Next Semester

When I came to the NIU orientation to set up my classes, i made one bad decision that i hope nobody else would ever even considering it. "9 am classes are cool, thats when i usually start, ill be fine"... man was I wrong. Waking up for high school was the worst, always fighting my alarm clock, rolling out of bed, and fighting the urge to sleep everyday. next semester i dont have to wake up until 12 in

the afternoon so i can finally sleep in and enjoy peace and quiet.

Exploratory essay

I had no idea what this essay was really suppose to be about because it was like a research paper but it wasn't at the same time??? After a while i thought i understood what the project was suppose to consist of but when i took it in to class to review it, it ended up being more of a research paper. I took it back and ended up writing about how Africa Americans view Police officers. I got it right just in time to turn it in on time think god, now i just need to work on this eportfolio a little bit now. 

Persuasive Essay Reflection

When my teacher said that we were moving onto the persuasive essay portion of class my head exploded because in my mind there was really nothing interesting about me to tell about. But then i had remember of a story that i could tell but didn't really much like to talk about. I wrote about my mother and the life we had before she died and the life I had after she died. I'm not much of a talker but when i started to write this paper, it was like words started to flow from my head to the paper, it was just so easy for me to talk about it.

Educated

This book is one of the most confusing books i have ever read, first they talk about a daughter and her relationships with different parts of her family, then it fast forward a couple years and im sitting here confused like what just happened. the book wasn't all that bad though, it had there parts, parts that would change her life for the better. I'd give the book Educated at 6/10 because of its confusing storytelling.

midterms

I've had three midterms this week and i have to say, i am drained. i've been studying so hard and stayed up so late just so i can get a get a good grade on my exams. after i checked my grades tho... i've passed with a C and that whole weekend i took the best nap of my life. Maybe when i take my finals and do all my studying for every class and get my grades back, maybe ill go to hibernation but we'll see.

Writing

 I've never knew this about me but i really like to write. I've always thought that writing was hard and i shouldn't bother doing it, but when i started to come to this writing class, i can just write whatever is on my mind. We had to write a 4 page personal essay based on something that is or was personal in your life. I had a tinny heart attack when i heard that it had to be four pages, but while typing out my essay everything started to flow out of my brain and onto the paper, writing that 4 page essay was nothing. Writing is definitely something that i want to do in the future now that i'm confident in writing more.

That college Experience

We're at that time in college where things are starting to go full throttle. All my teachers are throwing quiz's left and right and now talking about EXAMS. Time went by really fast but I knew this would happen because high school has taught me that. If you can stay focus and remember what you are in college for you can make it. I feel that I can finish my first semester strong and get the grades that I need to pass my freshman year, so can you.
