Thoughts and expectation for college writing class

     After further reviewing the syllabus am expecting to further my skills in communication through text and improve my writing. Furthermore, talking about various topics helps expand my perspective on many topics. Not only will I be challenged about my opinion on topics, but also how it will be interpreted and conveyed through writing. I will learn various methods to help send messages to the reader and perhaps let them see a different angle to a subject. To add on I will get various help from the writing center and students to review my work and give criticism in order to see the flaws and potential improvements to my piece. And to learn lessons that I would have never thought about.

college challenge

      I have been doing well in college so far. But the one thing that sticks out the most and has challenged me is time management. Not in the sense of being all around the campus and doing homework until the last second, but deciding what to fill it with. My schedule has been blocked out with classes for each day and times of practice, potential work hours, and studying. However, I found it so difficult to incorporate other things like club opportunities because some of the times class with each other. Or finding time to lift because homework is due still. Nonetheless, its a constant trial-and-error run for me and slowly but surely I'm improving upon it.

Cardinal search was quite a useful tool for me, as it made my research paper easier to create with its available sources. Initially, I felt overwhelmed as I had no idea how to filter through the various sources. Time was limited and I had activities outside of school that kept me preoccupied. Although the search engine made it significantly find sources to strengthen my paper. It made the process much smoother as I found specific sources with the conditions I needed to earn the points needed. Enabling different filters on the search engine made sorting through different types of journals/sources easier, rather than spending most of my time through Google Scholar and finding sources that were either not as useful or had no correlation. More importantly, the recommendations I was given continuously furthered and gratefully supplemented my research in reinforcing my points. Incredibly I understood my topic greatly and understood both sides clearly. I can confidently say Cardinal Search ha...

Addiction

       I have been keeping track of my thrifting purchasing and the lack of space that continues to grow. To give some context, my dorm is already filled with my clothes, and have exhausted the space for extra space for clothing. At this point, I resorted to selling and swapping articles of clothing each time I went back home for the week. On the bright side though, I've grown and explored many more different styles now. With the minor but also a major drawback of my checking account tanking down at a steady rate. Fingers won't be pointed but I will say that my mom is also a shopaholic, and in my defense, she influences my purchases every week on our son and mother's excursion to the thrift stores. If worse comes to worse then I will ask Goodwill to have ban me from their vicinity until I'm financially stable again.
