13A Final Video Part 1 College-Level Thinking


In class today we were asked how we were going to have our video include college level thinking. I thought about this for a while since I was in the middle of the classroom. As people were going around many people talked about how they were going to interview people. They did not exactly specify what type of interviews they were doing. More and more people stated what they needed to and I realized exactly what I needed to say to be a college level thinker.

My final video topic is homesickness. Being that I only live a half an hour away I don’t experience homesickness as much because I can literally just hop on the train which is about a 20 minute ride and go home. There are people who go here who are out of staters they can’ t go home every single weekend, because they live so far away. Those people are sometimes left here to fend for themselves on the weekends because all of their friends go home. My idea for this video is to interview in staters and out of staters and see how they feel about living away from home. I’m also going to ask them about being homesick and wanting to go home and see their families.

I have personally been homesick since being here.  I ended up skyping my mom and talked to her for about an hour and then I was fine. I think in the back of my mind I knew that since I’m so close I would be ok. I want to find out how the people who are out of staters cope with being farther than 2 hours away from home. Being that far for me would be a very challenging thing because I like to go home on the weekends sometimes. I hope by doing this I will learn a lot from people.
