Daily Write #3 1/27/17 “What connections have you made this week?”

I have made a few connections this week. Rereading America has really broadened my horizons on sexual abuse and violence mainly towards women all over the country. The essay “The Longest War” has an overwhelming amount of statistics about women and just how awful the violence has gotten. This is absolutely insane. If sexual violence has gotten so bad that people around the world are having to protest and write books and everything else, something is seriously wrong and has been wrong for a long time. People do not like to talk about something that makes them uncomfortable so they avoid it, but this topic should be unavoidable. Why aren’t people more informed of things going on in the world? The statistics are so unbelievable it is impossible to avoid, but people try to anyway. It is so sad. This should not be okay. This has been the biggest realization to me this week.

Weekly Write 10/7/16 Check yourself

I feel like academically I am trying my best and right now that is all that I can do. I feel like I have done really well with time management, making sure I have everything done, and prioritizing between having fun and my school work. I still slightly struggle with prioritizing my classes and putting a specific class before others, but it has gotten a lot better. I really like how I have managed my time so far.

Weekly Write #2 Ole Miss Perceptions

The University of Mississippi has many different stereotypes. Before I came to Ole Miss, even though I am from Oxford, even I had different perceptions of Ole Miss. I imagined this university only having students who did not care about their education and only wanted to have fun and party. Sure there are still many students like this, like there are in every school or university, but I was pleasantly surprised when I realized how many motivated students there are. It also depends on who one surrounds themselves with. I also imagined my teachers being a lot more rude, which I am so thankful they are not. Having this perception actually helped me become more independent with my studies and homework because I knew my teachers would not spoon feed me. I think that Corliss would fit in well at the University of Mississippi. Anywhere someone goes, especially on a campus this large, anyone can find someone they get along with or similar to them.
