In the past 8 weeks I think my progress on my essays are getting better and I’m learning about what mistakes I made on my last essays. Plus essay number two was interesting to write about. It was also kinda a little hard because we had to make it argumentative. I’m improving my essays by going over the mistakes that the professor wrote down on my paper makes me realize what I need to work on more. Writing Journals are also really helpful for our essays. My focus for my last essays are to make sure to make as little mistakes as possible. Also, typing our mistakes and improvements in the Xl sheet are helpful too because when I make a mistake on my essay I can look it up online of what the rules are for the mistakes I made. Giving my paper to other classmates can also help me improve and give me feedback on what I can improve on. My classmates and professor are very useful when it comes to looking over my essay because that would mean I would get more than one persons perspective.  Also, letting people read my essays out of the classroom is good because they might see mistakes that my professor or my classmate didn’t catch or they could give other advice for my essay. Getting help from the writing center has helped me alot. I like how the writing center helps me on your essays. They can help students with their essays or projects. Lots of students thought it seemed it was helping them so that’ why I started going there and kept going for my essays. Overall, my progress in UNIV150 is going pretty good and I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot from the past 8 weeks. In my opinion I think I’ve improved on my essays.

Journal #6

A dream that I had recently was that I thought I missed my eight a.m. class. I was freaking out in my dram and I was asking myself if I should still go or not. I just didn’t know what to do. I woke up at five a.m and realized I was dreaming , but somehow my brain was telling me that I still missed my class. Then I went back to sleep and I was still thinking about it non stop, But eventually I fell asleep. I realized that a dream can also make me worry about something even though it’s not real.

Journal #7

My Favorite room in my house would be the family room or my bedroom. The family room is one of my favorites because that’s where we have family movie nights or family game nights. Also, for some reason, we talk a lot in the family room. My bedroom is also my favorite room in my house because that’s where I get privacy and where I can go if I need to get my homework done. Sometimes if it’s too loud downstairs, I just go to my room for some quiet time. In addition, I get an advantage or quietness because my room is in the third floor.

Journal #8

Something that I do well is getting my homework done as early as possible. I try to get my homework done the day the teacher assigns it. Getting my homework done early would mean that I don’t have to worry about it the next day. Also, I wouldn’t have to worry over the weekend. Getting the habit of getting homework done early it’s a good strategy. In college students will get a lot of homework, so the earlier they get the habit of doing their homework early .

Journal #9

The best lesson my parents taught me was always say, please and thank you” and to use table manners wherever I go. They told me if people say please and thank you, People would think that they were taught good manners when they were younger. Also, it’s polite to always say people and thank you. The other lesson my parents taught me was to use my table manners. My parents would make sure we were using our manners when we ate dinner, especially in restaurants. For example, I didn’t know putting your napkin in the plate when you were done is considered as rude. 

Journal #10

The qualities that make a best friend are someone that people can trust, tells secrets to, and are always there. Finding a best friend can be hard. Sometimes they won’t know the person they choose would be their best friend. To me having a best friend(s) means that they are always there for them. People who have best friends usually hang out all the time and they do also everything together. Having a best friend also means getting through their ups and downs forgiving each other.
