For my topic I am thinking about writing about 'midnight' snacks and/or maybe weight gain in college. One of the main questions I want to focus my paper on is "Is the midnight trip to 1873 really worth it?" I am not sure if this topic is too broad, or if it is too narrow, because college weight gain might be a hard topic to find in magazine and periodicals. I thought of this one night when I was hungry and I wanted a snack, but the fear of gaining weight in college crossed my mind. This made me think about how bad it REALLY is to go and get the discount $.99 chicken at 1873. Do you think I can find a sufficient amount of information over this topic? I think my peers will be interested, because the lines in 1873 at night are crazy long, and I am sure that some kids sitting among this classroom today have been a part of that line. Is there any ideas you can help me think of to make my paper narrow/broad enough? I might also suggest to the reader alternative foods that they can snack on during late hours of the night. I am no health freak, but it just makes me wonder what really goes into those fried popcorn chicken and curly fries.
Research Question: Is the midnight trip to 1873 really worth it?
-I am not really sure the answer to this question, the obvious answer is...It depends on your daily activities and what you eat, but I am curious to find out more and see how much it will cost someone in the gym the next day.
This question will be helpful to me or anybody, because people eat. Some people simply get hungry and casually walk over to 1873 or drive through a fast food restaurant without thinking about the fat and calories that they are putting in their body, that they are not working off,because they go back to their dorms and sit on facebook or sleep. This topic can apply to anyone. People that are not college students get hungry at late hours of the night and do the same thing. After football games in high school we would all pile in people's car and go to sonic at 10 or 11, which I thought was somewhat bad then...now I see people walking through the doors of 1873 at like 1:00am. I think that my research will just inform people of where the food really goes that you consume late at night, and I might be able to give some tips as to alternative 'snacks' that they can have instead of stuffing their face with fried food or a chocolate cake with mounds of ice cream.

Abbey,
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent topic. You'll end up doing some different kinds of research in order to reach further than TCU. You can start with The Skiff, but then take a look at other colleges and what they say about "the freshman 15" (which would be a good keyword search for you). You can also look at nutrition journals. Let me know if I can be of any help.
