    Since starting this class I have noticed how much I write. I journal at least once a week, I’ve had assignments of all kinds that I’ve had papers for, and I spend a great deal of my time on my phone answering messages.

However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article.
