of NH, so I was raised with foster children and teenagers living with us for much of my childhood. Through the years, I have learned to never judge a book by its cover, to always help out those who may need a helping hand and make sure I give back to those who give so much, as my parents have been shining examples throughout my life. Through my involvement, I have served on many different community boards and organizations and tried to lend a hand whenever I saw the opportunity. However, I always felt like I wasn't doing "enough" and wanted to make a bigger impact. The perfect moment came when I was on a Zoom ca...
