Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Thinking Outside the Box

The curriculum in this class has made me more motivated to take my time when I am writing, and working on posts. Since we only meet once a week I have more time to spend fine-tuning my writing. I have tried to change my writing style from just giving straightforward details, to going more in depth about my feelings towards certain things. I find myself trying to think of new ways to get points across. The experiment we did in class last week, which dealt with categorizing items, was very beneficial. I thought this was beneficial because we had to think outside the box and expand past our normal realm of thoughts and ideas. The readings we are assigned also have made me more knowledgeable about different subjects. Since I know we will most likely have a quiz on these readings, I pay more attention to little details in the articles.
