Oh, the concept of group work...

Classroom group work is something that one either loves or hates. Some might find themselves constantly doing the entire project by themselves, where others might sit back and do absolutely nothing. In my case, I have a very hate/love kind of relationship toward group work. On one hand, I am oftentimes the individual that does the entire project on my own. Most of the time I don't trust the rest of my group members enough to do a good job, so I typically decide to take on the task by myself. On the other hand, I enjoy getting to know others through group projects. There is always something new to learn and it is interesting to discover little things about those around you.

I feel as if the final group project assigned in class last week will be a very interesting process for many reasons. The team that I am on should produce intriguing circumstances. I'm fairly certain that all three of us are typically the ones to take on the role of "doing all of the work", so it should be a surprise to see what happens. Also in regards to this, I feel like all three of us like to have things done our own ways/feel a little power-hungry sometimes. Again, interesting things will occur.

Adding to the intrigue that this project presents is the topic we chose to cover-- food. Food is a huge part of any college student's life, and it should be interesting to investigate the different aspects of it both on and off campus. We divided the roles up so that I will be covering "Marquette-known" restaurants(Dog Haus, Real Chili, Marquette Gyros...) and campus vendors. This will actually be quite a learning experience for myself, seeing that I embarrassingly have never been to the Dog Haus or Real Chili.

Although the project seems as if it will be a decent amount of work, I believe that it will be an enjoyable work effort. I'm happy with the team I was placed on, and although it should be interesting, I am certain that we will do an excellent job. I'm excited to explore a part of Marquette that I personally am not very knowledgable of, and expect a good number of months to accompany this project.
