Research Paper

I feel like the group research paper is going well. We all work together and get along. I'm excited about the topic we chose. I believe that we have good information to make a valid argument for and against college degrees. There is a lot of information on the internet and in magazines and newspapers that talk about the economy.  There are many biases about college degrees, so we have different extremist opinions, which will hopefully provide good arguments. I feel like this topic will make a good research paper. The economy is a huge topic, and as college students, we need to know what is going to be a good career.  We need to understand what could be potentially harmful and helpful when searching for jobs.

Cereal

I have never really eaten much for breakfast. Sometimes I drink some juice or milk and maybe I'll eat a granola bar. As of late, though, I have become slightly addicted to sugary cereals. Before I came to college,my mom took me out to get food to have in my dorm. I got an assortment of cereals...I think there were around thirty small boxes. There are healthy cereals and the not so healthy cereals. I enjoy the healthy ones. I do like raisin bran and mini wheats and corn flakes, but I LOVE fruit loops and...well, that's the one that I really love. I wish there were cocoa puffs, because that would be even better. Nothing is better than chocolate cereal :-)

Grades

It is a well-known fact that I am too hard on myself.  When it comes to grades, I always think that I should be doing better...even if I get an A.  It's really ridiculous to put all of that stress on myself, but that's just how I am.  Teachers have been announcing the class averages on different exams, and at times, I am absolutely appalled. When an average is 79% and teachers say that everyone did a good job, I get kind of mad.  To me, anything below an 85% is unacceptable...even if I don't study.  There are times when I know I did poorly on a test, and I expect it.  Even when I know that a test was difficult and half of the questions didn't make sense, I still should have done better.  There used to be a time when I didn't care about grades so much...I used to throw away my homework and not pay attention in class. Now, I think I take school too seriously.
