4th Blog Post.

For starters, I've learned that this site is very hard to use. I honestly haven't learned anything from blogging in general since I have done it before on other website. So, this is isn't my first time. As far as the research process goes, I have learned a couple of things. The main thing that I learned is that the research process definitely takes time. its not something that you can get done in just one sitting. You really have to take the time to do it. Especially if you want some really really good items from research. I have never taken the thorough steps in any of my other english classes. Im used to doing research, rough draft, and then the final draft. I have never done an annotated bibliography before. I now feel like it that should be a part of the writing process. It definitely helps you out when deciding which sources are really useful instead of taking the easy, lazy road and saying "okay, ill just choose this article. it looks like it'll do." And then you end up with a not so good paper/ writing assignment.
           I have learned a couple things about my culture since I am researching about African American college students. Its surprising to know what a group of college students go through with them being a minority at that too. I'm curious to find out more. I also want to connect this more to my life so I can learn more about myself as well. I know that I stress and I am an African American college student and I want to be aware of every aspect of stress that I can affect me so I can be aware and handle the situation. I, personally, have a hard time dealing with stress and would LOVE to find more things about stress while I'm researching throughout the year. Im not at the point right now to answer the question "What is it like to be healthy?" completely yet. I know that I can say that we shouldnt stress. But, of course, there is more to it. I hope to answer the question by the end of this semester~
