Opinion Editorial

I liked the Opinion Editorial, mostly because it taught me how to write a paper properly. I know I have said this in class a lot but I really liked having due dates because it forced me to write the essay on time and then I had loads of time to edit. I think before I would write the essay sometimes early and then I wouldn't look at it again. This forced me to write rewrite and edit I feel like it made my paper a lot better!

I think this will really benefit me for the rest of the course!

I really liked the peer review sessions that we did. I liked the input I got, I also liked reading it aloud to them, because it made me visualize my readers more! The way that we are writing this essay step by step is making me like writing essays! Because It is easier to do it step by step then to procrastinate until the night before the essay is due and hash it all out. This is really helping me! I also hope that I was of some use to Taylor and future peers that I review their papers for!

Trust In Provo

Ok so my blog post today is inspired by my apartment shopping that I did tonight. I went south of campus because that is where I have heard the single life is the best, so I am south of campus shopping and all the lease offices are closed because it was about 8 o'clock at night. My friend says that we should knock on peoples doors and see if they let us in. So we go to the Elms and knock on a random apartments and ask if we can look around. They said yes and let us have free rein; they didn't escort us around they were just like, "Yeah sure no problem look around and let me know if i can answer any questions you have." Translate in my head "Yeah sure no problem come in, look at my stuff, take whatever and let me know if you need help finding my jewelry."

This is so intersting and irresponsible to me! The trust on this campus is scary! People need to realize that things get stolen, people get hurt in the real world outside of the "bubble." I think that it's great we feel safe here but people will and do take advantage of that mindset.

I could have easily taken so many things tonight from peoples apartments (creepy thought)! At other colleges they don't just let people in to "take a look around." I was amazed at how trust is so prevalent that I think it is an issue! I don't know what to do about it, but this is just what was on my mind!

Get Ready for it!

So I have decided to go with my free T-Shirt idea! I know some (including myself) were worried that I wouldn't have enough to write about but I going to attempt it, because my best papers are my most light-hearted papers!

Ok so free T-shirts! My object in writing this essay is to convince students to go to events for free t-shirts because they make someone look involved in their community and they also add to a comfy wardrobe. It is also to convince the people running these events to endorse the event by making free t-shirts. I have tons of free t-shirts that I love to wear everyday! They are modest and make a good layer to any weather of the season. These are the shirts that you don't mind getting dirty! The way to get an event populated is to make a flier advertising that there will be free t-shirts at the event!

This is what I have so far, way in the beginning stages!

What to write about?!

Brainstorming is the hardest step in the paper writing process for me! I feel lost when I am sitting at my desk with my laptop on microsoft word and watching the line keep blinking! I want something amazing to come out of my head and onto that paper, something that people read and think, "Wow what an amazing perspective." Unfortunely this rarely happens, maybe with this paper it will start to change!

Ok so brainstorming! I am just going to try something new and put my complete thought process in this post. Possiblities for my paper based on intersets would be: fencing, horses, movies, free-shirts, Taylor Swift, Jack Johnson, the middle east, etc. Which one of these would make a good paper if any of them? I guess the middle east is a pretty broad topic, I want to travel there so bad to expereince the place. I have read so many books on the middle east particually Palestine. What would my opinion be though? I love the idea of traveling there so everyone should? That seems lame. I hate writing papers on big debates, especially political ones like abortion or immigration. I want something that is me.

I like the idea of free T-shirts. If anyone wants me anywhere just tell me there is gonna be a free T-shirt. Seriously at one of the BYU football games it was pouring rain and my friend and I stood in line to get one because it was free and it was a T-shirt! It is such a good way to get a crowd at and event! Could my essay be long enough with that prompt? Seems like I still have a lot of thinking to do before next Friday!

What do to what to do!

I want to do so many things with my life! Occupational wise I want to be a Nurse and work in the ICU or a burn treatment center. My dream is to work or volunteer on one of the US naval like USS Mercy, where the ship goes around the world administering medical care to countries that can’t afford care. The staff of the ship also teaches local doctors and nurses the latest in medical care. Being a part of something like that has always attracted me and I know that it would not only make a difference to the people but also on me. I also want to be mom at some point in my life when I am better situated and more mature and have had a career experience. I think I would be a good mom; I am patient, loving, and responsible.
