What Should we do when we have an internal battle between what's right and what should be done?

We have all passed through this stage , where you have your morals , principles tested about doing what is right and doing what should be done. It is strange really because we usually take the easy way out and do what should be done , in some situation we look at the greater good and in others we try to value which will get us in less trouble. But we miss the most important point, Principles are made to be as reference point for us like a beacon so as not to walk in the wrong direction . At the same time we cannot ignore the fact that we as human beings are emotional , we may try to bend our principles over for some emotional fact that we need to feed or for the need of the feeling that we are not just machines who abide by certain rules. I believe that sometimes most of us bend or break their principle at least once or twice during their life time for the above two reasons. It is not a shame in-fact that's what makes us humans, but the most important questions is How far are yo

The Three Musketeers Who Created The TakeoffApps

I was sitting in my room Managing the Newcomers 31- GUC Facebook group when I saw a post that grasped my full attention , you see I was trying for the past two weeks to establish something like a student book with the aid of insider and some GUC friends so that whenever a newcomer enter the GUC he would just surf the book and all the information is there , but then I saw this post on the group " The GUC Student Hand Book by Takeoffapps ". Someone has actually made it , someone put an effort and created finally a student handbook for the university and it even gets better ; the moment you open the link you see the effort of the three brilliant talented founders of Takeoffapps , they included almost every aspect about the GUC from terminology to GUC goes Berlin which was established only 1 year ago and has been since a great attraction to the newcomers before the enrolled the students. For almost two months I have been trying with the aid of every student in the GUC to answe

The Reason Behind banning politics in the GUC.

The reason behind banning politics in the GUC or any other university is quite simple and don't need a genius to figure it out, Politics bring problems due to the face that the students will take side in terms of political groups which will lead to demonstrations like for some political groups against others like what is happening now exactly leading to the disturbing of the academic life and more over hatred and aggression possibility between students from opposing political group which could and will lead to undoubted confrontation between both parties and will lead to violence at the end that may hurt some students physically and maybe worse. The whole idea is that the universities are the places for learning and research and the participation and creation of social , academic activities in all it's categorize but not politics . Those activities build the character and personality of the student over the course of his study at the university and if some students have a po

How to manage your time in college effectively??? (Part 3)

College is all about building your personality and enhancing your character and be able to gain real life experiences but how can you manage your time effectively in it to gain the most benefit?!!. In the last two articles we mentioned some time management points, now there is an important point that needs to be addressed. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES or ACTIVE WORKING GROUPS (AWG). This topic is really important for every student in every faculty in every field . Participating in social activity or in any AWG that interest you is really important for almost all students, and the reason for that is the fact that you gain access to interaction with people from different point of views and gain real life experience. If we took the MUN activity at the GUC for example, it is one of the prestigious activities that are held every year and give the student more chance to research into global politics and to understand how the world is moving around him and to be able to make decisions based on the in

The Voice of the GUC students

Long ago since the university have been established  students have suffered from problems academically and socially including the organization of events and arranging it with university administrations and students seek along road to solve these problems and somehow be able to reach their objectives plus academic problems related to courses  The most important aspect is the academic problems lying in unorganized course In a way in which their is no linkage between the lecture and the tutorial that the professor is explaining something  and that the TA. Is explaining something else . Also the problem of having unskilled TAs in a course in which students suffer from attending with him/her so he or she end up attending with the best TA in the course and suffer from the attendance issue is that he or she has to attend in their own tutorial or they will get no attendance which present the fact the there is no fairness fos someudents which raises the question about the criteria of choosing t
