Chart your basal body temperature (BBT). You need to buy a basal thermometer. A glass one costs about $5, but you have to wait 5 minutes before you get out of bed.

Once you have one, you should start taking your temp each morning at the same time, before you do any activity (speak, move around, get up, etc.).

In some cases, going to a more expensive college, may actually cost less in actual out of pocket expenditures. This is because many expensive colleges have more funds to help students.

Unsuccessful applications are welcomed to be resubmitted. This should be done via advising the secretariat, in writing, of your request for a resubmission.
