What is inquiry?

Inquiry, to me, is being curious about something. For example, you inquire about the well being of a person or if a book is good or not. An inquiry would be a question asked to quench that curiosity. For example, today in class we learned each others names and talked about the differences between high school and college. That was inquiry, as we were learning and uncovering things. Two words that I found the definitions to today were genre, a category of an artistic piece, and resolution, the product of efforts in a piece of literature. They both helped me when I was doing my English homework this evening.

#9 Discovering Clubs

When I went to the Involvement Fair, the first club that caught my eye was the History club. Being a History major, I wanted to explore all the possibilities of expanding my knowledge on the subject. I wrote my name and email down, and got a flyer. The second stand that caught my eye was the RHA, or Residents Hall Association. They plan fun trips that I was interested in, so I got a flyer. When I wrote my name and email down on their list, I could pick between a free pair of sunglasses or a water bottle. I chose the pair of sunglasses, since they had cute little owls on them.

Blogging?

When I first found out that we had to create a blog, I was completely lost. I had only heard of blogs before, and had had no real reason to look one up. When I heard we had to create one, my first action was to look up one to see what I had to do. It seemed to me, at first, that it was a fancy way to say Twitter. As I took a closer look, however, I found that there was much more than just posting random thoughts. There were help links, discussion topics, and interesting pictures of things the blogger had created. I visited one blog that was all about food. I love food, so I was immediately sucked in. The pictures and recipes looked so appetizing, and made me extremely hungry. It was all about desserts, and the cookies and brownies looked so heavenly. The pictures made me want to make them, but I am an awful baker. After looking at many different styles of blogs, I decided that I was going to try to be as truthful as I could in my blog posts, and try to make them as interesting as possible by talking about issues that we face in everyday life. My goal for my blog is to make people happy about their new college life and encourage students to explore their full potential while here. I will try to keep myself from obsessing over one topic for too long, and keep things light and fast paced. The style of my blog would have to be explorative. I am exploring not only my true self, but the drastic change from high school to college. I am exploring the new possibilities I have, since there are so many things that I can get involved in on campus.http://www.bakeorbreak.com/

What is college? To me, college is an institution of learning. A place to discover your true interests, ideas, and even yourself. You not only learn academics, but who you believe you are. Being a college student is telling the world here I am and look at what I want to accomplish. It is one thing to want to learn, but to sacrifice both time and money on your education is taking the next step. College is that next step. Even though you are not securing your future by going to college, you are helping make it better. Socially, college is where you discover your true friends. In high school, if you "fit into" a social standard, those people who also did were your friends. Here, you find friends based on personality and shared interests. To me personally, college is a way to discover who I truly am. I can no longer hide behind the stereotypes from high school. So far, college is amazing. Of course there are people I miss at home, but I no longer have my parents breathing down my neck 24/7 or the unfortunate event of seeing someone from school that I do not get along with. My goals for this year are simple. Stay on top of my work, meet new people, and join clubs that I would enjoy. This, hopefully, will be obtainable. My only real concern is with managing my time, as I procrastinate often. So far, I have been able to turn work in on time, and occasionally early. I can, however, finally meet new people, as my grade in high school had around 82 students. My first college experience was walking out of my Hall the first day of classes and seeing how many unfamiliar faces there were. Coming from such a small high school, I had known everyone I saw. This experience was completely foreign to me. Foreign, but exciting. I have already met so many interesting and amazing people, and I cannot wait to meet more as my college career takes off.  http://www.thomastonschools.net/subsite/ths
