Benchmark Project

My group members are Micaela Hellman, Sarah Stevens, and Rachel Nolan. We are working on our guide to college life website. It is going pretty well and we are just trying to get the site started and up and running. I really like our idea because it is very helpful and it will be very useful for incoming college freshman.

Our project is going to be a website for college students on how to survive basically. The site is called "classyU", the 'U' stands for university and we all that it was a cool idea. We will incorporate tabs such as dorm décor, being on time, studying, using your time wisely and more. We are going to make it very interesting. Also, we will incorporate ways to avoid the 'freshman fifteen'. This is just a guide to help people incase they are scared and don't know how to handle college life. We just need to complete the site and make it up to our standards.

Resource of the Day #4

For this resource we all got together and went out to Starbucks and brainstormed. I would say my group and I were the resources. We came up with quite a few good ideas and I think that it helped us move on up in the masterpiece.

Resource of the Day #3

This resource again is the internet and it is to look up a bunch of names for the website itself. We got stuck quite a few times because the names we chose were never available. A couple people in my group came up with the name "classyU". I thought it was great.

Learning [in a] Brave New World

In the end of the book Brave New World John the savage can't seem to live the life everyone seems to. John takes the path that cannot be used by anyone else-- death. John hangs himself and he has come to realize that even as he punishes himself or does anything to atone for what he believes are less than human or less than noble actions become co-opted by the mass culture, converting his real and meaningful angst into entertainment. He even gets caught up in the orgy through the mass pressure, his anger and frustration.

Resource of the Day #2

Today my resource would have to be my sister. She is in college and it is really helpful to get some insight on what to expect in college. It is very helpful for our masterpiece and we could definitely put some of her advice on the website.

Resource of the Day #1

My resource of the day would have to be Google. My group and I have been researching free websites that allows us to start up our own website for our masterpiece. We found a few and they ended up having to be paid for monthly so we will keep looking.
