Finding alternate routes to college that maximizes the walking experience sounds easy to find. What’s the focus of the walk, history, beauty, it all depends on the person taste. I believe walking and having nature in mind would maximize the walking experience to school. Diane Ackerman wrote an article called “Languishing in sensory poverty; Meanwhile.” In this article the author gives her perspective on technology and it’s affecting over nature. “Age, Grace, and the art of walking outside” author not listed, also state the importance of experiencing nature. The author mentions in his article that talking a walk would improve your mood and increase your ability to memorize things.Other than focusing on the time, we need to pay attention to the area around us. I believe nature should play a large role in creating an alternate route to college, the detour would prove the individual with relaxation and in the long run improve academically.  

In the morning, I have one goal; arrive to class on time. I believe this goal similar to every student in any school. I recommend taking an extra 10 minutes to finding a place where you can take a detour to enjoy some time alone to admire the scenery around you. Connecting with nature is very difficult especially in an urban area such as Brooklyn. Taking an extra 10 minutes in the morning to enjoy a simple walk could benefited the individual with peace and relaxation. Columbus Park and the Korean War Veterans plaza are the few places around City Tech where I can enjoy some aspect of nature. When arriving from the number 5 train from the Brooklyn borough hall station, you are able to see the supreme court building. Then you would have to walking straight through Columbus Park and enjoy the scenery. During this time of year I am able to see the trees change color from the bright green to a orange and yellow leafy color. The color of autumn. I believe this route integrates the aspect of nature with your morning walks to create a peaceful and delighted walk to school.

Diane Ackerman wrote an article called, “Languishing in sensory poverty; Meanwhile.”. in this article, the author express her point of views towards technology and how is affecting our perspective of nature. Ackerman is not opposed to technology, she is just concern with the effects that technology has towards our viewers of nature. The author states “… we’re spending less time alone with our thoughts, and even less relating to other animes and nature”  She believe a possible solution would be spending a few moments a day paying close attention to nature. I believe the morning detour to school would provide an element of nature that the individual should experience.

In the article  “Age, Grace, and the art of walking outside” author not listed, from the Telegraph-Journal, mentions a study which was published in the Journal of Affective Disorder. The study states  “ … improves our mood and make us capable of better performance on a memory test.”  A simple walk through a park, having a moment to yourself to reflects on our academic skills for school could improve your memory. Other than improved memory, a simple walk could help the person with depression. The article also mentions how living in the urban areas is expressly hard to experience nature. “There is a considerable negative effect on you as vehicle exhaust, horn blowing and the roar of traffic introduce air and sound pollution” Living in an urban environment has its sacrifice. During the morning walk to school i recommend listening to your favorite artist or relaxing gender. This would improve your walking experience and lets you have that moment alone and get that relaxation.

Both articles, “Age, Grace, and the art of walking outside” by unknown, and “Languishing in sensory poverty; Meanwhile” by Diane Ackerman stress the importance of experiencing nature. Taking some time to go in a little walk  to experience nature would only be beneficial. Not only are you improving your physical health by walking a couple of extra blocks but you also improving your mental health. Talking a simple walk through a park, experiencing nature would decrease depression and also improve your ability to memorize things easier.

In this city, people are alway seem so busy, whether its on a weekday or a weekend, and the question I have for them and myself is; are we happy where we are right now? Or the moment we stepped out the house at 7a.m in the morning? While I was rushing to school, I notice there are many adults with their briefcases, students with their backpacks. New York City is a beautiful city and we, the young one always ignored the beauty of it. Yes, the young one, because we still in the early stage of our life and we got caught up with responsibilities. People in their late stage of their life are the one who notice the changes and the beauty of this city. When we are on our ways to our destination, our moods either tired, fed up, sleepy or annoyed. There are ways to boost up our mood early in the morning, and depends on if you have extra time for it. A walk through a path filled with nature or peacefulness can helps you relief your stress and achieve your inner desire for calmness.

The route I take to get to my class is a common route that multiple people take. I’ve never notice any details as I rush to my class, the views from the first day became parts of my memories and I’ve never bother to go update or renew it. Weeks ago, I came up with the thoughts of walking through the same route but in a slow pace. I stepped out the R train station, passed through the mall. When I looked in, I saw worker placing the food in it’s section. The steam from the food blurred out the windows and also my view. I walked through the same path everyday but never noticed the changes. Between the NYU building and the Chipotle, there’s a little road with light poles on each side. If you look carefully, you’ll noticed the Christmas light decoration around the poles, waiting for night time to come for them to brighten up the street. Instead of making a turn towards Starbucks like I usually do, I walk straight to the other NYU building. There’s a little park on NYU’s campus, when I was walking towards it, There’s a giant Christmas tree in the middle of the road. The Christmas tree is something that wasn’t there in the first place, the community put it up due to the upcoming Christmas season. When I enter the park, the leaves are resting on the ground, the trees are held bald, however, it does not ruin the peacefulness of this park. In the park, there are benches for passengers or students to relax. The views calm me down, brought peacefulness in my heart.

