For the first two hours, the Honors College Forum discussed many topics dealing with current events and internal matters. The first discussion was about the Oregon shooting that happened recently. People had genuine concerns if something like that would happen in North-Harris.

The IRB application itself is much harder to complete. It is a board of people who make sure that any sort of human related research will not harm anyone. They basically make sure what I will do will can cause any legal issues. I need to have everything perfectly written, and to make sure that I list all the procedures and items I will use during the experiment. One little error, badly written statement, or something that seems unethical or harmful to humans will get the application pushed back. I still have about a week to work on it, so I need to stay in touch with my psychology professor and work the finer details of my
