Busy Week

Last week was filled with writing a lot of papers and completing assignments that took up most of my time. I  had also tried to maintain my time to relax and do things that I enjoy, but  that was not possible. I had two exams, and had to write four papers in total for all my classes. It sounds really boring as I am writing this, because it actually was really boring. I sometimes think it is a bad thing if I do not enjoy the assignment that I am completing. I may not put as much effort into an assignment that does not seem important to me. I have actually not joined any extra curricular activities like clubs, because I do not spend that much time on campus .I would not like to be home and then have to come back all the way back for a school  activity. I would probably join something next semester when I am more comfortable with my schedule. I just get to school, arrive to the classes and go home. I commute everyday to campus, and I actually like it. I just live ten minutes away, and I am able to go home whenever I want! I may not experience the campus room and board, but I really would not want to. I would not share my room with other people! I am also saving so much money by living at home, which actually makes me have less payments to make. My goal is to finish college in four years, so right now I am just focusing on taking classes so I can graduate and start my life!  

Experiment

I was assigned to complete an experiment  that required me to go up to  different people and ask them a question. The question that I asked was: What do you think is more acceptable in our society, getting braces to fix teeth, or getting a Rhinoplasty surgery, commonly known as a Nose job? I asked people that I knew and then I asked some strangers. I admit that it was pretty intimidating going up to strangers, because I do not know how they would react, but fortunately everyone that I talked to was friendly. My first person I had asked thought that both a nose job and braces were acceptable in society, and he decided that he would get braces, if he were to make a choice. I had also asked two other people who had agreed that braces are more acceptable in society. I had asked a friend and she responded that these are both accepted in this society, but people who get nose jobs are less likely to admit it, or want to talk about it. I was really glad that I was able to get opinions from these people, because it allowed me to think differently. In my opinion, these days I see a lot of people who get braces and nose jobs. Braces and nose jobs are altering the appearance on an individual which the end result makes the person happy with a new look. Some people are led to believe that an individual is not as happy with themselves, because they choose to modify their appearance. That is how it used to be years ago when it was not that common to get a nose job or braces, but now everyone is doing it! I think it is perfectly fine if someone wants to look better! I have personally have never had braces, due to having naturally straight teeth, or a nose job, because I am afraid to go under the knife, and I do not want one.

Favorite Quote

I really enjoyed my second week of school. For my communication class we were assigned to pick a quote that is meaningful. It took me a long time to decide what quote I would choose, because there are so many that I like. The quote that I chose was a proverb, "Home is where the Heart is." I chose it because my home will always be the place for which I feel the deepest affection and where my family is, no matter where I am. I really enjoyed other quotes from my classmates, some of them stuck out, but mostly they were the "inspirational" quotes that tell us to never give up. By doing this assignment I was able to know a little more about my classmates and know what interests they have. We also had to discuss what major and career we plan to have by the time that we graduate. What I noticed was how there was an excessive amount of psychology majors  and how there  were a lot of classmates who are planning to become teachers in the future. Only three students are science or stem related field, which I found kind of alarming. I know that science and stem majors are not that popular among the student body, but that is okay, because everyone has different interests. I have heard of stem job shortages the demand of careers that will need science and math in the future, but is it really the truth or just a myth? I agree that we need more people in stem and math, but people who are not interested in those subjects should not be forced to work in a career that they dislike.

New Semester

It is important to keep in mind all the important events that occur in our school time. I have noticed that I usually brush aside all the things that occur at school the moment I arrive at home. I completely understand that home and school are two different locations that make us act in different ways. The last thing I would want to do is think about school when I arrive home and vice versa. I have now decided  to reflect on what I am doing at school and how it can help me improve myself.  In this blog I will discuss what I have learned at school, and my experiences that I may be going through. Maybe my experience might help some classmates or they might be  going through the same things that I am going through. It is also interesting to know everyone’s perspective on school, because some students like school, and others may not.The beginning of this semester has been off to a good start. I am enjoying the classes that I am taking which are, Statistics, Sociology, Communication in group processes, and English 1007. I enjoy these classes and had noticed that each of them will require me to do a bit of reading outside of class. There is a vast array of people in my classes, and all my professors are really nice and understanding. I can admit that I miss my old schedule and classes of last semester. Everything I learned last semester has helped me academically as a student and as a person. I have no idea why I picked this blog title, I guess that I ran out of ideas. I think I will get used to these classes and schedule as this semester progresses.
