13A: May the Finals Begin

The first semester of college is coming close to an end. We have all had to change and morph into a cliché college student just to get the great grades we were hoping for (stay away to the wee hours of the morning, spending your downtime studying for tests you feel completely unprepared for and going to the office hours most professors strongly advise and suggest but most students end up avoiding.) And if there hasn’t been enough stress already, finals are about to begin.
                This week, I will be intensely focused on finishing my rough draft of my Inquiry 101 class final, before I go home for the thanksgiving recess.  This project is supposed to pool together all my knowledge and resources of what I’ve learned this semester into one great video project. The video will be focusing on have 5 distinct components; describing the problem, exploring possible outcomes and proposing the best solution(s), providing useful information about resources on campus that students can access in dealing with the problem, ample research, interviews, quotes from readings, facts, or other evidence to support both the description of the problem and the proposal of the solution(s), and using creativity to engage your audience.
                The problem I have chosen to address and find a way to solve is, the lack of money college students have and how they can go about making money whilst in school. I chose this topic because it is a problem that many college students face, especially here at SCSU. As college students, we are constantly wanting to be independent and go out and act like the adults we so desperately want to be. But this reality is hard to face as a college student.

                To make this final, high college-level material I have many things planned to be put into the project. I will include, ways to research jobs either on or near campus, as well as look at possible transportation to get to jobs off campus. I will also include specific examples of jobs on campus and how you would go about applying for said jobs. Along with that, I will hopefully acquire a job application and record a video of me filling out an application, sort of like a tutorial. With all this information, it physically tells you everything you need to do to get a job and how to apply. This video is informational and a great utilization of my resources put into one simple video for you to find a job. Keep a look out for it!!
