Blog Reflections

I learned from writing my first draft that it is challenging trying to analyze articles and use them in different ways to support your argument. I also am having a hard time finding strong counter arguments to make my argument stronger because most of my sources have the same views. My paper needs a literature review section because it helps me understand more clearly what each of my sources are arguing and reminds me to use them as support and not as the main voice of my paper. I found that most of the research I found didn't support socioeconomic position having an effect on college children weight gain. Therefore, hopefully my research will fill this gap in the studies of college students and gaining weight their freshman year. I also hope to make ISU college freshman more aware of the "freshman 15" and how to stay healthy without being unhappy.