There are multiple routes to the school but R train takes less times and more efficient. Our daily commute can be delayed which cause ruins our morning and that’s why choosing the right route can gives our mood a little twist. My daily route might seem common but it’s the little details that separate it from common to enjoyable.

In New York and the city, people go through rough times and what I mean by rough times is when people go through crowded areas, when people are usually busy everyday, and when people have hard times to find jobs. I believe that every New Yorker are strong because New York is a popular place and it is hard for others to find a place to live. In my mornings, I take the easiest and fastest route as possible to get to City Tech. I take a lot of routes including buses and trains. Transportation takes a long time in Queens. It usually takes two hours to get here and I usually have morning classes so I would have to wake up early around 5 in the morning.

The first route I take is the Q27 bus in Queens. The Q27 bus is a long ride in queens because I live in Bayside and the bus goes to flushing. I usually sleep in the bus because Flushing MainSt is the last stop. Usually, people would wake me up at the last stop but I would wake up by myself. After getting off the bus, I would usually get breakfast from Dunkin Donuts because my classes are early and the lectures are really long. When I’m in Flushing Mainst, it’s really busy and crowded with a lot of Asian people. There are a lot of transportation in Flushing and a lot of places to shop and eat. Whenever I’m in Flushing Mainst, I think of Flushing like the city in Times Square because there’s a lot of lights and people.

The second route I take is the 7 train. There are two different 7 trains in the morning which is the express train and the local train. The express train is a lot faster for my route because it takes about 30 minutes or 40 minutes. The local train takes an hour to get to 5th avenue. I would have to get off 5th avenue to transfer to the F train. After getting off the 7 train to 5th avenue, I would have to walk inside the train station to the downtown F train.

The third route I take is The F train. The F train also has two trains which are the express train and the local train. I have to take the local train because the express doesn’t take you to Jay St. The local F train takes 20 minute to Jay St. I would just listen to music in the train and look at the stops. After getting off on Jay St metrotech, I would have to walk to City Tech. After getting out of the train station, the walk is about 5 – 7 minutes to city tech. However, I would see NYU campus and the building. NYU campus has a great view because there are a lot of people walking by and there are a lot of good restaurants like Chipotle, Five Guys, and more. There are better restaurants like Shake Shack, McDonalds, BurgerKing, and Panera Bread. When I’m in City Tech early, I would sometimes grab breakfast in the cafeteria. I would eat bacon, egg, and cheese in croissant. However when I go to City Tech late, I would run up the stairs and go to class. Sometimes, I would feel lazy and take the elevator.

When I go to class, I would take notes and I would try to concentrate in class. The lectures are really long and some professors are really boring so I would sometimes take a nap. After class, I would grab sometime to eat for lunch. Shake Shack is good quality but very expensive for a burger. It would cost around $13 for a small burger. I usually save my money and not eat lunch at all. After lunch, I sometimes have classes and sometimes I would not have classes. After finishing school, I would have to go back to the F train. The route is kind of different than the one I explained earlier. I would take the F local train to Queens/Manhattan. I would get off 42nd st to transfer to the 7 train. During the afternoon, the trains only runs local till 3 PM because it’s usually not busy in the afternoon.

The 7 local train is a very long ride because it takes an hour so I would sleep in the train. Sometimes, people would wake me up but sometimes I would wake up around 10 minutes before my last stop. After getting off the 7 train, I would have to walk 3 blocks to the bus stop. However, I would go to the gym after getting off the 7 train. The bus is the same bus I take in the mornings and get off at Horace Harding exp which is in Bayside. The bus ride is usually 30 minutes long.

In the mornings, my transportation depresses me but sometimes, I would wake up as a happy person. I really like walking in the city because there are a lot of people and a lot of lights. The city changes my mood in a positive way but in Flushing main st, I really don’t care because I go there almost every day.

To begin our peer review, read your classmate’s introduction. Answer the following two questions:

  1. Is it clear what the theme of the route is?
  2. What is the thesis statement? Identify it, and also put it in your own words.

Continue reading.

If the project does not yet have an introduction, read the draft and offer your insight into what the theme is and what the thesis statement is (the two questions above).

