Review Ideas: Meeghan Cronin

1) Online workout classes. Due to the coronavirus we have all been stuck inside and be quarantined in our own homes. As a result, I have been forced to try and come up with creative workouts to try and stay in shape through online workouts. I think it would be interesting to look at the benefits and drawbacks of online workouts, and if they are more effective? Or if working out at home is less effective than going to a gym or a workout class.

2) The modern movie "Little Women". When I went to see this movie I was super excited to see the modern version. I personally really loved the movie, and consider it to be one of my favorites. However, I have seen many reviews of moviegoers being disappointed with the new movie. I think it would be interesting to review the movie and look at where the movie went right or where the movie went wrong. I can also look at how it compares to old movies and the book. Is it better or worse than the original story?

3) Guayaki Yerba Mate Energy Drink. Ever since coming back to Northeastern second-semester classes have been a bit harder than they were over in Greece. In order to give a bit myself a bit more energy, I looked to find energy drinks that would be effective but also not taste like battery acid (which is what monsters and red bulls taste like to me). This energy drink is something all college students are aware of and I am interested in reviewing how effective it is in helping students with their work and keeping up their energy. Personally, it has been very effective in keeping me awake but I eventually crash after a short while.

    I really like your ideas for a review topic. I think that the online class one would be a cool opportunity for you to get more reinforcement to follow up on your goals to stay in healthy, and to do in with the lens of a review for this assignment would make that effort intentional and maybe even more successful as you may be more methodical in your evaluations.

    I have not seen the new version of "little women" but I remember seeing the original as a kid and loving it. I would be interested in what you think of the new one.

    Hahaha battery acid is so specific and random, I love it. lol I have never heard about it but maybe I will learn something from your review.

    All of your ideas a really good! Yerba is a personal favorite of mine and I have been really wanting to see Little woman. I also really like the idea of reviewing online workout classes because there are so many different kinds and they are so accessible. It is also a very relevant time to be doing online work out classes.

    Meeghan, these are all good ideas. I'd love to hear your take on Little Women, but I also think you might be able to have fun with online workout classes, if you were able and willing to check out enough of them. What makes for a good online class? What about a bad one? Are the criteria different for online workout classes than they are for in-person ones?

Blog Post #11 - Victoria Nemeth

During this period of social distancing, the days are starting to blur together because of the repetitive routine of watching lectures, studying for exams, completing assignments, while finding moments in between to spend time with my dog, eat dinner, and watch some Netflix.  I think that some good things are coming out of this period of social distancing: more family time, cooking family meals, going on walks, and getting some time to slow down and take time for myself to read or watch some movies or series on Netflix.   Last week I had my first online test for biology.  It was on plants and some animals. I spent so much time last week studying for that test, and honestly it wasn’t an easy test to study for or take.  This whole semester I have been trying different study methods from study guides, to flashcards, to flowcharts, to try to do my best in this class. I am not really sure what the best combination is for studying, but hopefully this class will he...

Victoria's Prompt Ideas

One of my favorite shows is Grey’s Anatomy.  It has been on air for so long, and so much has changed over the course of its time on TV.  I can start watching anywhere in the series and still be sucked in to tapping “next episode” over and over. Instead of writing about the show itself, it could be interesting to review the show’s evolution from the beginning to what it is like now. The NUin program- this could be an interesting thing to review because it is full of expectations and it is very much an opinion (because so many people had so many different experiences, and view them differently).  I also think there is a lot of room to talk about background information and to talk about my own views on whether I’d recommend the program and describe how I felt during my experiences in the program.  One of my favorite pairs of shoes I own is my Birkenstocks. During the spring/summer/fall (ok basically any month where the temperature is over 50ยบ ) I am always...

Step 1 of Review Prompt: Samantha Rhynard

Three choices for things I would be interested in reviewing are as follows; the book The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind , the movie Marriage Story , as well as the movie The Shawshank Redemption . I have chosen two movies and a book as the media I would find preferable for review options, because they are very good stay inside activities. I would like to review The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind, because it is the book I am currently reading, so I will be able it a fair analysis, having been recently actively involved with it. Marriage Story and The Shawshank Redemption  are movies I would consider reviewing, because I have been told that they're good, but I haven't gotten around to seeing for myself.
