Story Lab: 10 Good Reasons to Read More Books


The article I chose to complete this story lab over was “10 Good Reasons To Read More Books”. This caught my eye because I do not read enough books and I need to read more. This article has ten main points that elaborates on why reading is beneficial. The first point was you can’t write if you don’t read. The second point was your general knowledge is abysmal if you don’t read. The third point was reading helps you develop your own philosophy on life. The fourth point was it helps you develop critical thinking skills. The fifth point is you can de-stress with minimal expense. The sixth point was you can keep your brain stimulated. The seventh point was you get to understand the world. The eighth point is you can learn social skills. The ninth point was you learn that you are not alone. The final point that reading makes you less likely to be a terrible person.

The three that I believe fit me most consisted of the following. The first was you can’t write if you don’t read. Reading helps you better form your thoughts when sitting down to write. The second point was It helps you develop critical thinking skills. I believe this is beneficial to me because it mentions that without books you have no reference point, and reading helps engage the brain throughout the day. The final point that I believed to be beneficial to me was you’re less likely to be a terrible person. This I found kind of comical, but I also understand the point where this is coming from, I think it is beneficial to me because a study was done that showed that reading fiction improves your empathy. This showed me that I need to read more be a less terrible person.

Hi all,           My name is Drew Fazzino, I am a Senior at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Mechanical Engineering. The coolest thing about my major is seeing how different systems work together and run, as well as making parts in CAD and seeing them get made. The best class I took last semester was Engineering Design because I learned different CAD platforms and how to dynamically analyze parts via computer, taking out some of the time of tedious hand calculations. My biggest accomplishment last semester was boosting my gpa some and just having a good semester in general. Over the break, I went to Colorado for a couple of weeks and relaxed a little before and after my internship at innovex downhole solutions. It was a blessing to receive the internship this summer because it was great infield experience working with lead mechanical engineers all summer long. Although I said Colorado was my favorite p...

Week 5 Story: Just a Game

Tom was an All-American hockey player and was the best in Pittsburg. He had major dreams of going to the NHL one day but now he was only 17 and could only work on perfecting his craft. He cam up through the ranks as a young boy being the best on any rink he stepped foot on. He once had a teammate whose name was Jared, who he had done wrong to unintentionally, but Jared never seemed to forgive him.   They came up through the ranks together all the way to their senior year where both of them ended up being drafted by the Pittsburg Penguins. They were both climbing up the ranks on the team and found themselves to be two of the best on the team, let alone in the NHL. Time came and the captain of the Pittsburg Penguins at the time retired. The coach had two guys in mind to take his place, Tom and Jared. Tome was in the better position to take the job because of the connections he had made with the rest of the teammates, but Jared would not let this stop him.   Because way ba...