Whether the project has an introduction yet or not, use the thesis statement you have identified as a map to the rest of the project. Does each paragraph fit within that thesis statement? If not, how can you expand it or revise it to make it work? Or, how could you alter the focus of the paragraph to make it work?

For each draft you read, write an outline of what is there and what needs to be added that the author can take home to use while revising. This outline should be specific!

New Route’s Mental Health Benefits project 4

Being a college student in an urban place, such as New York City, can become a hassle. Not only do we have to worry about our grades every semester, but we also receive stress by the simple reason of commuting in the city. The importance for City Tech students is to add walking through the park to their commute would be beneficial for them . Nature is significant to our mental health because it relieves stress, and as a college student that is crucial. It can also be beneficial because it sharpens your memory and it keeps you more aware of your surroundings.

The usual route that I take to City Tech is the most effective one for me, but it does not benefits’ me in absorbing nature. I take the R train, from a block away from my home  to Jay St-Metro Tech. It only takes me five minutes to get to City Tech and then I get stuck inside for four hours daily. Just describing my usual route, it already stresses me out. As soon as I wake up, I get enclosed inside the subway, only to come out and become confined in college. This might be a common feeling for City Tech students. In New York Times, the article “How Walking in Nature Changes the Brain” by Gretchen Reynolds mentions, “Various studies have found that urban dwellers with little access to green spaces have a higher incidence of psychological problems than people living near parks and that city dwellers who visit natural environments have lower levels of stress hormones […]”. This is common in New York City and it is relatable to everyone, not just college students. That is why the different route that I have decided on is more beneficial. The reason being, that the ten to fifteen minutes walk, from High St. to City Tech passes by a park.

Although, this route still involves passing by grey tall buildings, the moment you walk inside the park to get to the street you need to cross is a great feeling. The feeling of suffocation of the buildings disappears, along with your stress and thoughts. The park is like a mini-meditation spot, breathing in the fresh air that the trees provide us with, becomes a blessing. Hearing the birds chirp and watching the squirrels live their daily life becomes relaxing. Tress line up , showing me the path to this free and easy journey putting my mind at ease.  This route will be even better during the middle of the semester. When there is a lot of work to do, especially when finals start to come in. In the article, “13 Mental Health Benefits of Exercise”, by Sophia Breene, she mentions a lot of different ways that walking or any exercise can do to our body and mental health. But I am going to focus more on the mental health side because that is vital in a college student’s way of living. Breene mentions, “Exercise also increases concentrations of nor epinephrine, a chemical that can moderate the brain’s response to stress. So, go ahead and get sweaty — working out can reduce stress and boost the body’s ability to deal with existing mental tension”. Walking is considered an exercise. Therefore, it is important to incorporate a walk of ten to fifteen minutes in your daily schedule to reduce stress. It does not only have to be related to college stress, but also, personal stress. Having mental tension is awful and if a bit of walking can fix the problem a bit.

Not only does walking in the park reduce stress, but it can also sharpen your memory, which is favorable college students. Breene comments that, “Regular physical activity boosts memory and ability to learn new things”. This adds more positive feedback to the new route I’ve decided because if it becomes part of a City Tech walker’s routine, it can benefit them greatly. Having the capacity to have a better memory and to learn new things is significant as a college student. The majority of us wish that we had that ability naturally, but if there is a way to fix it then might as well take advantage. To realize that such a simple routine, such as walking for a certain amount of time can do so much is quite surprising. It is only a matter of waking up earlier and trying your best to see the positive side of taking the alternative route. It is always great to spice things up, especially when it come with positive mental health benefits.

The different route I have decided on has many beneficial things to offer City Tech walkers. Walking for a few minutes can change a lot within your mental health. It is useful because it can make you grow more as a college student and prepare you, mentally for anything school related. Having a unique connection to nature may sound cheesy, but it is scientifically proven that it can reduce stress and boost your memory. As a college student myself, I find this very important because in order to succeed in classes, your mental health needs to be prioritized. If the stress you have cannot be relieved in any way, then it can intervene with your studies and grades.  This is why I think my alternative route is worth a City Tech walker their time and effort. It will benefit them mentally speaking, which is important. Especially, in a city like New York.

Whether its being held up on an over-crowded train, walking in between a throng of people, or just waiting for your bus to come, a New Yorker’s commute can really determine if you’re going to have a good day or not. In my morning commutes I try my best to find the fastest, most time efficient ways to get  to school. Being the fast walker I am absolutely dislike to be held up by foot traffic, especially if I’m running late to class. Therefore, I mapped out several routes that I can take to and from school that won’t have me feeling drained or put me in a bad mood for the remainder of the day.

