Microtheme

 Throughout my writing career, I have always been taught to talk about a conflict, explain it, and solve the problem. I think that everyone is taught to write like that. Even if you do not particularly like writing we always have the urge to solve the problem. But with a Micro theme, you do not want to actually solve the problem, that is not what a micro theme is.

When I was first writing my micro theme I was not sure what my topic should be but I knew that if I wrote about something that truly has an effect on me it would be so much easier for me. So I choose the thing that has affected me the most throughout my academic career, procrastination. And this made the paper so much easier than if I had chosen a different topic. 

Overall I actually enjoyed writing my micro theme. And in the end, it actually helped me. It definitely changed the way I look at procrastination in myself in a good way. And now that I wrote that paper I have been able to identify the actual reasons why I do it. So now I hope I can change something so I do not procrastinate anymore or at least not as much.

    My biggest struggle with the microtheme was also addressing a problem without providing an answer. This goes against what I've been taught too, but after getting a lot of help and finishing my paper, I found that I understand my problem better as well, even though I didn't try to solve it.

    This makes my teacher's heart happy! I'm glad you learned from the microtheme! Thanks for sharing!

Kman

 I think that Kman is my favorite dining option on campus. There are a lot of good things that I can say about Kman. But the main things I like about Kman first is the fact that once I swipe in I am able to get as much food as I want while I am there. And especially when the food is typically pretty good it makes it easy to go up and get seconds. And the second thing I like about Kman the most is the variety, there is always something that I will eat there whether it is the main option, sandwich, salad, pasta, or pizza there is always something for me to eat. But as it is with everything there are, of course, some downsides to Kman but in my opinion the pros out way the cons. The biggest problem that I have with Kman is its closing time 8:30. This is way too early. Most of the students that go to north central are also athletes and for a lot of teams, some of their practices including mine Kman is always closed when I get back. And if I get typically they have put away the majority...

My Dorm

     Dorms are a regular part of almost every college. And when you go to college you have the option of whether or not you want to live in the dorms or commute to the campus. But most people end up living on campus unless you live relatively close. And that was the case for me. I live in Indiana so commuting is not really an option for me so I will most likely live all four years on campus. And I am ok with that happening because for me my dorm experience has been good enough so far for me to continue to do it but of course, there are things about my dorm experience so far that I have not enjoyed that much.     The main negative thing about my dorm is my roommate. When you hear that someone's roommate is bad we always assume the worst like them smelling or having bad hygiene, leaving the dorm a mess, or even them being a bad person and rude. But my roommate is actually none of those things. The main problem that I have is that he is never actually in the dorm. ...

Being a Recrute

 One of the harder things that I had to do when I was in high school was being a college recruit for sports. I did not like the idea that I had to basically sell myself to coaches if I wanted to play for them. And when I went on some college visits it was always so awkward for me because I was a lot more introverted back then than I am now and I still am today.  It can be especially difficult when meeting the team sometimes because there was one college I went to that I visited and when I met some of the players some of them were actually kind of rude and mean to me which I found very strange because I thought that would not happen. But I found out later that some of the players were intimidated by me so they ended up acting in a different way. With all of that being said about when I was a recruit which was not that long ago. I have sympathy for all the college recruits that I see now because I know what they are most likely going though. But of course, there are exceptions b...
