My First Month Of College

Marshall Rudd The first month of college has been eye opening because of the new type of environment and it is very different than high school. High school wasn’t that hard for me because I had a lot of friends around me and  it  was  hard for me  to split apart from them. My favorite part of college is the schedules of my  classes and how I made it how I wanted, and this is great because I made my earliest classes  every day  at 11 because I am not a morning person. I also love that in most of my classes they let you out early sometimes, but in high school they never let you out early no matter what because everyone had the same times for classes.  I  have met some new people here and they are  great,  but it isn’t the type of friendships I had back home.  Settling  into College  Station was hard for me not having my parents with me or not all my friends here with  me so the first week it was hard to realize...

All About Me

Marshall Rudd   I am Marshall Rudd I ’ m 18 years old  and a freshman in college, but before college I went to The Woodlands High School .

The other people th...

How David Brooks Is Successful

Marshall Rudd   I think the author that is more successful delivering his thesis statement is David Brooks because Charles Blow didn’t deliver his thesis statement as well as David Brooks did .  One thing Brooks does that makes him successful is how he list great  comparisons  to know how he feels about some of the topics he talks about . One example that was great was “being online is like being a part of the greatest cocktail party ever.” Another example that he said was “offline learning is more like being a member of a book club than a cocktail party.” I think these  comparisons  are excellent because some people might agree with  these things and might find that to be a comparison they can use a lot  to tell people how the online life really  is .   The  second thing that makes him successful is that is list some conclusions from researchers about attention span to help readers understand his main idea of his article.
