Interest post (week 10)

For my interest post this week I chose to do it on being positive. The reason I chose to do it on this is because I think a having a positive attitude in life can make a huge difference. Honestly, sometimes I'm not the most positive person in the world and sometimes I need a little refresher. Being positive is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself! Being positive can help you be more healthy, help with stress and just plain make you happier. Having a positive attitude is all about a state of mind. I use to be constantly negative. I would always just plain dislike everything in life. But you know what? One day I woke up and decided you know what I'm going to happy today. I decided to be positive because I was sick of being miserable. And from that day forward I always try to be more positive about any situation. And since then my life has got a whole lot better. And yes I know that just because you decide to be positive doesn't mean your automatically happy. And sure there might be a lot going on in your life right now but having a negative attitude isn't going to help you. I know sometimes life is hard to deal with but the biggest advice you can use in my opinion is being positive. And that's why I decided to do my interest post on being positive this week because having the right attitude in life has helped me so much and hopefully it will help you too.

Second Blog Post Reflection (Second Project)

Ok, so as you know we've started a new genius hour project for this semester and I picked "How to get a job." And my last update said that I was just finishing up on doing some resume research. Well what I've completed so far since that is all of my research. I finished my resume research and my interview research! I also figured out what my official end presentation is going to be. It's going to be a video of me doing a "interview." So, what I'm going to do next is make a short script for my interview video and get all my supplies together for it. I'm really enjoying this project so far!

Interest post (week 9)

For this weeks interest post I decided to do it on music. The reason I picked music as my interest post is because music has been a huge impact in my life. Music means a lot to me, and yeah I know it's pretty much what everyone says but it's true. Many people say that music is an escape from what's going on in their life and I completely agree. I don't know how many times, I've drowned myself in music just to try and forget about what's happening around me for a while. Another thing music is used for is inspiration. I believe that music can inspire anyone. I think it can make you think deeper and focus so much more. I also believe music can tell you a lot about someone. Depending on what their favorite song is or maybe their favorite lyric. It can help you figure out what they've been through and maybe what their going through right now. I just basically love everything about music. I love the way people get lost when listening, lost while dancing, or maybe lost while they sing to a song. It can show you so much about a person. An example I can use is my brother. My brother loves music so much. And when he finally gets lost in it after a rough night he forgets everything. He'll just start to sing or rap to it and you can see all the stress leave him. He puts every emotion into whatever he's singing/rapping to and it just makes me so happy. The way he expresses himself to music is absolutely amazing, its shows me that music can be so real and raw to someone. I'm sorry it was kind of scattered, but music is just so important to so many people, myself and included and that's why I decided to do my interest post on it this week,

Interest post (week 8)

For this weeks interest post I decided to do it Tumblr. I picked this for my topic because I absolutely love Tumblr and I want to try to show you why. One of the many reasons why I love Tumblr is because you can just be you on there! I'm not even exaggerating either. I know it's a cliche to say that but I'm dead serious. You can literally be the weirdest person ever and people will love you. No matter who you are, people on Tumblr will accept you and love you! In fact, one of the very first things I noticed when going on Tumblr is all the acceptance and openness. The second reason I love the Tumblr is the fact that you can speak your mind. Now this is one of the main reasons why I fell in love with Tumblr. When I started to notice all these bizarre and crazy text posts and that so many people around the world actually agreed and shared their own personal opinions I was shocked. Everything you don't want to say in public or that's on your mind and you think you're the only one that thinks that people post on Tumblr. It was just so refreshing to see that I wasn't alone with these weird thoughts. And it's not just the weird thoughts either, it could be anything. It could be poetry, stories, or even just a sentence and people all around the world will comment or message you. No matter what's on your mind, you can post. The third reason I fell in love with Tumblr is because it's like every other social network put together. It's like Twitter, Blogging and Facebook put together. It's one big social hub! I could go on there and find a new upcoming artist all the way to a funny cat gif. And if you don't think that's awesome then I don't know what to tell you. And the final reason why I fell in love with Tumblr is because of what I learned from it. To be honest, I didn't really know much about equality and culture before Tumblr. But when I joined, I learned so much and I'm still learning. There's so many people out there with opinions that have completely changed my perspective on life. It's amazing. And everyday when I get to go on, I learn even more and my views on everything changed again. And that's why I love Tumblr.

First Blog Post Reflection (Second project)

So recently we've started a new project for our Independent studies class. The new project I decided to do is "How to get a job." I picked this project because I found it very interesting and plus I would really like to learn about this type of stuff. I mean eventually I'll have to learn how to do a resume and how to do an interview. I guess both of them are pretty straight forward, but I would like to be prepared and know what to say when it does happen. So anyways, so far I've only been doing research on resumes. Basically, finding out how to make them and different kinds. I think I'm going to do a little bit more research on them and then start to research about what to do in an interview. So yeah, that's basically it so far. I'm really excited about this project!
