Please Take the Survey

For my persuasive essay, I'm writing about sleep deprivation in college students. I find this to be very interesting due to the fact that many of my friends and myself find themselves up late at night trying to finish homework or study for a test. Sleep deprivation can be extremely dangerous, it can cause a weaken immune system, binge drinking, and of course, car accidents. I'm creating a survey in hopes to see what students from WMU and other Universities have to say about this. So, if you have 5-10 extra minutes and want to help a fellow classmate, head on over to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6WCCVCB  and take the survey. It'll be very helpful and much appreciated.

Class

Today in class we researched our topics for our persuasive essay. I found this to be helpful in terms of making sure that the sources I choose were well written and beneficial to my paper. Being able to finish my Annotated Bibliography in class distressed me because I have a four page paper due Tuesday along with another paper and a sociology test. Although I have started my papers, I feel like there is not enough time in the day or week to finish them.

Silver Bells

This Friday is Silver Bells. I'm so excited because it's seriously the best thing ever. In downtown Lansing they have a Thanksgiving and Christmas parade that people from all over Ingham County go to. After that, everyone heads over to the huge pine tree in front of the capitol to watch the lighting of the "Christmas tree". Then you can either go the flea market to eat and listen to music or go to the town center to have hot cider and cookies and listen to an orchestra. If anyone is in the Lansing area either this year or any other year, I encourage you to go.

Who to Kill...

Today in class we discussed our second project and third project. We had an activity which involved deciding, between 12 people, who to kill off  after a nuclear war. After this, we were split in to two groups and talk about who we thought should stay or who should to die. This activity was to help us with our persuasion essay. I found this to be helpful because sometimes when I'm trying to get my point across and others don't have the same one, I tend to tell them theirs are wrong. This taught me to take in others point of view into consideration.

Spontaneous Trip to Chicago

Friday, my sister, friend Katie and I decided to go to Chicago, simply because we wanted cupcakes. It's only a two and a half hour drive so it's not terrible. There is this cupcake bakery called Sprinkles Cupcakes which is incredibly good. We thought they were only in southern California, so when we found out that there was one located in Chicago we were so excited. Well while we were down there, Psycho was being played at Navy Pier so we attended that.
