College Survival 101

1. BRING A LAPTOP!! It is very helpful and keeps you organized. Don’t forget to charge it though or bring the charger with you! If you don’t have one, you should be able to check one out at the library. 

2. Try to go to all of the events, especially if it’s “free”. I mean we did already pay for it through our tuition and fees so might as well go!

3. DON’T PLAGARIZE! IT’S NOT WORTH IT! There are many free sites that detects plagiarism in your essays, but there are some good ones that do have some fees. Or check through turnitin.com, sometimes you can check there!

4. Look at where your classes are located at before school starts. You don’t want to get lost or end up in the wrong classroom.

5. Making your own lunch is cheaper than eating out everyday! 

6. Use a planner, online or on paper, it doesn’t matter as long as you are organized. 

7. Read the syllabus, the instructors actually follow it unlike in high school.

8. If you’re having trouble writing an essay, step away from it, relax, and come back to it later. BUT DON’T START ON IT THE DAY BEFORE. Give yourself at least three days before it’s due.

A review is different from a rhetorical analysis. A review consists of your personal ideas along with a summary. A rhetorical analysis breaks it down by explaining what rhetorical methods are used to effectively appeal to the audience.

The Speaker, on the Ted Talk above “Defining and Defeating the Opioid Crisis” talks about the opioid crisis using her experiences working in the pharmaceutical industry as well as being a mentor for inmates at a prison. I used the Rhetorical pentagon to evaluate the effectiveness of her argument; which is taking away the stigma from the opioid addiction is a step in the right direction on battling this crisis. I would recommend this source for those who are interested in learning about the opioid crisis, or those who would like to hear from a different perspective; a pharmacist.

This Week I learned!

blog post 4: This week I learned what a meme consists of. Memes consist of humorous videos, images or pieces of text. They can be an idea, behavior, or style. I did not know a video can be considered a meme. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/meme

Blog Post 2: Opioid Epidemic

https://georgiadrugdetox.com/resources/opioid-epidemic-affects-economy/

This article explains how the opioid epidemic negatively impacts the United States focusing primarily on the economy. It explains the different types of effects such as health care, the criminal justice system, etc. Much of this information I was unaware of. It’s interesting and shocking to see what type of impact the epidemic has had on the economy. Although this article mainly focuses on the economy, the opioid epidemic also negatively impacts society, life expectancy of those who use it, etc.

Hi!

My name is Yesenia, many people call me “yesi.” I’m a Pre-Nursing major and I’m a freshman at UNR! WOOOT! I love to travel, meet new people, and experience new things. I love binge-watching shows on Netflix. I hope to travel to every continent in my lifetime, it’s on my bucket list!

My topic for this semester is how the opioid epidemic in the U.S. affects our economy and society. The opioid epidemic deals with the misuse and addiction of opioid drugs, prescribed or non-prescribed. I hope to learn why it has gone on for over two decades and how it began.