The first route which is the first route I began taking and probably the worst is the Jay Street route. This route is fast but only in the mornings. After school you would have to deal with people coming out of school and to and from work. It’s busy and the sidewalks are packed. This route starts off by leaving the Namm buildings main entrance and walking south of Jay Street. I usually take a shortcut to avoid the large amount of people walking on the narrow sidewalk. This shortcut is a little pathway that leads under a walkway that is used for the Marriott Hotel. At the end of the pathway is Rocco’s Tacos restaurant which is at an intersection on Adams Street. Crossing Adams Street will lead up to elongated steps which lead into Columbus Park, which is where the Kings County Supreme Court  is located. I take the 4 train which is accompanied by the 5 train on Borough Hall which usually doesn’t take too long to come. Consistently having to bop and weave people, and the petrifying smell of the second hand smoke that you receive from cigarette smokers isn’t worth walking down Jay Street, so I had to find an alternate.

The second route is the the B41 route. This route is more convenient if you need food in the morning or after class. If I don’t eat breakfast in the morning, it’s very difficult to pay attention in class and I tend to fall asleep. A healthy breakfast in the morning is how you get your vitamins and nutrients to help fuel your day. I learned that from reading the article “Benefits of eating a Healthy Breakfast” by Karen Fifield. Without knowing this I would’ve continued to eat junk food such as waffles which provides nothing for me but sugar, which actually increases my chance o crashing in class. Now I indulge in an orange with a small bowl of cereal , which helps energize my walk to the bus. The bus stop is a about 3 blocks away from my house, and that travel alone is tiring. Taking the B41 straight from my neighborhood all the way to Livingston and Nevins. This route is a little more time consuming but its worth it. Getting off the bus you would be right down the block from Fulton street. Fulton street has a variety of places to eat, you got McDonalds, burger king, shake shake on the farther end of Fulton street and many small pizzerias and Chinese spots. If your not in the mood for that, continue walking down Fulton until you approach Jay Street. Yes I know, for the several reasons on why Jay Street is not a preferred street to walk on this is only if you really want lunch a little more pricey . If you continue to walk down until you hit the Jay Street Metro-tech train station there is a Chipotle and Five Guys just around the corner. It’s usually busy around the afternoon hours , but Chipotle is life right? After enjoying your Chipotle meal you would have to endure that dreadful walk on Jay street where you can enter City Tech through the main entrance. It’s important to ensure that you’re well fed throughout the day because hunger leads to lack of energy and lack of energy leads to tiredness.

The third route, which is the most alluring route and the route I take now is the Columbus Park Route. After getting off the 4 train on Borough Hall I walk straight up Columbus Park. Admiring the Statue of Christopher Columbus and walking freely with way more space than Jay Street sidewalk. Barely anybody walks this way and I love it, If i’m in a rush I wont have to worry about pedestrians getting in my way. You can take the same route if you’re coming from the 2 or the 3 station as well. It’s mostly quiet , the most noise I would here is from a dog barking from playing fetch with it’s owner. This route is perfect for the morning when all you need is a clear mind. Finding a better route can help exercise your brain, as well as preparing you for the day you have ahead of you. I wouldn’t have known this if it weren’t for the article “Top 10 ways to improve your commute” by Alan Henry. As you continue to walk straight through Columbus Park, you begin to notice several statues, whether it’s the Robert F. Kennedy statue, the Christopher Columbus statue, or the Henry Ward Beecher statue. Finally you should come across Johnson street where you should make the right turn which eventually leads to Adams Street. Cross Adams Street and the main Namm building will be right there, you can enter through the Adams Street entrance, which in my opinion is more convenient since its already on the 1st floor as oppose to being on the ground floor. I’m really lazy in the morning so this really comes in clutch. I noticed that ever since I started taking this route I wouldn’t be as tired as if I were to take the others. I also notice that my performance in my classes are far greater.

Going to a community college in the downtown area of Brooklyn can be a drag, especially with the throng of people, slow walkers, and “boagie” smokers all around can upset anybody. This is why its beneficial to have more than route to avoid all that exasperation. With the aid of my English professor I was able to establish this new found route to get to school that has relinquished my hatred for commuting to and from City Tech.

New York city is one of the most noisy and busiest cities in america. There is never a peaceful quiet moment streets are packed and it hard to get by. But there are backroads and quick short cuts that brings you to the same destination but just in a quiet peaceful route because there are some days you don’t want to be bothered annoyed or deal with moody commuters or the crowd you just want to get to point A and be in peace.

