Victoria's Prompt Ideas

  1. 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.
  1. 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. 

  1. 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 50º ) I am always wearing them.  It could be a fun review to talk about the versatility and the dependability of these shoes to someone who would potentially want to buy them.

    I like the NUin program idea because there is so much you can write about for that, especially since this review has to be 750-1000 words long. It will be really interesting to see what you got from NUin and maybe, if it is a really good review, it might even end up on the website. I also like the birkenstocks idea but that might be a little harder to write about for that long.

    I really like all of these ideas. I think maybe the Grey's anatomy one could be a little hard just because there are so many seasons. I'd be really interested in reading your review on Birkenstocks. I would've never thought about reviewing a shoe, but it is an excellent idea.

    I really like the NUin program idea, it's different than a movie or book because it's literally and experience and I'm sure the expectations you had are much different than it actually ended up being.

    I think the Nuin program is something you could definitely run with. While it was was fun overall what were the downsides? How does it make your college experience different than others? What expectations were you made to meet? Did you have any goals? Its a personal experience and how you decided that it was can easily be reflected in your work. Plus if it was ever published you could use your own photos which would be sick.

    I think the NUin program is a really good idea, and something that you could write a very successful review about! From my experience, NUin was not the experience I had thought it was going to be. There were unexpected good things and unexpected bad things. You can talk about how the program has been beneficial and/or detrimental to your life. I think you can also touch on how doing NUin has affected you and your time at Northeastern this second semester.

    I LOVE these ideas!! The NUin program and the birks would be so unique. A review on Grey's Anatomy would be so interesting to read because I've loved the show for so long as well!! The NUin experience would also be cool because it would be cool to see how your experience was compared to mine in Ireland! I Also, LOVE my birks too so it would be cool to see an entire review on them.

    I think all of these potential topics are really great! I especially think it 1 and 2 would be interesting for you to explore for yourself and would be engaging for people reading your reflection. I am super intrigued by 3 but want to hear more about what direction you would take it. It sounds like a really cool opportunity to be creative.

    Victoria, I think all of these are interesting possibilities. The NUIn program might present particular challenges — you have direct experience of one aspect of it, but not all the locations.

    I think Grey's Anatomy could be good. As I said on Julia's post, it's hard to figure out what exactly to review. It's just not possible to do the whole series. But it is possible to look back on it and say what you liked about it, or why you think it has stuck with you this whole time.

Tutoring for the first time at EMK last Wednesday was more of a challenge than I initially thought it would be. I've always been someone who enjoys getting tutored by other people but never the other way around. I guess I don't enjoy the idea of tutoring someone because I have never felt confident enough in myself to teach another person a subject that I wasn't strong in. It wasn't until high school that I realized the importance of having a tutor. Prior to that, I "got away" with school through engaging with my teachers, talking to others, and honestly Google. But, elementary school and middle school compared to high school was definitely easier. The pace of work didn't really pick up (in my opinion) until my freshman year. Integrated Math 1 was the class that changed everything for me. I never was a huge math person but this class, at the time, felt like rocket science (boy was I in for a surprise *aka Pre-Calculus and AP Statistics*) I began getting mor...

Writing these blog posts have made me realize I could never run a blog. I can never think about what to write about. As much as I want to mix things up and write about something that has nothing to do with quarantine or corona, that fact that I have been trapped in my house with nothing to do doesn't give me much else to talk about. I guess I can use this to vent about how much I dislike learning about plants. On Thursday I have a biology exam about plants and animals. Studying about plants, their structures, and how they reproduce, is one of the most boring things I have ever had to learn. Memorizing everything about gymnosperms and angiosperms is not my cup of tea to say the least. The fact that we have to be tested on it I find quite ridicules. I mean I get it, we are in school, paying thousands of dollars to learn, and I chose this major. But being forced to cram a shit ton of information about plants, their structures, and their behaviors, in my head in order to be able to ans...

Blog Post #12

I am from a small town in Massachusetts known as Marblehead. It is the type of town where everyone knows everyone and you are always guaranteed to run into someone you know if you are walking or going to our local community store. It is located right on the water which makes it super fun for the summer when we can go swimming, not so much right now. Anyways, there is a small island off the mainland that is connected by a causeway- an area of Marblehead known as "The Neck". On one side of the causeway is the Marblehead harbor and on the other side of the causeway is the open ocean. People in town absolutely LOVE to go for walks along the causeway with their friends, family, or dogs. I personally love to run on the causeway because you get an amazing view of the water and the beach, and someone I know driving across the causeway will always honk at me to keep me motivated. During quarantine, walking across the causeway has been a daily activity for almost everyone in town. It h...
