5 Books to Help You Beat Writer's Block – WRITERS' RUMPUS
    Last time I wrote a blog, I wrote about my first rough draft. Well, to be honest, that was about a month ago, and after class that day, I had a bad cold. I kind of forgot about school for a week (the week of Thanksgiving break).  Additionally, I have been "maintaining" my weight for wrestling, and because of all of my additional workouts, I have also kind of forgotten about school. So, I have not touched the digital copy of my paper since the last time I blogged about it.
    However, the paper is due this Thursday, and I feel confident. I will be making changes to the paper before class starts today. I have made quite a few stylistic and grammatical changes on a paper copy, so I will be translating that to my digital copy. Either during or after class today, I will be making changes based off my professor's suggestions on the digital copy I emailed her.
    I am excited to see where this paper ends up, and I believe in myself. All I need to do is get myself some coffee and crank it out!

Three Paragraphs

Three paragraphs.  Three.  Paragraphs.  Who am I?  Who?  Am?  I?  You want me to tell you who I am in a minimum of three paragraphs.  Is it possible for me to tell you who I am in a maximum of three paragraphs?  Can I even try and sum up to you who I am in one sentence?  In a paragraph?  I can try.  I am a body and a soul.  I have a brain, along with logic and reason.  I like to read.  I am a wrestler.  I am a child of God.  I am Catholic.  I am a swimmer.  I am blonde.  I am five feet and four-and-a-quarter inches tall.  I wear a size nine and a half women’s shoe and a seven in men’s.  I know my men’s size because up until 2021, there were no wrestling shoes that ran in women’s sizes.  I am an advocate for the sanctioning of women’s wrestling as a high school sport...

Problems

               Problems in life are inevitable.  Problems can be in school, sports, work, and social aspects of life. These problems pop up in every aspect of life, and sometimes we have a difficult time coming up with a solution to them or a way around them.                In my microtheme assignment, the biggest problem I arrived at was trying to figure out a third reason as to why people might practice religious exclusivism .  Then, once I did have a eureka moment, I found that my microtheme was about five lines onto the second page, so I had to shorten things up a bit.  Eventually, though, I did figure out solutions to these problems, and then in class I was given other suggestions to find solutions to.  I did my best to find solutions to these problems as well; I shortened my lengthy question into a more concise one, and I eliminated some of the wordiness. I...

Being a Student Athlete

    Being a student athlete is difficult. To be honest, I did not have a hard time being a student athlete in high school, but I have had a rough time adjusting this fall. Additionally, on top of team lifts and practices, wrestlers have to make sure they get in enough workouts to keep their weight down. This takes up a lot of time.       The last week, I have really had to hone in on my weight, and that has caused the need for me to adjust my schedule and find new time to do homework. I have not, until just the other day, figured out how to rearrange my schedule to fit everything, while still prioritizing my sleep. It's so weird because from Thursday-Sunday, I just forgot that school  existed.     One of the biggest things coach reminds us is that we are "student-athletes;" that is a student first and athletes second. Coach tells us that if we don't find the classroom, and our grades, important, then we don'...