One day on my commute to school I was very exhausted  and cranky and didn’t want to deal with the crowd or moody commuters so i decided to take my own way around to school. I took my usual route the 7 train to the F train to get to Jay street and metrotech i walked down to the corner willoughby street and made a left and walked down a block. It was still busy but not really on that block i found a pizzeria that sold $1 and some beauty store. On that corner i turned at lawrence street and made my way back up. This way was quiet and peaceful no crowds nothing empty street. I walk up to blocks on myrtle ave That when i started to see things i saw chipotle on side and five guys on the other side then i continued to walk up and saw tables and chairs where people get to sit and eat and a statue of a alligator and big trees and chairs for people to chill out in and i continued to walk more up the block i noticed damn this feels like it’s straight out of a movie and it’s peaceful once i hit Johnson st. I saw the new city tech building being constructed and made a left to go up that block and then i was across city tech i just had to cross the street and go up. This commute took a little longer like 2-4 minutes longer but its was something more different than my usual route and more peaceful.

When living in New York City there is something that we all will always come across even though it is always mutually resented. That being, traffic. This is something that can easily be seen on my commute from to and from the college. Be it many various cars blocking the bus route, or the amount of people that are trying to get to and from work or school in this area, it can sometimes be a nightmare. There are several different things that can be done to avoid this traffic. One being that you can come off the bus a stop or two prior to your destination point and then walking the rest of the way there. It is even said that walking is good for your health especially when most Americans are overweight or obese. This alternate can really help in the transition to a healthier lifestyle.

For my commute to City Tech, I usually take the bus from the first stop, at Myrtle-Gates, all the way to the last stop, Myrtle-Jay Street, and while the commute is mostly smooth, when coming to the ending portion, it can be a tedious wait as we wait for the cars or people to get out of the way. An alternate suggestion would be to get out a couple stops prior at Navy or Prince Street and walking through the Myrtle promenade. Thereby adding some natural beauty into the commute as there are many trees and a lot of greenery there during the spring, summer and autumn months. This can also serve as an entry point to the various stores and restaurants that are along the strip.

In the article “Give Your Ideas Some Legs: The Positive Effect of Walking on Creative Thinking” by Marilyn Oppezzo, there was research done on the effects of walking when compared to creativity. There were four experiments done which linked more walking to an increased amount of creativity in the person. This can be very useful if your school or job demands a creative sense of work ethic but can also help your mind when going through the mundane activities of each day.

Another really good reason for adding the walk would be for the added value of seeing the greenery of the various parks that litter the city. It can be a change of pace when all you see are the tall grey buildings of our metropolis. You can see other animals like squirrels and various birds instead of the rats and pigeons that are always over the city streets. If you are a morning person, the chirps of the morning birds can be a pleasant background noise instead of the usual hum and revving of the almost industrial sounding vehicles that everyone is using to get to work in the mornings.

On the other hand, throughout the walk there are many types of people that can also be observed in the district. From the often loud and obnoxious sounding screeching and hollering of the middle and high school kids to the somewhat calmer and collected college students in the area. A vast difference can be observed. While it is understandable, or some might even say excusable for middle school children to behave in such a way, you can really see the difference in attitudes as they are usually in packs of all the same gender and retching at the other. As you morph into the high school kids you see they are more mixed while some of them remain in the loud middle school mentality. Going further up in line when observing the people of college age, they can be more mature than the others that share the streets with them, however, unfortunately, you can see that some never outgrow the immaturity that has been with them all their lives. It can be hard sometimes to differentiate the three groups as there are middle schoolers who look and dress well beyond their years and there are some college aged people who you would never guess are their age. The ones who you can never confuse though, are the business types that are always in suits along with the ones that are going to court. Although they may not wear suits, if you pay close enough attention, you can sometimes see that they wear their worries on their faces. They can appear timid and meek due to their circumstances or they can appear annoyed or irate. It can be interesting to see the various types of emotions people display when in the same situation as it can reassure that, yes we are all uniquely fashioned. The business types can be headed into the courtroom that is next door to the college or could be headed into any of the various buildings in the adjacent areas, but they all have one thing in common. Most are very uptight and snotty. They believe they are better than others. They can be seen pushing others out of their way. Some may say “They’re in a rush.” A simple excuse me would do. When anyone tries to approach them they have such disdainful looks upon their faces. A person should go and make their own inferences though as it can help you learn more about others

All in all, adding a walk into your daily routine can be a great experience as it will add some clarity and creativity into your day. It can keep you calm and collected and will be an overall great experience for your life.
