Core graduation requirements for all majors at MIT are two semesters of college calculus and calculus-based physics, and one semester each of chemistry and biology. Unlike high school students, you've had one or two years in the adult world to take charge. The extra-curricular activities don't stop with high school. Make your job something to brag about. Seek out specialized duties or a managerial position to make up for the time (and money) you don't have to spend organizing bake sales for away football games. Don't lose your passions. Were you great at an instrument in high school? A star track runner? Keep it up. MIT is about contributing to the global community--not just about good grades.

Problem: Article: This is to make sure your parents are asleep. If you want, you can go to their room and double-check they're sleeping. If they are not and ask what you're doing, say you heard something strange. If not, keep doing things quietly in your room, but if your parent(s) lock their doors, carefully try to hear through the door. If it's quiet they're probably asleep. If not, stay 15 to 30 minutes in your room, and check again for silence. Line towels against the crack of your door to block out the light. Once your parents are asleep, stay up. It should be late at night (10:00-12:00 am). Get out the PSP, PlayStation, Wii, Switch, Vita, computer, DS, 3DS, whatever game you plan to play. Use headphones or earphones for electronics. Putting earphones/headphones in your laptop/computer will keep things quiet. A new day has come (12:00-2:00 am)! If you are hungry, eat a snack, or drink something. Continue playing the same game until you are bored. At about (2 - 4 am), early morning, try something different like reading a book, drawing, watching a movie (quietly!). Go onto Facebook, or create a Facebook account. Make sure none of your parents friends are friends with you on Facebook; they might tell your parents. Make sure everything you do remains at low volume. If you are going to text, put the phone's volume on silent or vibrate. This will make it less likely that your phone wakes up your parents. Between (4:00-6:00 am), early morning, have another snack. Keep doing whatever kept you awake most until 5 am. Next, move on to the morning tasks. Take a shower, get dressed, brush your teeth and hair, and tidy up the room again for the day. If the household typically wakes up between 6:00-9:00 am, stay inside your room until then. Do some puzzles or read a book, until it's the time you'd usually be up and about the house. That will mark the end of your all-night up!
Summary: Wait about an hour before moving around. Turn your light on to a dim setting. Prepare to have fun. Enjoy midnight. Change to another activity. Eat something. Wait for your usual wake up time.

Problem: Article: There are a lot of poems focused on the theme of death, grief, or sympathy that are appropriate for funerals. Think about whether the deceased person had any favorite poets or specific poems. Pick one that reflects the deceased person and their passions or personality. You could also write your own short poem about the person if you want to express your own emotions. If you don't have room to include an entire poem, use 1 or 2 of the most meaningful lines from the piece instead. Choose a phrase that the person who passed away was known for, as long as it's appropriate for the occasion. For example, you could use what Grandma Jane said every time she put a pie in the oven: "Everything tastes better with love!" Only use quotes or phrases that most people will be familiar with. Avoid inside jokes that only you know. If the famous phrase includes curse words or something inappropriate, or if it could offend someone in the audience, don't include it. If you have something you want to say to the person who passed, use the eulogy as an opportunity to share it. Keep it to 2 to 3 sentences and make sure it contains a message that the rest of the audience can relate to. For example, now is not the time to tell Grandma Jane that you stained her good apron. Instead, say something like, "Grandma, I'll miss your blueberry pie, but more than that, I'll miss the way you used to hug me when I was sad or how your laugh was the best sound in the world. I can't wait to see you again one day." Look up towards the sky while you address the person to feel more connected to their spirit. If religion was a big part of their life and beliefs, incorporate it into your eulogy by ending with a quote from a spiritual leader or a passage from a religious text. For example, if they were Christian, you might use a Bible verse as the final sentence. You could also end the eulogy with a brief prayer in the deceased person's honor. Only include themes that you're comfortable with. If you didn't share the same beliefs as the person who passed, choose a different way to end your eulogy.
Summary:
Recite a short poem if the person who passed away loved poetry. End with a quote from the deceased if they had a famous saying. Address the deceased person directly for an extra emotional ending. Use words of faith if the deceased person was religious.
