Slacker

The mission statement of Villa Maria College states that transforming and empowering the students is the goal of the school. A mission this bold may not have the same effect on every single student that walks through the doors of the school however, it has had this effect on me for the short time that I have been a student here. Coming to Villa Maria College has had an overall positive effect on my life in more ways than one. The college has helped me grow as a person but not in a big…

I began to struggle in math and I came home with a C+. I really was satisfied with the grade because I thought it would be lower. My parents did not say too much and then I became a slacker. I wasn’t concerned with getting A’s and B’s. I was only trying to make it, doing just enough to get by. I had an older sister who always set the bar for me. When I saw her grades rising and how she got rewarded, it made me want to do better. I began…

This year was my first year taking a real college class and it was nothing like high school. I took APUSH last year, and it was just as hard as the real college classes. However, in APUSH we had way more test, homework, quizzes, etc. I learned that in college, you only go for a couple of days and you only get a couple of tests, which means you have to score high on each one of them if you want to pass the class. I deserve at least a low A in Composition 1101 , because of my hard work, im a MOWR…

Speer was given the title of ‘the first architect of the Third Reich’, and was in charge of the design and structure of several propaganda based structures that contributed greatly to the rise of Adolf…

Hearing the alarm go off to indicate that there were only thirty minutes left until classes began, Daveigh groaned. There was no way she wasn't going to end up late today. Not because she was only just waking up, the seventeen year old had been up for hours, but because she had been so busy getting her makeup just right that she hadn't even bothered with her hair yet let alone her having enough time to go get coffee from the student lounge. The question was, which one was more important? If she…

These double standards have derived from years of society following a set of unwritten rules and expectations that apply to different genders or different groups of people. The problem with double standards is that these unspoken rules or principles do not apply equally to the different people of society. Double standards are unfair. Simply put, it is like having a rule…
