Freshman 15

I do not believe in the freshman 15. Since I have been in college I have lose 10 lbs and am still going down. It is so easy to eat healthy on campus. Sure it is easy to eat poorly as well but there are so many good opportunities to eat well. There is also an amazing rec center which makes it so easy to work out. At home I could only eat what was in my refrigerator and could be microwaved. There for I ate very unhealthy. I just believe that with a little self control the freshman 15 can easily turn into the freshman -15.

Colts

The main thing I want to stress is the amount of injured players for the colts this year. It is a huge problem for the colts this year and is really disabling them from being the best they can be. Just to name a few of the colts that did not practice this last Wednesday are Joseph Addia, Gary Brackett, Austin Collie (Hit really really hard in the last game), Dwight Freeney, Mike Hart, Robert Mathis, Bob Sanders, Clint Sessions, and 7 other players. All that is left is Peyton Manning and he needs to do better than he normally does. For us to have a good season he will have to be the league MVP with amazing stats to end the year.

What to be for Halloween?

This year I have been thinking what to be for Halloween. I was first thinking of being a pirate and for our party down stairs for my dorm. The pirate costume was a little tight and extremely uncomfortable. I decided that I did not want to wear that all night. I then decided on being a nerd. So now I am rushing around trying to put stuff together and looking for things to wear. I believe by the end of the night tonight I will be nerded out and ready to go out.

research process #2

So far the research process is going pretty well. We have all decided on a topic and it is something I believe I can write a lot about. I like the group that I am in and think that it will not be hard at all to talk to them about our topic. I think we have found some good sources that will give us a lot of information. So far the the research process is going great.

Research Process

So far it has been very hard to pick a topic. We have looked at a lot of different things but it is hard to just pick one. I feel like every topic that has been brought up has be shot down by someone else in the group. I believe though that if we keep discussing topics our group will decide on one. I can see myself with the group I am in now and really believe we can get together and all find a topic we all can write about.

College Grades

I left high school thinking I was completely ready for college and that it was just the next step. I still would not say that college is hard but it is hard to get a good grade if that makes sense. I was not very good at tests, even in high school and I would always raise my grade by doing well on all the homework. The test are not impossible but when that is your total grade in many classes it puts a lot of pressure on me to do well. It makes it very hard to succeed in the class if your entire grade is based off of a couple of test. That is my thought on college grading.  

The Dining Plan

I am writing about the dining plan at Ball State because just this morning I went down stairs to eat breakfast at 10:10. I then got all my food and waited in line and that took forever because the line was so long. By the time I got to the front it was past 10:30 and I could no longer get breakfast. The meals plans are set up for you to lose money. The way they should do it is is give us 3 meals a day and we use them as we please. Another way they could do it is just give us an amount of swipes a week. For example, I am on the 18 meal plan. If I use 14 during the week and then am going home for the weekend I should be able to swipe it 4 times before I leave. Instead, when i go home, Ball State just gets that money that I paid for. I am upset because this meal plan is set up for us to lose money and also because i didn't get breakfast this morning.
