Reflection

I honestly didn't know what to expect coming into this course. I had a hard semester; I was taking 18 credit hours, had a part-time internship and was competing for our University of Toledo Softball team. I was turning in assignments at 11:58 p.m. as well as experiencing a ton of technically difficulties with my Wi-Fi and computer. But I can honestly say that this was my favorite class this semester. I found myself branching out and showing my friends and family the artwork I was creating. I was having fun with the assignments, learning a bunch of new things and pushing myself to work outside of my comfort zone. I think my favorite assignment by far was the website, I was wondered how those were made and it was really cool as well as fun to establish my own page. I think that we covered a variety of topics among the digital media world and this could personally help me with my own career. I want to do Athletic Communications with a major league sports team, this can include; social media, digital media and pictures to be taken. I think that by getting some sort of experience with digital media could really put me above other candidates that are also up for the same job. I think I will be more on the communications side of sports but this class has been an absolute blast to learn. I am really glad I chose to take this course as one of my electives this semester; the course work that I had to complete was totally worth all the stress that went into it. All of the assignments were interesting but I think what I will value the most is the confidence this course instilled within me. Before this class I always said I wasn’t artsy enough or crafty but I think after pushing myself past those limits I set on myself, I created some really unique and fun art that I am truly proud of. Thank you for your time and checking out my blog, I had a great time!

Friends

"You are who you surround yourself with." This rings true for many people and has definitely changed my life. I decided to change my group of friends my junior year of high school and I constantly am changing friend groups. These decisions come with the fact that I was happy with the friends I was with. They were mean, nasty, and selfish. I didn't think they were people whom I wanted to be surrounded with. They were always putting people down as well as making me feel bad about everything. I become a lot happier and nicer when I started making friends that were more like my own personality. They made me grow they didn't try to hold me back. This was the most import part of out friendship. THEY HELPED ME GROW AND FLOURISH. They love having people around me that instill something positive or helpful within me and I can do the same in their life. I don't have time for toxic people and those people that were in my life before now were all apart of God's plan b

What Makes You Happy?

-
Find something you love to do and makes you feel happy. For me it would have to be baking cupcakes, nothing special straight from the box but my secret is organic eggs. I like to bake a ton of cupcakes when I am feeling down, angry and even happy. It makes me feel satisfied when all my friends and I get together to decorate the cupcakes. I dye vanilla frosting into a bunch of different colors and sometimes even dye the cupcake batter just for fun. After the cupcakes are all decorated I will bring them to friends unexpectedly so that I could make someone else feel just as happy as I do about my cupcakes being beautiful. I know that this sounds simple and it just boxed cupcakes but I feel the happiest when I get to spend time with my friends or by myself doing something I enjoy. Finding something that makes you happy could be extremely small or huge but either way the most important part is that the actions make you feel happy and clear headed. I think trying a few different things t

Discovery

-
I think everyone goes through something that makes them question everything about themselves, just to become better, smarter and tougher. I went through a horrible breakup about a year ago. My significant other at the time was horrible now that I look back at it. He was cheating, lying and verbally abusive. I look back and I really questioned why I stayed as long as I did but I only stayed because of the abuse I was experiencing. When I realized enough was enough I stood up for myself and ended up breaking up with him. I not only felt liberated but happy. I cried a lot but this launched me in a path of self discovery. What I learned first was that I don't think we understand were lost until something so big blows up in our face and their is no way to ignore it, like most want to. I tried to distract the hurt I was feeling by trying new things and hanging with old friends I hadn't seen in years. I went vacationing, made new friends, experienced a renaissance faire, and learned t
