Winter Break


We are all very close to a much-needed winter break. With the workload increasing for almost all of my classes, I'm getting stressed out very easily and haven't been able to take it out at the gym. I probably went 3-4 times the past 2 weeks which isn't the worst but I would have liked to get my normal schedule in. Alright now let's talk about what I have going on for winter break. So first off, My mom is taking me to Italy for a few days as a Christmas present. I am so excited to go because I've never been there before. My mom's favorite thing to do is travel around the world and experience other cultures. We are planning on going to Florence and Venice. During our time there we will go on a wine tour. I am super excited about this because I will be able to drink legally. We are coming home on the 21st so we can see everyone for Christmas. After Christmas, I'm going to Florida to see my dad and stepmom for New Year. I know going to Florida is nice and all, but traveling so I get a chance to see everyone gets pretty old after a while. I'm planning on staying there for a week and then I get to come home and spend the rest of the break with my friends and family at home. Although I really need this break, I'm excited to begin my new classes and get a fresh start. The picture below is a picture from when my friends and I were walking by the riverwalk in downtown Naperville. We saw this view and had to take a picture. It turned out super cool and it looks like a Picasso.

Big Decision

 It is time to decide whether or not I want to stay next year or go to a college in Ohio. This is a huge decision for me because I'm deciding whether or not I want to stop playing soccer. First off, some of the pros to staying here are staying with the friends I've made and continuing to play soccer. The only cons would be leaving the friends I've made and not playing soccer. It might seem like an easy decision for me, but it is not. I don't think I'm ready to give up soccer yet. I was on the brink of deciding to go back to Ohio and attend a college with some of my friends and my girlfriend when the coach asked to have another meeting with me. The whole team got to choose when they had their end-of-the-year meeting, and when I talked to him, I was still undecided. So his asking for another time to meet wasn't too surprising. The only thing that scared me was how quickly I had to make a decision. Once we had our meeting, it was clear what decision I would make. I...

Week 1 Class Expectations

Image
 Hi! My name is Nate Usrey and I am a freshman taking CARD 101. My class expectations for this class are to become a better writer, have a better understanding of writing, and increase the level of my vocabulary. I feel like the transition from high school english class to college writing will be quite the transition. In my high school senior year english class I barely had any challenging work assigned to me so i don't think i was working up to my potential. In this class I expect to put in more work than I did in high school to achieve a greater understanding for writing. I am also expecting to have this class on my mind almost everyday because I do not think writing is my strong suite so i might have to put more work in than other people. Another thing I expect out of this class is I'm hoping it will cure my procrastination. I feel like due to the limited amount of work I did in high school, this will class will have much more time consuming work which will force me to get i...
