Hannah Sharkey wrote a new blog post Ten Blogposts Later in the group Critical Writers: 5 years, 11 months ago
I have reached my final blogpost. I thought I would be relieved to write this, but am surprised at my reluctance. During the class time dedicated to reading blogposts, I was searching for something to reflect […]

Hannah Sharkey edited the blog post Who Knew Stats Could be Profound? in the group Critical Writers: 5 years, 12 months ago
Yesterday I was reading my statistics textbook and came across a quote. I often overlook the little blurbs of speech, but happened to read this one. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of statistical jargon, and even more surprised that my statistics textbook got me thinking deeply about life. The quote was…
Grown-ups love figures. When you…

Earlier this week, my dad was texting me about a situation I have going on within my close friend group. He thinks I may be too involved in certain situations, which I cannot disclose due to confidentiality. […]

Hannah Sharkey edited the blog post This Really Happens? in the group Critical Writers: 6 years ago
It is easy to fall into the trap of feeling like we are above tragedy. On the other hand, it is easy to spend excessive energy awaiting tragedy, coming up with endless scenarios in your head. I tend to identify more with the former. Of course, I have worried about tragedy happening, thinking a headache is a tumor and such, but I usually dismiss…

When I was younger, I would do whatever I could to miss school. I’m guilty of faking a few stomach aches or head aches for a day home. However, the older I get, the more I do to avoid missing school. Sure I s […]

Hannah Sharkey edited the blog post Community Customs in the group Critical Writers: 6 years, 1 month ago
This spring break I am lucky enough to be able to travel to Ireland. It is incredible to experience a different culture’s customs. One thing I have picked up on is the partnership between community members, and where superior institutions intervene.
Academic partnerships do form a type of community, but there is a different sense of…[Read more]

Hannah Sharkey wrote a new blog post Conduct Code or Moral Code? in the group Critical Writers: 6 years, 1 month ago
I’ll never forget how Dr Leonard Sancilio (Dean of Students) summed up Geneseo students. He said that what sets a Geneseo student apart is they will almost always hold the door open for you. I was surprised to […]

While reading our second section of Bloodchild by Octavia Butler, I came across a phrase that struck me. Gan and Qui were discussing the event that changed Qui’s perspective on Tlic. I am still unsure as to what […]

Hannah Sharkey edited the blog post Callous Curriculum in the group Critical Writers: 6 years, 2 months ago
“You won’t be able to get away with this in college.” I knew college would be different than high school; my teachers have been making comments like this for years. However, they made it seem as if it being a student was going to become a death-sentence once I reached college. Much to my surprise, I have never felt so liberated as a…[Read more]

Hannah Sharkey edited the blog post More Than Just a Student in the group Critical Writers: 6 years, 2 months ago
John Madsen made a comment in his blog about not understanding the point of continuously going over our names in the first few classes. Like John, I felt this activity was redundant, and not the best use of time, but only at first.
During my academic career, I have been conditioned to think that teachers are more concerned with spending time…[Read more]
