Whether it’s fueling up before starting your day or taking a mid-day snack break to avoid the 2 o’clock lull, high-protein snacks are the tastiest way to keep on going. Protein snacks are the perfect way to fill up just enough, and give us longer-lasting energy than the usual, carb-heavy options.

♥ Video/Audio Editing Headphones
What are some of the best headphones you can get for your home recording studio? There are so many brands and models out there it’s hard to choose between them all. In the Interactive Media Design program you’ll use headphones a lot for editing video and audio. Here are some of the best headphones I think are best:...

♥ Choosing a Path
As I’m approaching my last year of college at MPTC, it seems like everybody wants to know what my post-college plans are. It’s an intriguing question, one I’m sure college seniors everywhere have been asking themselves....
♥ Brain Power
I think I was crazy growing up with all of the activities I was involved in and never needing to take a nap. Like working 50+ hours a week and going to school wasn’t enough, I still made time to hit the gym and hang out with friends all night....
♥ Highly Rated Books
My favorite type of book is one that inspires me to reach the top. One that will teach me the ins and outs of success and the strength to never give up on my dreams. My dad was the one who actually got me into reading these, and I’m really glad he did. I hope that all of you students at MPTC and anyone else reading these blogs will find time for some inspirational reading. Fearless, Designed for Success, and Thank You Power are just a few of my favorites that I know you’ll enjoy as well!...
♥ Picking a class that’s right for you
Fall classes will be starting soon and there are a few classroom environments you’ll be able to pick from with some of your classes. Most colleges offer classes in a classroom or online, but telepresence was new for me when I came to Moraine Park....
♥ Time Management
How good are you at managing your time? For me, I’m the worst when it comes to checking things off of my to-do list. Having work, school, and traveling most weekends, it’s hard to manage my time wisely. I have to write down a lot of things that need to get done so I have a constant reminder what should be doing. Here are some time management ideas for school or just your daily life:...
♥ Student Orientation
Summer classes are coming to an end and it’s time to start preparing for the fall! I’m excited to get back into the groove of school and connecting with my fellow classmates again.

I was never one that wanted to go to a big university. Intimidated by large classes and lecture halls....

I’m going to graduate with talents in web design, print design, video and audio editing, etc. I’ll be able to photograph beautifully and create compelling pieces. And all of that is so important in a messy economy like ours....

We're trying to accomplish something.”Thomas Edison...
♥ Three Strikes You're Out!
Last week I went to a Timber Rattlers game. It was a perfect sunny evening for baseball. When I lived in Michigan you had to drive quite a ways to do anything like this. Any chance I have to get out of the house and do something fun I’ll take it!...
♥ Employment Tips
With
it being summer time there are a lot of students looking for jobs or
internships. I’ve had and given a lot of interviews, so I thought I would share
some tips on setting up your resume and preparing yourself for an interview! On Resumes and Cover Letters...
♥ Creative Study
Even though my program doesn’t require you to take tests I still had a time in my life where I did. There have been many occasions where I could hardly study for a test anymore. I drove myself crazy memorizing facts and reading thick, picture-less textbooks. But it didn’t have to drag....
♥ Home Is Where The Heart Is
I had a wonderful memorial day weekend back in my hometown, Escanaba Michigan. I spent a lot of time in the woods and down by the water. It’s definitely a peaceful place to be and a great getaway. I recommend visiting upper Michigan sometime in your life if you haven’t already!...

Fear of Not Mattering...
♥ Downtime – What I Do Offline To Recharge.
Are you stressed? Technology is everywhere now. With my
program being all computer based and having a smartphone, I spend from the
moment I open my eyes in the morning until I close them again at night online.
My phone is constantly in my hand and my computer is never far behind....
♥ What Am I Doing This Summer?
People ask me this question a lot and I always have the answer, work! I have always worked really hard my whole life, leaving myself with little free time....
♥ Dear Interactive Media Design
Before starting Interactive Media Design, my knowledge of the program was limited. I came into this with an open mind, hoping that what I had to offer was enough. That I wouldn't be sitting in the back of a room struggling through my classes, because of my lack of experience with drawing and Adobe software. Anyone who knows me will tell you I can be hard on myself and still need to work on, “tooting my own horn.” Well, this was one of those times....
♥ Quote of the Week
“What is success?...
♥ Hannah Rice: Your New Student Blogger!
I just wanted to introduce myself, Hannah Rice, your new student blogger. This is my fourth year in college, but my first year here at MPTC. I received an associates degree in Business Management and another in Marketing at a community college in upper Michigan with the obvious question most college students ask themselves, “What do I do next?”...
