Prompt: Starting with a situation that you have struggled with, that you anticipate
struggling with, or a situation that you know someone has struggled with, identify a
problem that a college student is likely to face and offer them advice about how to
overcome that problem. Your essay should:
● focus on one specific problem that’s relevant for a college student and related to
the college experience
● carefully name and describe the problem, using sensory description and/or
narration to help your reader vicariously experience the problem
● contextualize the problem by quoting and/or paraphrasing 1-2 different
secondary sources, which may be popular online sources and/or peer-reviewed

“negative” tactic should be reasonable, and your task is to propose 1-3 better
“best practices” tactics for overcoming the problem in question
● propose 1-3 “best practices” tactics your reader should use to overcome their
problem
