Entry 1: Advice for New Students From Those Who Know (Older Students)
In this article, the author tries to address students, specifically, those who have just started going to school. The pieces of advice to overcome fear and on how to accomplish the educational years with ease came from adults who have gone through the same situation as students CITATION The15 \l 13321 (The New York Times).
The following statements signify that the target audience is incoming students or new students: 1) You are now part of a conversation that would be lacking without your voice; 2) I have a few pieces of advice that helped me two years ago when I started school; 3) Most students arriving at orientation have just left everyone they know behind; and 4) The fact that nobody knew me meant nobody would judge, which, upon reflection, was what I was scared of the most CITATION The15 \l 13321 (The New York Times) These statements show that the speakers are talking to someone younger than them and to those who do not have the experience.
The best advice from the testimonies was to stop expecting the administration to truly care for its students. From my personal experience, administrators tend to protect their reputation more than the welfare of their students. Hence, it is best to place one’s trust in peers rather than the administration.

Entry 2: The iGen Shift: Colleges Are Changing to Reach the Next Generation
Pappano writes about the diversity of the current generation and their tendency to ask many questions and solve problems. This phenomenon differed from the previous years. Thus, the current educational system requires drastic changes to meet the expectations of the students, or else, learning will not ensue CITATION Pap18 \l 13321 (Pappano). The purpose of writing this article is to illustrate how the educational world is continuously adapting to the needs of the students. It is a cycle that should not be impaired to promote excellence.
While it is true that the current students dwell so much on social media and the use of the internet, they shift their reading styles. Hence, it is not true that they do not read books. The proper term is they comprehend the books. Golden, as stated in Pappano, says, “They expect to be treated as individuals. Students raised amid the tailored analytics of online retailers or college recruiters presume that anything put in front of them is customized for them CITATION Pap18 \l 13321 (Pappano).”
Hence this means that this generation is full of critical thinkers and before one can develop this ability, he must read much information. Therefore, the proposition of Pappano is has been disproved by her writing.
