Hey everyone!

I’m Lauren and I’m from Westchester New York, about forty minutes north of the city. My major is going to be Supply Chain (I think) with minors in Spanish and International Business. I ended up in this class because I’m honestly trying to get my science credits out of the way before my hard classes for my major start.

You know how people say they are either a science and math person, or an english and history person? I’m definitely an english and history person. I like the freedom that comes along with writing, and I love how history is one long story. One reason I decided to take this class was because of how heavily blog posts are weighted. I would rather write a million papers this semester than study for a few exams that count as your entire grade. I like the way this course is set up, clearly you are not expected to be a perfect student- I’m assuming that’s why we have the chance to build our skills as both a writer and a thinker. I think that is what our college education should be about. Sure, having a photographic memory or perfect recall will get you far, but what will really make you stand out in your career and in life is the ability to think outside the box, or propose new ideas, or analyze a situation in a way that other people might not. I look forward to learning thing that other classes would never address, and also to seeing how many other students in this class view different topics.

Anyways here is how my first week is going. Hope some of you love The Office as much as I do!

In conclusion, here’s a photo of one of the best things that has ever happened to planet earth.
