Being A College Student

     

   Many students enter college expecting good times, knowledge, friendships, and a new sense of direction. They soon find out that college comes with challenges and struggles because of the great demands and expectations that are put on the importance of education. College students experience a great deal of stress, especially when they are trying to balance a full time job, raise children, and have a social life. The demands of doing many different things with very little time can become overwhelming.
     There are a limited number of students who work full time jobs and attend college full time. Others still work late and get up in the wee hours of the morning trying to fit all of the required tasks of school and work into one day. Students often find themselves more exhausted when they are trying to schedule tasks, because there just does not seem to be enough time in one day. Putting in long hours and worrying about class schedules adds stress to a student life.
    There are so many projects and assignments that a college student should do. College students find very little time to enjoy extracurricular activities. Even if they attend any major school functions, games, or dating, they will regret not getting the term paper done that was due the following day or week. Many students begin to feel pressure that often leads to depression and social isolation. There is only limited time for us to enjoy because there are some important things that we should do first. 
    A college student should budget their time so that they can do all the things that are required and also have time to enjoy. But some college students experienced financial problem so that they will stop studying and begin to look for a job so that they can coninue studying on college when they have money .
   Being a college student is very hard but enjoy. Because studying in college will help us to have better future that we want to have. Study hard so we can plan for our better future.

Why I Love Kpop ?

             

                    

       Kpop is addictive, thats why from the songs, the boybands, the girlgroups, the variety shows, the dramas, the movies, well basically everything that have to do with kpop is addictive. Kpop is different. you can’t compare them to American pop or jpop or whatsoever, the kpop music is something that unique and fresh. Its full of surprise. You will never get bored. Kpop songs generally are very catchy and upbeat. Both these aspects have tendencies to stay with people whether they like it or not. Not only are the lyrics catchy, the dances are choreographed to fit the song perfectly and the artists bring together their different personalities and share them with the fans.

       The choruses in most Kpop songs tend to be very repetitive and pretty simple to sing along to. This inadvertently helps people to remember the lyrics even if they don’t know anything about the Korean language. If after hearing a song for the first time you don’t have an instant liking towards it, once a part of that song gets stuck in your head, be it the lyrics, the beat or both, you might as well admit defeat, because no matter what, after a while you will end up liking the song, maybe even loving it.

    I Love Kpop because even if I dont understand what they are saying or singing, I can relate to them.I love their songs, their styles and the choreograph of every songs. Korean artists have unique musical and performance styles, which are new and fresh. Their performance are very colorful that I really enjoyed. They have this white skin that make them handsome. I also love their styles, what they are wearing everyday. 

   I also never thought i will ended up being a fan, because what I love before is American music. But one day, one of my classmates encourage me to listen Korean songs. And now i ended up being a kpop fan as a whole. 

   Kpop is different, its addictive. Once you fall for them, you cant turn back, seriously. 

Pest In Radish

Root Maggot

Characteristics: The radish root maggot can be a particularly rude pest in the vegetable garden. These pale larvae tunnel through the root flesh of many root crops, leaving unsightly, slimy brown trails. Members of the mustard family, including radish and turnip, are most often affected. This damage isn’t visible until the crop is harvested and prepared. Wilting of the foliage may be seen before harvest.

Control:

   Once your radish or turnip crop has been damaged, there is nothing you can do to save it. At this point, pull all the plants and throw them away. Don’t compost them because the maggots will complete their life cycle in your compost pile and be ready to infest the next crop. The best control is prevention. 

Aphids

Characteristics: Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects. They are often found in large colonies on the undersurface of leaves. A colony consists of winged and wingless adults and various sizes of nymphs. Aphids may be black, yellow or pink, but mostly are various shades of green. Aphids feed by sucking plant sap. Saliva injected while feeding may carry plant viruses or may be toxic to the host plant. Feeding by large numbers discolors foliage, curls leaves, and damages developing buds. The plants may be covered by a sticky substance, honey dew, which is excreted by the aphids.

Control:

  Apply recommended materials when aphids are numerous.  If you only find a few aphids, squish them or break off infested leaves and remove them from the garden. Both organic and synthetic insecticide sprays are available to control aphids.

Cutworms

Characteristics: They are the larvae of several noctuid moths species that cut through the stems of young plants. Robust and grayish larvae as long as 5 cm remain buried at the base of the plant during the day. Roots closer to the ground surface may suffer occasional damage. Some species will preferably feed on the leave.

Control:

   Treatment with insecticides is only effective if the larvae are very small (under 2.5 cm) and soil conditions are favourable. If damage is isolated to a small patch or field border area, spot treatments are recommended. Apply insecticide treatments late in the day. In many cases the level of damage is not high enough to warrant insecticide treatments.

Diseases in Radish

Scab

Cause: Bacteria

Symptom: Brown-yellow circular lesions on roots; sunken, cracked lesions which maybe irregular in shape .

Scientific Name: Streptomyces scabies

Management:

  Management of scab is very difficult; Rotate crops to non-host for four years; Maintain a high level of soil moisture; Avoid increasing soil pH through soil amendments.

 BLACK ROOT

Cause: Fungus

Symptom: Small black-blue areas on roots which expand and girdle taproot; roots become constricted at site of lesions; black discoloration extends into root.

Scientific Name: 

Management:

  Plant resistant radish varieties; rotate crops with non-brassica species.

White Rust

Cause: Fungus

Symptom: White pustules in cotyledon, leaves, stems and/or flowers in which coalesce to form large areas of infection; leaves may roll and thicken.

Management:

  Rotate crops; plant only disease-free seed; apply appropriate fungicide if disease becomes a problem.

Radish

The radish (Raphanus sativus) is an edible root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family that was domesticated in Europe in pre-Roman times.They are grown and consumed throughout the world. Radishes have numerous varieties, varying in size, color and duration of required cultivation time. There are some radishes that are grown for their seeds; oilseed radishes are grown, as the name implies, for oil production. Radish can sprout from seed to small plant in as little as 3 days.

The descriptive Greek name of the genus Raphanus (ῥάφανος) means "quickly appearing" and refers to the rapid germination of these plants. Raphanistrum, from the same Greek root, is an old name once used for this genus. The common name "radish" is derived from Latin radix (root).

Growing radish plants

Radishes grow best in full sun and light, sandy loams with pH 6.5–7.0 They are in season from April to June and from October to January in most parts of North America; in Europe and Japan they are available year-round due to the plurality of varieties grown.
Summer radishes mature rapidly, with many varieties germinating in 3–7 d
