Due: Dec 15, 2023 by 11:59pm

5-minute writing prompt:

Monday- Graduation is 6 months and one day away. Name and explain 1 thing you are excited about, one thing you are nervous about, and what is the most important decision you need to make before June 12th 2024?

Tuesday- The world is vast and complex and it may sometimes seem that our small decisions and actions have little to no impact on the big picture. However, if you think about the minute details of your life, you may be able to see how a small event was actually the catalyst for a huge change in your life. For example, maybe you bumped into someone at a coffee shop that happens to work at your dream company and eventually got you an interview there. What if you had chosen a different coffee shop, or been there five minutes later? You may not have met the person that got you into your dream job. The idea that something small, like getting coffee, can have much larger effects, such as altering your career is called the butterfly effect. Think about your 12 year academic career. Identify one small change (A different teacher, bus ride, field trip, class decision) that would have radically redirected your academic life.
