Topic Development Through More Reseach

I feel I have a more well-rounded understanding of what I am trying to do. By looking more in depth at my sources, I have been able to find similarities, and I have also been able to contrast how different they are based on what medium they were found in.

I think the most interesting thing about all of my research and analyzing has been seeing the commonalities in my sources. Big markets or small ones, they common themes continue to exist. I think that is especially cool because I am a TCU student, and seeing your school being represented in the local media like it is in national media is exciting.

Unbiased, it is amazing what a few good years can do for a program, and to see how much attention is paid to a particular program is astonishing. It takes a great deal of time and work to be recognized, but only a split second to be forgotten about.

I feel I have some great stuff, and I think it is more than substantial to get my point across.

Local Community Spaces

Some of my favorite local hangouts include the Pour House, Fuzzys, Buffalo Bros, and Buffalo Wild Wings. Although I am not 21, the Pour House is an awesome place to go watch football on Sunday afternoon. I love going there to watch my Green Bay Packers and many other teams. Fuzzys is a ton of fun, and it is so close to campus that it provides an easy way to get a group together and go out for a bite to eat. Buffalo cubed (Wings and Bros) serve the same purpose: Good food and a great place to go watch TCU or any other sporting event.

Two places that really do not fit in with the previously mentioned hangouts are the TCU library and the TCU rec center. These are hangouts for me as well, but in a very different sense. I like to go to the gym and work out, play racquetball, basketball, among other things. It serves as a tremendous stress release, and I do spend a great deal of my time there. The library used to be a hangout for me freshman year in the sense that I always went there to "study." I found out that I never really got too much done while I was there because so many people come to the library to socialize instead of study. I have been guilty of this too, but nevertheless, I have learned if I want to actually get work done, a coffee shop or even my room is a better choice.
