Blog #6: The Struggle

Marshall Rudd 
Maria was concerned that Mrs. Seth would be disappointed in her narrative about her excuses she gave to her grade-school teacher. She thought Mrs. Seth would be not so happy about what she read because it is not ever good to lie. She kept doubting herself until Mrs. Seth said, “You wrote this” and is saying this disbelieved and not disappointed at all. Maria was so happy about how Mrs. Seth was so appreciative toward her work she kept telling her that she can succeed here. Hearing anything that makes someone happy makes Maria feel great because during her childhood struggles she didn’t get much appreciation from anyone and it's always nice to see someone get appreciated when they didn’t get much appreciation through their lifetime. Maria was always happy to know anyone who was nice to her and her life has just gotten better after her disaster of a childhood and she has met some great people and a great husband to treat her better than how her father treated her mother. 
Something that I did that would be easier not to do was move to College Station. What made this difficult was leaving my parents and leaving my friends. I found it so hard because I have never lived without my parents before and didn’t know what life would be like. It was hard for my parents too because they enjoyed seeing me every day and it was hard for them to see me go. I thought it would be worth doing because it would be a whole new experience that would help me later in life, and experience what it’s like in a city I have never lived in before. This city is great for new people because it has so many restaurants to eat at a bunch of people your age, and a lot of activities you can do with friends. Another new thing I learned is that living without your parents means you have to go out to eat a lot more because they can’t always cook for you, also you have to go to the grocery store a lot because you go through snacks a lot faster in college rather than living with parents and them always feeding you. Overall it was hard the first week, but after that I knew it was the right decision because I enjoy being in College Station every week and I have met some great people.

    It must've been hard to move away from your parents. I'm glad things are better for you here now.

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 . I was born in Dallas, Texas and lived there for 2 years then after that I lived in The Woodlands, Texas and never moved anywhere else until college started. The Woodlands is near Houston, Texas and it is where I met all my friends and over every summer I hung out with them almost every day and we all have a bunch of good memories from hanging out, but most of us went to different colleges and it was hard to say goodbye. Also, I love the city of Dallas and every sport team in Dallas is my favorite just because of how much I liked living there and how much I like visiting my cousins there every year. The important people in my life is my Mom, Dad, and sister without them I wouldn’t have made it this far, and my dogs Emmy and Ruby are very important to my life because I have grown up with them for more than ten years. The other people th...

Blog 5: Social Media Addiction

Marshall Rudd   The overall message of this video is saying that social media is addicting and is ruining our lives by eliminating our attention span. They are saying that the design of social media makes it addictive. They think this because of features like notification and other little things make people keep going back to their social media page. This overall message might scare some people when they use social media and might not use it anymore and this could affect some companies a lot.  Cal Newport is a professor of computer science at Georgetown University. Newport is concerned for the future generation about how their concentration could be reduced. Newport stated, “when you take large portions of your day checking social media that this can permanently reduce your capacity for concentration.” This is showing how addictive social media can be and show that social media addiction can affect you in a massive way.  Steven Kotler is a American author, journ...
