Name: Elliot Smith
Age: 18
Position: Freshman College Student
Major: Computer Science
Goals: Start off his college
career being organized and on top of his assignments.
Elliot Smith is a first year college student, studying computer science at the University of South Carolina. From Virginia, he attended a small high school in his hometown, where teachers were on top of each student and very helpful to make sure they submit their work on time. Now as a freshman at a big university, he has to adjust to a new environment with different learning procedures and professors with different teaching styles. While scared about his upcoming workload and lifestyle adjustment, he is determined to stay organized and successful upon completing his first year of college.
Elliot’s biggest struggle in high school was remembering deadlines for assignments. Without his high school teachers here to constantly remind him, he is scared that it will be his downfall that keeps him from reaching his goal. He hopes to find some sort of program where he can clearly receive notifications for each class assignment with proper organization and priorities. If he does, there should be nothing in his way of having an awesome first year at USC.
Name: Chad Powers
Age: 22
Position: Senior College Student
Major: Business Administration
Goals: Stay up to date on assignments that are about to be due.
Chad Powers is in his senior year of college and is studying Business Administration at Penn State University. With graduation upon him at the end of the semester he has started to checkout from his classes and is just trying to get through his final semester. He has found it difficult to pay attention in his classes so far and isn’t sure when any of his assignments are due. Chad wishes there was an easy way to get notifications for assignments that are due in 2 days, 1 day, and that day as well as notifications for upcoming tests. This would ensure that at the very least that he wouldn’t miss any assignments or tests. Until then, Chad is extremely worried that he will not see assignments and be unprepared for tests. He doesn’t want to fail a class and jeopardize his graduation.
Name: Joffrey Jingleheimer
Age: 20
Position: Third Year College Student
Major: Anthropology
Goals: Stay up to date on anthropology classes while not being bothered by any of his electives.
Joffrey Jingleheimer is a third year college student studying anthropology at Habilis College. He is an extremely dedicated student who likes to get all of his coursework done ahead of time. Unfortunately, this year Joffrey was forced to take three electives (interpretive fishing, impersonal finance, and calculus) and he’s found it difficult to wade through the notifications for these classes while maintaining his commitment to his true love, anthropology. Joffrey wishes that there was some app or extension that would allow him to filter his notifications based on classes, and a way to rank priorities of said classes. Until then, Joffrey will be doomed to catch fish to the tune of choir hymns before turning in his essay on human evolution.
