Where to go when you need help.


Unfortunately because of my lovely kidney stones I wasn’t able to record my roommates for our third video project. Instead I had to do an all text video, although it was all text I think that this was probably the best video that I’ve made this semester. I think this video project assignment was an easier one because it dealt with what problems freshman can face their first year, and who wouldn’t know that better than a freshman. Freshman can be faced with so many different problems, so there were many different things you could do your video on. I chose two different problems and kind of put them together. A lot of times when there’s a coupled with only one of the two going into their freshman year for college, they fight a lot because they think the worst and think that the one going to college will cheat on the other one, or vice versa which creates a lot of stress, and then causes them to fight. I saw that first hand living with my roommate because her and her boyfriend fought the first two months of school because he didn’t trust her and thought that she was going to go out tonight and cheat on him. The fighting got so bad, that she ended up breaking up with him. After they took a break they realized that they really did love each other and got back together. I also used underage drinking as an example because a lot of freshman come into college and get so caught up in the partying that they lose sight for why they actually came to college. The excessive drinking in my video was what I said was fictional, because that’s not the case for me or my roommates. Also, a lot of times when someone is fighting with their significant other they use alcohol as an escape. So that’s what I did in my video. I used the fighting of my roommates relationship to lead them to turn to drinking to feel better. I then used the counseling services on campus as what she could do to get help.
