In this meeting, Olivia and I talked about my final draft of project 1. This paper was peer reviewed, and I had looked over it many times. With Olivia, I read the paper out loud, and we discussed several portions in the paragraphs. I even found some things to edit after reading the to someone …
I went to a SASC workshop about Success in Chem. In this workshop, the presenter talked mostly about study habits and time management relating to Chemistry. While this was helpful, it was not necessarily what I was expecting. I was able to learn more about time management and study habits, and even filled out a …
For this activity, my friends and I went to a Zumba class. This was at 6:30pm and was about an hour. During this time, I had fun with my friends as we danced to early 2000s era songs. I have never done Zumba before, so it was a new experience for me. I also didn’t …
This event was called “Cracking the Zip Code: Decoding Environmental Justice” and was a zoom event. I was unable to go to the event live due to overlap in class, but I was able to watch the recording from my dorm room. My Intro to Environmental Issues professor sent out the zoom link for people …

A text-to-text connection I made between Bain and Ungar’s article was in Bain’s first section, “They believe that if you want to do well in an increasingly specialized world, you must concentrate on a single area and become an expert in that field,” (pg. 200). This is a misperception that Ungar specifically argues against in …
While making this goal list, I found it easier to add in goals for near term rather than long term. In this stage of college, everything is new, and I could think of a lot of things I wanted to try and explore. Most of my ideas started with academic, because I am more focused …
Misperception #1 “A liberal-arts degree is a luxury that most families can no longer afford. “Career education” is what we must focus on now,” (paragraph 3). This misperception states that people are worried about the financial commitment that comes with paying for a liberal arts degree if it offers no clear-cut job by the end …
Pre-Reading: Based on the title, “Critical Thinking and the Liberal Arts”, I believe that the article is going to be on the subjects, critical thinking and liberal arts. Underneath the title, there is a statement: “We neglect them at our peril.” Reading this, I assume that the article will highlight the reasons why people should …
