Joan Robinson Econ 490 fall 2019

I would definitely use Illinibucks for the registration period , because of the disadvantage that I have experienced in my previous semester. In Spring 2019 semester, which is my 2 nd semester of my junior year, I was not able to register for any 400 level statistics courses, despite that I was in Statistics senior standing student. I wanted to distribute the courses amongst Statistics and Economics, which is another major I am pursuing, so that I can lessen my workload for my senior year. I sought out help from my advisor, but she was unable to help in anyway too. Luckily, I had declared Economics major late, so I registered for all the prerequisite courses on that semester.

Because small groups meet on weekly basis, using paper plates are not environmentally friendly, so our leader had purchased tens of dishes and silverwares for the group.                         Here is what happens nearly every time we finish ou...

I do not have much experience being in organizations, or at least in organizations that are smaller in size to see the structure within. I did not participate in much social activities or join student registered organization after I entered college. I have always been a person who experience extreme fears stepping out of comfort zone, so I found hard to voluntarily show up to recruiting events just to meet people. In high school, forming social circle came natural to me, or for everyone. Because the class sizes are not so big and much group activities are in place to build the bond between students. Because that was not the case in college, I had a hard time figuring out where I should belong. While taking classes over the summer on campus, I wanted to try out becoming a student worker at the Union bookstore. I luckily was able to find an application and apply for a data and e-commerce department within it and got hired. The data team was of 3 members who were new...
