Challenges and experiences throughout College



The transition from high school to college seems super scary, especially considering the fact that I went to a high school of 213 students. I chose North Central for a reason, it was close, small, and very good academically and athletically. I wanted to make the transition as minimal as possible and I think it worked. Now although class sizes may be slightly bigger than high school, it is nowhere near how I envisioned college being like, these class sizes are rather small compared to what I expected. 
        
            The classwork can be a lot, but as long as you stay on top of it and don't procrastinate, college can be rather fun and easier than I thought. So far, it has been difficult, but I think college is going okay, and I am sure when track season comes around, time is going to absolutely fly. Time flew by so fast throughout High School because I did 3 sports for all 4 years of my High School tenture, and whenever I was in a season, it went fast because you were always looking forward to when that next game was going to be, and you would be focused. This caused time to go quick as you were focused one game at a time. 

            I think the most difficult thing for me is going to be balancing both track and school. As a student-athlete, there is a lot of academic and athletic pressure on me. This leads to procrastination and overthinking as well, as you want to do good in both. You have to find that balance, and I think that is going to be tough for me to do to begin my collegiate career. However, the more time I am in college, the more experience and time management skills I will gain.

The Greatest Rebuild Of All Time Is Happening Right In Front Of Our Eyes

Image
                The Oklahoma City Thunder currently stand at 14-7, 2nd place in the Western Conference, with a point differential of (+7.2). This just so happens to also be the 3rd best point differential in the NBA, only behind the Celtics and Timberwolves. So what is it about this Thunder rebuild that makes it remarkable? Well, for that, we have to travel all the way back to the summer of 2019. The No. 6 seeded Oklahoma City Thunder were set to match off against the No. 3 seeded Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Quarterfinals in a series that was highly anticipated. The Thunder were still led by their long-tentured all star, Russell Westbrook, and also had an MVP finalist, as well as a D-POY finalist in Paul George on his side. The Thunder were locked and loaded with aspirations of a title in the rear view mirror, and the first team in their way was Portland. Going down 2-0 in the first two games in Portland wasn't ideal for ...

FEELS about my Rational Argument

Image
 There are countless amounts of problems in today's world that I would be more than happy to debate with someone. However, in the case of the Rational Argument, I could only come down to one choice, and I ultimately chose to argue about the risks of screen time usage. I specifically chose to debate about the screen time usage in the younger generation, and how it correlates to higher cognitive problems in the future, as well as obesity problems, and mental health issues as well. In the post-COVID era, almost everything has transitioned online, whether it's ordering food, shopping, or just chatting. Either way, the post-COVID era has encouraged the younger generation to use their phones, computers, and gaming devices more than ever.               The issue at hand here isn't to do with the fact that these people are using the internet, it's the fact that it is becoming an addiction and a daily habit. While we were in the COVID state, everyone ...

My expectations for CARD*101*8

Image
                I am extremely thrilled to be a part of this particular CARD class! There are so many nice people and I can't wait to learn so many exciting things with this group. I absolutely love writing about sports and the modern world, so I am excited to see how this class can help shape me into a better writer grammatically, as well as through critical thinking, and knowledge-making.               My expectations for this class include becoming a better and more interesting writer by fixing up grammatical mistakes, and by also using more interesting words. I hope to obviously pass this class having learned so much, and I will plan to do this by studying to the best of my abilities, taking a ton of notes, as well as reviewing those notes, and also by being very attentive in classes. I look forward to learning so much and can't wait for the real classes to start!      ...
