What I learned about the library

            Throughout my experience here at North Central College, I have always had questions but really didn't know where the correct place to ask them would be. I later found out that the library would be that place for me. Using an entire class day to go visit the library was the best idea ever, it helped me learn how to utilize the website in order to help me find sources, learn new things, and to ultimately get a head start on any research paper with ease. 
            One interesting thing that Laura Cameron taught us throughout our time with her, is the use of key words and phrases. If you want your search results to be more accurate, the best way to do that is through the use of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). 2 ways to express SEO is through the use of key phrases, and more specific questions, with this, comes more concise and accurate answers to your questions. Through the use of SEO, I was able to find the sources I needed, and the answers I wanted. I was able to do this through both the Cardinal Library, and Google itself. 
            With all the ways class could've been held on that specific day, the library was the perfect place for it to have been held. With a paper being due soon, and questions fogging peoples' minds, the library helped with both of those, answering any questions we had, and helping us find sources through the use of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I would rate the library trip a 10/10 and would recommend any North Central student to check it out, whether they have simple questions, or if they just want to see the writing or speaking center. Either way, the library is the place for all of that.

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!      ...
